Knitting on my Big Fat Italian Vacation

I had a blast at the Villa Roma! Oodles of extended family made it so special! We lazed by the pool and ate way too much food! I visited a few new yarn shops. My Mother , SIL and I took a day trip to a sweet little town, Milford Pa, where we ate at a historic inn and spent a few lazy hours perusing the LYS. Then another day my SIL and I went to Monticello Ny and visited Knit one needle point Two where I purchsed some yummy berry colored silk...WIP pics will follow. Here are some vacation pics:
