Gah, stupid internet! At least it came back though.
Well done on the seasonal decorating, even if it's not as much as you'd have liked.
It sucks you had to frog the entire mitten, but at least the second attempt sounds more promising.
Oh, I've done that when joining a new skein in at the edge, picked up the wrong end and realised halfway through the row that I was using the end I knew wouldn't be enough for a row. So annoying.
I always sew up from the cast-off end, so I only have a tiny tail at the start of knitting. That works better for me, especially on sweaters where I sew up the side and sleeve seams downwards towards the ribbing.
