Well, the Weightless Scarf encountered tragedy just a week before my "deadline" (aka - my friend's birthday). So it's now going to be a Christmas present - IF I can manage it. In the meantime, I needed something a bit simpler, so I'm knitting the Midwest Moonlight scarf by Ivy Bigelow from Scarf Style. It's fabulous!! It's simple, fun, and beautiful. It's going to be my mom's Christmas present. She's allergic to both wool and acrylic, so she can never find scarves in the store. So I'm making this one out of a fabulous cotton yarn. I'm trying to keep one thing on the needles at a time, but the colder it gets outside the more I'm tempted to go ahead and cast on some fingerless mitts for myself. My hands are always cold!
In other news... I GOT MY RAVELRY INVITE!!!!!!!!!! Yay! It's so much fun. I've posted all my needles and yarn stash and books, joined three groups and found the pattern I will use when I do cast on those fingerless gloves.

On the work front, things are looking up. We're actually ahead of schedule for the first time in two months. And we're having a meeting in the near future to discuss "what we want out of our jobs" because, in the words of our boss, "we can make these jobs into whatever we want them to be." That's music to my ears!
