Ha!
Finished the 2nd mitten, and the thumb, was about to do the sc edging along the cuff and "then" discovered I started the thumb gusset in the wrong place! Well, at least I know that the yarn rips out easily! It's not been easy to focus lately, and it's only gonna get worse next week, as hubby is having carpal tunnel surgery on his other hand (had one hand done a year ago), so he'll be home (and under my feet) for months. The hardest part is the first week or so, as I'll need to help him do stuff all day long, so talk about having fractured time and mental processes! I "really" have to get a bunch of designs done, though, as once we get into the middle of house showing, selling and moving,it's gonna be nearly impossible to get anything related to my business done or taken care of. I dread these transitions. I "need" to work all the time, as that's how it is when you're self-employed and building a business up from literally nothing, so there really is no time for all this extraneous stuff that life causes. grumble, grumble, grumble.
