We've Moved...to New England!
We got a new place! The whole bySarah crew has officially picked up and moved back to NewEngland! (Thats me, the murph and two cats that are currently hiding in a closet somewhere.)
I closed on Tuesday, then the movers dropped off all my stuff. I then unpacked from Wednesday to Sunday, with some excellent help from my family, including but not limited to 900 gallons of yard debris (mostly leaves) that we mowed or raked up yesterday, and the garbage man already came by and swooped into his truck today. Here's a view from the back of the house, before we raked:
Since we are almost unpacked, we can now we can get back to our regualrly scheduled knitting, and dogwalking. Expect more pictures soon!

Long time...no post...
The wedding was wonderful...we don't have any of the pics back as the happy couple are still on their honeymoon. As things calm down around here, my thoughts turn to those couple of holiday presents I intend to knit this year. This is a side view picture of the Knitting Needle Knitting Bag by Pam Allen. I showed the pattern to my grandma a while back, and she really seemed to like it, so I decided to knit her a new knitting bag for christmas in one of her favorite coppery colors. I did this 5.5 inches in just one evening, so I am hoping to finish it up in about a week. The yarn in good ol Lion Brand Thick and Quick in colorway Spice. Here's a close up of the berries...
