Update Starsky Jr

Lately I've been starting projects and then not finishing them. I think I have 3 WIP's on the needles and...oh make that 4 on the needles and probably 2-100 projects in my queue. I have just started working on DD's Starsky Jr again. I have finished what would equate to a vest so far and am currently working on the sleeves. I am doing both at the same time so that they are the same length but sometimes I get confused so I wonder if they really will end up the same length or perhaps maybe a row or two off. Here's hoping. This will be my first project that I will have to block and I read on Knitty's website that you shouldn't use heat with acrylic. I thought I'd go cheap and use Bernat softee chunky for the cardi. I guess we'll see if it really turns out cheaper than what I could buy at the store. I think right now I have only used and will probably only use about 4 skeins of yarn for this project. I don't know what possessed me to think that I needed 7 and yet I bought 8. I guess I can make a few other things with the excess yarn...perhaps another sweater. I have contemplated making the ballet top in Loop-D-Loop but I haven't looked at it yet. I think for right now I better stick to the project at hand or else DD will have grown too much or will no longer need the sweater because she has graduated college. Why is it sometimes so hard to finish what we start? I guess it really is the journey and not the destination. Weird...I would have thought otherwise.
