One of these mitts is not like the other...
...One of these mitts just doesn't belong. Can you tell which mitt is not like the other, because Shelley was delirious as she tried to complete just one more Christmas gift?
These lovely mitts (Ingrid's pattern in Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk) for my mother-in-law were nearly complete when I noticed a small ribbing issue. All of the non-knitters I showed them to couldn't tell the difference. But then a knitting friend dropped by and zeroed right in on the problem. Thanks, Lisa!
Yes that's right, all you prodigies out there. One is 1x1 rib and the other is 2x2. Which also has the added bonus of making one set of ribbing look longer than the other. So I will be knitting another one for my good-natured MOL. Proving that holiday knitting is never really done. Sigh.
Getting psyched up for the big sale tomorrow. 75% off clearance. 30% off all in-stock yarn, magazines and kits. 10% off books, needles, notions. Gonna be crazy. Better go get some sleep.

I recently read something about socks which would apply to your mittens: they are faternal rather than identical!
I understand that you had a mob of knitters waiting for you when you arrived to open the store for the sale this morning!! Loop on!!
