The decreasing rows on Lavender Twist are going much…. much… slower than the cabling rows. I blame this on them being wacky. Unlike the cabling rows, which have a symmetry to them, each row of the decreasing rows requires constant vigilance as I work my way across. In fact, I had to set down the knitting for a moment last night to hand out candy* and when I came back, I had no idea where I was and could not figure it out without going back to the beginning of the round and counting stitches. On the cabling rows, this would have been unnecessary because of aforementioned symmetry.

I plan on buckling down and, hopefully, finishing the hat tonight. This should be made easier by the fact that I have a paper due on Saturday that I am avoiding.
