What's the buzz ?
I'm baaaaacccckkkk!
Man I'm tired! italy was terrific. I woudln't describe it as a relaxing vacation. Daily hikes of 12+ kilometres (uphill) is tiring. We saw so many beautiful things and ate so much great food. I'm hoping to post some photos online this weekend, so stay tuned.
I got some serious knitting done too. I'm almost half way done with the back section of my latest Rowan sweater project (kid silk haze!) that I started right before I left.
DH and I came to some realizations on this trip... mainly that we are getting too old and too soft to stay in really dive-y accommodations (like our hotel in Rome). We need things like a soft comfy bed, a hot shower, and clean clothes. We were away long enough to really appreciate the luxuries we have at home. Such as a soft bed, a hot shower, and laundry machine. Oh, and Patches!
Speaking of... How did she take us being gone? Pretty well. Gramma and Grampa (Mamabee and BabboBee) came over to hang out with her. Additionally there was the pet sitter, and another friend who stopped by to socialize. I think she didn't even notice we were gone! There's a saying that dogs have owners, and cats have staff. This is particularly true of Patches. Gramma reported that there was at least one toiletpaper attack, but sorry, no photo.
I'm trying to adjust back into work. Lots of work piled up. Stay tuned for vacation photos.

Benvenuti di Roma!
Ciao amici!
Boston worker bee is bloggin to you live from Rome! DH and I got here this afternoon, starving and tuckered. We're not quite up to speed yet, meal/time wise, but we're planning on getting into that tomorrow.
The weather here is terrific. Its cloudy and looks like it may rain, but warm enough to wear sandals and skirts. I got quite a bit done on sweater number two. I wish I could upload a photo. I managed to get thru security at Logan and Frankfurt without getting my knitting needles taken away. Hurrah!
Tonite we going to wander around and stay awake as long as we can. Tomorrow is a big day of eating and soaking in the atmosphere!

Can I just say?
I LOVE kid silk haze.
I haven't started blocking the first sweater yet, but in the meantime thought I'd get things up and running with sweater number 2
The difference between Douceur et Soie and kid silk haze is pretty noticeable. KSH seems to be considerably more springy and fluffy, without being scratchy. Already it seems to be holding its shape better and I think will block very nicely.
Here's a sneak peak

Vacation count down is on
If I'm blogging at work, that means the Vacation Count Down is ON!!
I just took down my vacation web-poll. Hey, you had plenty of time to vote! The results were as follows:
Total votes: 25
Where should Worker Bee go on vacation in October 2007?
China 12%
Japan 0%
India 24%
Greece/Turkey 36%
Sicily 28%
I'm surprised not a single person voted for Japan. Where's the love? Didn't anyone see Lost in Translation? I'll get there one day....
I'm embarrassed to report we are not going to any of the above destinations. And after all that voting! Very considerate of us, I know! On Monday, DH and I are flying out to Rome! For two weeks! Hooray! Our travels will include a week in Assisi, Umbria, and hopefully some day-trips to other Umbrian towns nearby and Napoli, south of Rome. I look forward to reporting back. The MamaBee and BabboBee will be checking in on Patches while we're away.
On a completely different note... do you want to see something really cool? do ya? My co-worker sent me a link to this really interesting and creative knitter's site. Damn, wish I'd thought of that!
