Saga of the Boomerang Box

Well we joined the SSRP and were lucky enough to be 3rd in line to receive the gamma box. All of the participants were great and the box was sent to us within a couple of weeks. So we open it in and wallow in the stash .. not really we just looked at all of the yarn that everyone was trying to find new a new home for. We both took some and added some and taped the box up like you would not believe. The box was then trotted down (actually lugged is more like it) and mailed off. Well imagine our surprise when the post office dropped off a note saying we had a box from Linda. Linda was the person who sent us the SSRP box. My mom was thinking there's another box, I was my 1/2 empty self thinking hrrmmm the box is back. Sure enough it was. The label that had Emily's address on it was gone but the label from Linda was there. And that's the way my week has gone.

But here are some pictures of the box:

Heres what I took:

It's some Rowan Linen Drape and some Mission Falls Cotton. I didn't take pictures of what we put in but there was some Di Vie Mohair, Mondail Glamour, the Sweater Workshop book, Interweave Spring 2004, and more....

And here is the long awaited picture of my grandmother in her Noro Entrelac Jacket.

On my actual knitting update, Audrey's back is almost complete. I am scared of the sleeves though, on the Audrey blog there have been quite a few instances where the sleeves turned into very long sleeves aka pant legs.
