I'm a Knitting Dork

Well, I felt like a total knitting dork last night when I realized, 3/4 way through the 2nd mitten on my daughter Caroline's Octopus Mittens from the 60 Quick Knits book, that I had knit two LEFT mittens. I forgot that the thumb is supposed to go on the other side for right mittens. It's not like the book didn't provide a right mitten chart, I just forgot to look at it. I suppose my only trace of an excuse might me I'm used to knitting socks, which are the same for each foot, so naturally I forgot that hands are different. That and the fact that I haven't knit a whole lot mittens in my life, so even though I've been knitting for almost six years, I'm still learning. I'll post a picture of them when I'm done.
