You Really Can't Knit Just One (Pair)

So, when I set out to knit my co-worker a pair of fingerless mitts (the red ones, a couple of posts ago) , I'd forgotten something very important. They're fast. They knit up quickly and give me that tangy little buzz of finishing something. They shamelessly pander to every goal-oriented gene in my body. What does this mean? Well, that they're approximately as addictive as crack. Witness:
fingerless mits  child size

And:
fingerless mitts

And:
fingerless mitts

And:
fingerless mitts

But! I am strong willed. I am In Charge Of My Knitting. I can stop any time I want to. See:

Mittens! (Knit flat, two at a time.)

Okay, so maybe I'm still all about the instant gratification.

  1. Not to sound like I have FO envy or anything (which I totally do), but how are those socks coming along? Such pretty yarn and it would be a shame for them to become UFOs when you're so close! (yep, total FO envy here. sigh.)
