Thumbs Up

Monday morning...
Heat rising off the river... spooky, beautiful.

I'm fifteen rows from finishing
another mitt.

Confession:
I've been zipping along... three sets of mitts done,
ALMOST.
But I haven't knitted the thumbs.
It is fussy work:
so few stitches, such a tiny space...

Guess what?
You do the math.
I need to knit 6 thumbs.

I need an old fashioned pep talk.
Get a move on, girl.
Take the needles in hand
and just do it.

And you'll have
three pairs of thumps up
mitts.

It's like evolution AND creation! You can invent the opposable thumb!

Dare I suggest Halloween candy: knit a thumb, eat a milky way. Repeat, as needed.
