*this* *close*

My excuse for taking so very very long to post? I don't really have one. Except I've been lazy about both knitting and taking pictures of what I'm knitting haha...

I have, however, very nearly finished the first no-progress mitten (which will have to be renamed in the near future, it seems - hooray!). Today is the day that I conquer the laziness in one department, at least - I didn't want to risk it and put a photo up just now, but I swear, there will be one soon.

In other happy news, I have a new and awesome boyfriend - in Philadelphia!!!!!

And I have spent weekends in the past month in Boston, Providence, and Philly and had an excellent birthday and this weekend I'm meeting you know who in - did you guess? - New York!! The tour of the eastern seaboard continues...
