Shame and embarrassment!

So I take this quiz, and find out I'm a knitting guru. Observe:


You appear to be a Knitting Guru. You love knitting
and do it all the time. While finishing a piece
is the plan, you still love the process, and
can't imagine a day going by without giving
some time to your yarn. Packing for vacation
involves leaving ample space for the stash and
supplies. It can be hard to tell where the yarn
ends and you begin.

What Kind of Knitter Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

I was pretty proud of myself for being dubbed a "guru" until I noticed that the majority of the people who took this quiz are gurus. We can't all be gurus.

That said, I guess I'll be the first to take off my yarn crown, because guess what I did? Lookit the cool smoker's mittens* I made for gnomad!



I was so excited when I got them done! Excited for about 20 seconds, at which point I realized I'd attached the mitten shell to the same side of each glove. In these pictures I was trying to do a show-off happy dance, but the joy was diluted by the fact that I'm wearing two left mittens (and by the fact that I'm not quite awake). Yeah, look more closely - the mitten shell is on the same side of each one. Just don't stare at my bingo flaps. Thanks.

By the way, those are my sheepy pajamas. Sorry, gentle readers, but I just rolled out of bed and started writing (well, kind of - you can see I spent some time picking apart the seam of the offending mitten first). Maybe sometime in the future you'll be worth showering and getting dressed for, but not today. Don't take it personally.

The good news is that it's very easy to unravel knitting once the graft is picked apart, and it's not hard at all to attach a shell to the right side of the glove. Very quick work, and I should be done fixing this by the end of the day. And the end of the day will be spent at the Umpteenth Annual Greenhills Volunteer Fire Department Turkey Raffle! WOO! Last night I was telling Darren about it, and kept calling it a Turkey Shuffle.

* I assembled these gloves myself, using two or three different patterns. The idea is that smokers only use the index & middle fingers to smoke, with only the tip of the thumb to flick ashes. That's why I knit up to the tip of the thumb, but didn't close it. I wrestled for all of a nanosecond with the thought of knitting specialized mittens for smokers, since smoking is indeed bad, but decided that my enabling gnomad's smoking addiction cancelled out his enabling my knitting addiction, so it's all good.
