Distractionitis

I suffer from a terrible thing called Distractionitis. This terrible disease usually prevents me from finishing one set item without starting at least one new one before it's completion [whether I complete the new one or not is also up for debate]. This has sadly been happening to my lovely, sultana raisin coloured [oooher!] parachute top. Slowly I trudge along, perhaps have to restart a piece, trudge along some more then BOOM! I find something like a reversible winter capelet that captures my eye and promises to be finished quickly with good stamina [something I, apparently, do not have exactly], and gives me a reason to buy that gorgeous Alpaca blend yarn I've been eying.

I truly blame the Distractionitis on the 3 3/4mm needles I'm using. There is something [and everything] about tiny needles that make the work seem to go incredibly slowly. Luckily for me I'm about an inch and a half away from the neckline on the last piece [hallelujah!] and then only have a couple inches to go for shoulders, seaming and a crochet border!

Unluckily for me, my lovely boyfriend Kyle suggested we go to IKEA [Ikea? I feel like IKEA deserves all caps. Whether this is legit. or not I have no idea] today before he heads to a family dinner and I trundle off to a late night staff meeting, so that I can finally get the dresser I've been aching over [and been given early birthday money for] for what seems like centuries [but has truly only been probably about 6 months].

In the meantime I continue to trudge on through 3 3/4mm horrors and sultana loveliness with a very loud purring cat who keeps trying to eat the end of my needle. Oh you.
