Gah!

Gah! Stupid mitten! I hate you!

(2nd mitten on the left 1st mitten on right)

I started these damned things Sunday the 18th and they have been an exercise in patience ever since (something I really don’t have much of). I re-knit the top of the 1st mittens twice because the decreases looked like ass. Then on the 2nd mitten once I was at the top decreases I realized the cuff was too long, and ripped back to it. Had issues with the 2nd stripe too. The decreases look wonderful on the 2nd mitten. But the freaking flacking thumb gusset doesn’t match the 1st mitten! GAH! GAHHHH!!! I must have knit a row or two extra before putting the thumb sts on hold. GAH! I’m so sorry Tracey, but I won’t have anything to send you for Warm up Winter. I still can’t believe these damned mittens have taken me 10 days! GAHHH!

Sorry they don’t match and have been such a trial. The each look great though!

I think they look great but I totally understand your frustration. I had to put one of my resent project in “time out” as I was ready to throw it across the room.

10 dyas is good, you have 4 kids & oneof them is a baby. It would of taken me 10 months, you’re my idol!

I agree – stupid mittens! Forget all about them – they don’t deserve your attention anymore.

Well, I have yet to make a pair that matches but I love them anyway!:)

No problem dear, it’s the thought that counts. You just make sure you show ‘dem mittens whose boss!

I truly feel your pain. Socks drove me almost to drink when I first started. I was just thinking I would love to learn how to knit mittens. Well, maybe NOT. lol!
