Back in business

Greetings from Northampton! Yes, the move was successful. So far it seems like we only lost one glass. This week has been utter chaos. Here's a picture of the um, Box Room (okay, okay, eventually it will be a living room).

Actually, it looks a lot better now since my wonderful parents arrived on Tuesday to help us unpack and clean. Speaking of wonderful parents, mine just returned from a vacation in Italy. Look at what my mom got for me in Florence!

The woman at the yarn store assured her it was a large enough skein for a small baby blanket. So what did we do, but leave Dave and my dad behind and rush off to Webs! I found a nice pattern and got some needles and my mom found some beautiful yarn for a scarf for herself. I am blanking on the name, but it was similar to Manos del Uruguay (in both price and beauty).
