Worked a motif on the capybara.

I had started Alphi's second boot (and wrote up the pattern for it) a few days ago, but I didn't finish it. I potentially have ADHD which means I am one of those people who thinks tasks are finished early and can't do the "cleaning up" part, so when I stopped knitting on it, I just dropped it on my bed and moved it around from bed to chair back to bed for a few days. Two of the DPNs have since fallen out from the moving, and I am cross. Thinking of pulling it out (I hadn't gotten far) and starting his white tunic instead.

So, I'm sitting here mentally knitting in my head, trying to figure out the tunic. I may need to do +shudders+ a BOX PLEAT. But I'm not sure yet - the promotional art sorta makes it look less like a pleat and more like three separate pieces that are sewn together? So I might do that instead.... yeah, I'm probably being ridiculous, converting a "sewn" item to knitting, but it wouldn't be the first time I did it.

Gotta put laundry in dryer now, and then I will do some more thinking... and maybe even some knitting, we'll see.
