Vamp Vest

Will it ever be finished?
Working on this sweater vest for the Big Girl and I am so nearly done it it crazy that I can't buckle down and finish.

Seriously there are probably less than 500 stitches left, a couple of hours work at the most and I can't get buckled down.

Then there's the question of whether the thing is so awesome that it's worth it to write up a pattern.

There's another sweater I'm working on that could also be finished in no time-if I'd just get to it. That one I have to think for though so I'm putting it off for just a little bit longer.

I'm not feeling very thinkerish today.

My eyes are on soft focus

My head is listing leftwards

Fingers drifting as they please

Thoughts are here and gone

Time to sleep

but not just yet I think

When your face does that frowny thing before your brain has had time to tell you what it thinks and why, you already know the answer.
