See, I do knit! These are mittens for my Mom's birthday on the 5th.
Pattern: North Star Mittens from Robin Hansen's knit mittens!
Yarn: Rowan Yorkshire Tweed 4 ply, ball bands lost to the sands of time so no idea which colours they are.
I'm decreasing for the top of the second mitten, so even with my notable tendency to procrastinate, I should have these finished in time before I'm needed back in Montreal. I didn't think Second Sock Syndrome applied to mittens, but now I realize it's just displaced. The problem is the thumbs. Sure, they're tiny and inconsequential. But you get all excited to finish the top, and then you have to pick up stitches and knit a little salt and pepper tube. It's disappointing, is all. Damn thumbs.

I was beginning to wonder if you'd given up on the knitting. Beautiful mitts.
I agree re: second mitt syndrome & thumb syndrome.
