Finishing My Projects

I'm already working on an unfinished project- my Magical Mittens by Knit One, Crochet Too. My MIL gave me the kit as a gift a long time ago, and I followed the directions explicitly. When the first one was finished, it seemed very long and so I set it aside to deal with it later...today, I picked it up and picked the top of the mitten apart, ripped it down and redid it to the proper length. Looks good now and I am nearly finished with the thumb gusset on the second one!
