self,

Dear Self,

I know, I know.

You are terrible at staying with one project at a time.

See, you just got yarn to make that thing for your brother (Edward and Alphonse Elric) for which he's paying you for, too, by the way.

But all you really wanna do is make that new Emmaline pattern in the new Knitty, right?

I know, I know.

You're even looking up the yarn to make it with.

And you're right- Comfy bulky KnitPicks yarn is probably perfect, seeing as it's cotton and acrylic and it's a summer shirt and it's a pretty good price for yarn.

BUT SELF, PLEASE.

THINK ABOUT THIS.

If you make those two amis for your brother- you will then have the money to buy the yarn! Good God, girl. Please. Do the damn cute things and then make the friggin' shirt.

And yes, be excited, it's your first garment. :D

So, please. Be patient. Make Edward and Alphonse, get money, buy yarn. Make the shirt.

--Love,

SELF.
