Definitely MBP -- the color card tells me that they're going to be too delicious for me to decide between them for my project... I think I'll ball them up, and then just stare and, pick them up one by one, and maybe even hug them to my chest.
Of course, I can only knit four more rows before I get to where I need one of the {cough} {choke} EIGHT colors I ordered... (Priority Mail, so it should show up Monday, I think...)

Think of those English Follies? Little domestic jungles? OOOOOHHH! We could get you an urn with a broken neck to put in there! Or a fountain, with a little cherub that you could plant a jungle around! OOOOHHHH!
OK, so maybe that's not quite your vision...

You know me, though: I worry that the fact that I needed one color, and ordered eight, is a sign of Something Bad -- was I being manic? Impulsive? Something Worse? (You know how I was doing yesterday, so you know nothing is going to feel completely right, yes?) But, I am at least speaking back to that inner voice, telling it that I've loved this yarn for years, that I've planned to buy more in February when they come out here again, the one ounce hanks are cheap enough that it's not outrageously expensive, it's not like I'm buying eight of the four ounce skeins, etc.
Oh, well. Whether they're a sign of Dire Things or not, they are drop dead gorgeous colors. I can hardly wait. In fact, I am torn on knitting the next four rows -- I'm afraid of how hard it will be to wait for the new stuff to show up!
(By the way, I'm writing you for advice on which color to choose out of the eight, with the colors I've already got going...)
