I'm All Thumbs

So we've established that cooking is not exactly my forte. Yet. But one thing I can do is knit. Granted, I tend to need a bit of help and the finished product usually has a minor mistake or two. But I typically only knit for myself anyway.

Last week I started a new pattern for fingerless gloves (my favorite thing to make) out of a book my mom gave me for Christmas. Luckily, my mom is a knitting goddess who can generally help me fix any of my mistakes. But some mistakes are too big even for her.

I was happily knitting away, excited about having fun new fingerless gloves, when suddenly I realized that I had two thumb holes. Drat! How did I end up with two thumb holes? Then, I saw that I had a giant twist in my yarn that I couldn't untangle. Time to cut that out, unravel the whole project, and start over.

On to attempt #2.
