"Did I really knit you?" I asked Marina. Was I really capable of something so complicated? Where did my brain go? Was my vision good enough to digest that chart? Was it just five years ago? Scary. I've been working on this so long it's looking worn as a well loved teddy bear.

It took half a day to find the pattern, the yarn and to pick up the rest of the sleeve stitches. I'm ready to go, but haven't had a solid block of time to muster up the required concentration. My knitting devil sits on one shoulder tempting me to turn Marina into a vest. But the angel always wins. So far.

    I have a pair of Latvian mittens that I need to finish, and I think they also hail from about four or five years ago. I wonder if I even remember how to knit them.
    Marina would make a very lovely vest, however.

    On the other hands, vests are so practcial, you can wear them under a blazer/jacket, wear them over a turtleneck, perfect for layering…….(insert evil laugh here).
    But what would you do with all the extra yarn if you only made a vest?
    There’s pros and cons to both.
