Well, I completed the shrug for my mother-in-law (used dark green chenille - my new enemy!) and one of my friends (in black - which looks awesome!).
I've also completed 3 kids hats and am working on a sweater I started a few years ago, the bolero sweater i started a month ago (hate the wool) and a new scarf for myself (first time using double pointed needles in the round!!!).
Speaking of that - i was commuting this morning and taught myself how to use the double pointed needles to knit in the round - hard to manage at first - but once i got the hang of it (meaning: once i figured out i could use 3 needles instead of 2 - couldn't possibly imagine how i would do that!) everything started moving along rather well. I think I'm supposed to turn the scarf inside out at some point - purling should be on the outside and is currently on the inside - but i'm following instructions so i can't be wrong i don't think. Ah, the thrill of victory over the needles - that was my smile today!

Knitting
Current mood: ecstatic
Update on my current knitting projects...finished my pink breast cancer scarf last night - wore it today - LOVE itstill working on my green comfy shrug - using Lion Brand "thick n quick" - it's heavy but will be SO cozy when it's donestarted (barely) another shrug to wear to work - didn't get very far since i tore apart a wrap to make the above mentioned green shrugand i'm thinking of buying more yarn - yeah, i'm a YARN HO!!!finally, i'm about halfway through the Pooh Bear cross-stitch for Casey's 1st birthday - fingers crossed i can get it done and framed in time!peace
Work and other things
Current mood: good
Well, it's a gloomy day in NYC - raining on and off. I'm just hanging out at work making travel plans for everyone - including myself this time! Ken and I got tickets to go to the Phoenix NASCAR race on November 12th - super excited about it!I've got a small headache but am trudging through - figuring it's the rain, and the fact that i've been losing weight - eating less sugars - easier than i thought it would be. my goal is to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight - and beyond!!! So far i've gone down a jean size - the true test since those are the pants all women love to wear!catch ya later alligator!kc

Current mood: mellow
From the commercial for Tina Fey's new show "30 Rock" ...Mood: Tina's character walks into a room of comedy writers wearing a funky 80s-like outfitOne of the writers then says to her "What are you wearing? You're making me gay"I love that - it's fabulously funny (and makes me laugh every time i see it!)
