I'm such an idiot.

so i took a while to post these pictures because of the disaster that was the light blue/chocolate brown mittens that i was making for andy's sister, jennifer. the other pair is for blanca, my godmother. i was happily taking pictures, addresses and envelopes in hand, ready to run out the door to mail them off. i flipped them around, trying to get different pictures. i can't even tell you how proud i was of these mittens. i loved the colors, and i thought of their intended recipients with every stitch. just a feel good, hard-earned long-distance hug.




And then, as i was happily clicking away, i froze. i flipped the mittens. i didn't even breathe. here i was, ready to send off a pair of mittens (the blue and brown ones) and i just then realized that i knitted two left mittens. are you freaking kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I was white with rage, aiming my thoughts appropriately at myself. how the hell did i manage to do that and not notice. and finish the entire damn mitten without stopping to realize that i might be making a huge, painful mistake. it's like driving hours (in my case, about 15 hours) out of your way, only to realize that you have to drive right back again AND get to your destination.

I'm an idiot.
