Where for art thou, Jersey Purl?

Alas, I am a Jersey Purl no longer! So many things have happened since my last post it's incredible, and write of all of them would make this incredibly long. Possibly epic. So instead, here comes a list:

1. I'm engaged to Boyfriend. So I guess his name is technically Fiancee now. Or Future Hubby.

2. I got a promotion! Yay for medical insurance!

3. I moved to New York! This is the most recent change; Future Hubby and I have been living together for just about two months now. While we spent a lot of time together before the move, actually LIVING in the same space is proving to be trying at times. We're both incredibly stubborn people who have been used to living on their own for several years, so deciding whose cups and plates get used and whose get put in the attic (yes, attic! In our apartment!) has been an ongoing battle.

In knitting news:
Precious little, lately.

However, for Christmas, nearly everyone received knitted gifts! My mother got a pair of socks, my brother finally got the scarf I'd promised him years ago, and my future sisters-in-law got neckwarmers. Even future hubby received a scarf for his birthday at the beginning of December. It wasn't easy trying to meet the deadlines of the holiday (I believe my mom got one sock on Christmas, and the other by mid-January), but I do believe it was easier on my wallet. And everyone was super thrilled by their handmade gifts (which definitely makes it a possibility that I'll knit for everyone again). Right now I'm working on a pair of socks for Future Hubby that have been a WIP for quite some time now. I'm trying to make a dent in the stash though, since the NY Sheep & Wool Festival is only four months away. I'm unbelievably lucky to have found a man who doesn't mind coming along for the ride while I buy yarn and such.

Okay, I'm off to relax a little before I've got to get ready to work. I believe a little sock knitting and past episodes of Cook Yourself Thin are in order.
