2nd sock/mitten syndrome
I've come down with 2nd mitten syndrome. I have not yet ventured into the world of knitting socks, though I'm on the brink and equipped with all of the necessary supplies (sock blockers...check). In the meantime, I am building my confidence with dpn's with a pair of fingerless mittens for my swap partner on http://www.ravelry.com. Though the first mitten is completed, albeit with a few mistakes in figuring out the proper way to 'm1', I am struggling to make some headway with the second mitten. This must be what that whole 2nd sock 'thing' is all about. I gave myself the deadline of finishing by Friday, as this swap has gone on all year and Halloween is the theme of this round. Unfortunately, due to lesson plans and paper grading being a top priority, and in general, not having my heart in the second mitten, it remains unfinished. I've communicated with my partner and to my great relief, she hasn't finished my hand-made gift either. We have agreed to finish our projects over the weekend and ship our packages on Monday. Lesson plans are done, paper grading typically waits until Sunday, so I now have nothing standing in my way. I think I will spend much of my Saturday on the couch, catching up on my dvr'd knitting shows, and finishing this doggone mitten! I will cure this syndrome!
