Spinning with store-bought yarn

I've been practicing spinning store-bought yarn with my hand-spun wool. This morning I combined a wool/acrylic mix (solid blue) with thick-and-thin handspun wool (the roving is shown, dyed blue/white). The result is a chunky yarn that looks slightly candy-striped. I started knitting a sample and I lime how it's turning out!

Pepsi Night on Santa Cruz Boardwalk - featuring Delorians and beach movie (Back to the Future)

They set up an inflatable movie screen and projected Back To The Future. 5 or 6 Delorians (the stainless steel gull-wing car used in B2F) were parked on the boardwalk. Huge crowds!

Trip to the Seymour Marine Center, Santa Cruz

The octopus was given a puzzle box to try and solve to get at a piece of fish. Shark eggs look alien! This marine center is a small "real research" local gem.
