One Pair of Katniss Mitts Finished: IF ....!

Ok, so  I finished a pair of Mocking-Jay Mitts for DD#2 the day before the Movie Opening on March 23!  Yeah!  I'm the Greatest Mom Ever....   "Um, but Mom?  These kindof seem a little wierd?  Like something's wrong here."
Right.  So I knit two mitts exactly alike.  That is the goal when knitting a Pair of something, isn't it?
"Well, yeah, but my hands aren't exactly alike.  Nobody's are." 
Well, I know that most people's hands are a little different from each other, that's not unusual.
"But MO-OM!  Look at this!" 
And that's when she holds up both arms and I realize that I have indeed made both mitts EXACTLY ALIKE.  Not MIRROR IMAGES like they're supposed to be.  Exactly Alike.  Both are for the Left Hand.

So, I immediately cast on to make two Right Hand Mitts that will match the Two Lefts.  But there's no way to get them done in time for the movie.  My DD#2, true to her usual behavior, comes up with the wonderful idea to share with her BFF (she has several BFFs).  They will each wear One Mitt to the movie.

Gotta love it.
