and I shouldn't be, I took a 3 hour nap today! But it's only 9:40pm and I am likely going to bed soon, which is EARLY for me.
I organized my craft fair stuff today, so instead of ending up all over the room, all the various items I'm making have places to be.
I also finished a new snowflake and did the pieces for another gnome ornament. I wanted to do more small stuff but I pooped out.
I did also work on the second fingerless mitt. I had gotten it half done but kept frowning at it. The yarn is variegated, and on the first one, the thumb turned out all teal (these are garter stitch worked sideways with short row thumbs). So I wanted to reproduce the teal thumb on the second one, thus as soon as I hit teal in the second ball of yarn I started the thumb. But there was some dark blue shortly after the teal started, so the thumbs didn't match. Grrr. I tried to leave it but it bothered me to much and I ended up ripping back and knitting some more straight rows until I was far enough into teal for the thumb. I'm much happier now, but I had planned to finish the mitt today and that didn't happen. Oh well.
