Last night I could have:
1) learned how to do short rows in the
fingerless mittens.
2) figured out the cast-on and first 10 rows for the
chevron shadow shawl, which is my self-imposed limit for asking for help, since apparently the instructions are clear until that point[1].
3) on the charity scarf, figured out how to incorporate a different color into the cables, and how to increase the cables in that special Elsebeth Lavold Viking way.
But as you can see by the photograph (and the lack of "learning experience" catagorization), instead I had a lazy day and worked a good deal of the first repeat on the
DNA scarf. I can see the cabling obsession starting anew.
[1] I did try to figure out if the knitted cast-on was the same as the cabled cast-on before falling asleep, and woke up to the vision of different topologic means of wrapping string around sticks, and visualizing whether they were equivalent -- a bad sign, no?
