I didn't knit a stitch yesterday. After a mini vacation which started last Wednesday afternoon, I headed back to work on Tuesday after tossing and turning the majority of Monday night. Too little sleep, an eleven hour work day, and way to much stress left me limp as a noodle yesterday and crashed out early in the evening. I woke up this morning with a book beside me, lying on a bed of popcorn. (Evidently my husband moved the bowl to the kitchen after I fell asleep). I can at least say I woke up refreshed, and knitting will resume forthwith.
While deciding on my yarn selection for the Holiday Sox Exchange, I have been blazing through Ella. LL Shepherd Sport in Black Purl is just heavenly. It's so soft you would think it has some silk in it. Love, love, love the color as well. I have some in the Shepherd Sock and I can't wait to pick a pattern that takes full advantage of this luscious color. Check out the back of Ella. It so totally cracks me up!
Get your banana boobs right here!

Your Ella is soooo pretty - of course, mine's purple, too - so I guess I'm biased there! Mine took a LOT of blocking and some ironing to get rid of all the "boobs" - but I love it!

That is one gorgeous Ella! I agree with you about Lorna's Laces; that is the sweetest yarn, and the colors are beautiful.
By the way, keep your eyes peeled; there may be a little something arriving in your mail soon....
