I know that feeling of relief as well, I thought I had lost my grade book yesterday and had panicky ‘i’m so fired’ dreams and it was on the floor of my office when I unlocked it this morning.

So glad we both had happy outcomes! But I agree with the others, you need an on-deck pair to pinch hit in an emergency…

I’m so glad you found your mittens! I would go for another pair. You can never have to many.:)

Man, I think I felt MY heart lurch when you rediscovered those mittens at the end of the post.

I think I know why you need a second pair, and the reason is not decadence or choosiness– it is to leave one pair at work. Especially, ESPECIALLY if you take public transportation or work the occasional late night, you’re going to find sometimes that it’s a little colder than you bargained for. If you skipped the mittens on the way out, you’ll have a pair waiting to go home with you.

I bike to work, so I keep a Calorimetry in the office to substitute for the Coif I keep at home. It’s been *extremely* useful in the last couple of weeks.

You should totally make new mittens! that’s awesome that you didn’t really lose your mitten but should you ever lose one for real someday, a second pair would come in very handy!

I hardly think two pairs of mittens is excessive. It’ll be nice to have options in the morning! And don’t give the manly mitts away unless you really want to — you never know what your next coat will look like.

I think the universe is telling you that you DO, in fact, need two pairs of mittens. :)

Glad you found it…I still say knit another pair. They’re great fun to knit (and I like pair of colors in the second photo)

More mittens! I used to have a basked full of mittens that I cranked out one winter, but they’ve all disappeared somewhere between three different cities. Anyway, I recommend keeping two pairs around in case something like this happens again.

More mittens! I love the blue/brown color combo!
I’m glad you found your little lost mitten, but who wouldn’t want a new pair of mittens?

Great post! you had me in a lurch! I was hoping it would be at your apt! :) Glad it was.
Why not – be decadent and make another pair of mittens!
