You would think that answering a series of questions regarding your knitting of the swatches would be pretty easy. Basically Question #4 asks you to look at a couple of swatches and tell them whether you like the bumpy or the smooth side better in the cast-on and what you might want to do about those differences in a personal project. Pffttt.....except the cast-on edge of the two swatches I'm looking at aren't looking different because I didn't do them as instructed! As I said, just shoot me now - I get to do this swatch over (again) because I don't think they are going to buy into "let's pretend I really did it right". I'm pretty sure they are going to want to see it done correctly.
And the question about bumpy and smooth, well heck the more I dug into the nature of this cast-on the more complex the answer. Two hours later I know a whole lot more about this particular cast on and what options I have for manipulating bumpy and smooth cast-on edges. Amazing what you can learn.
Now if I could just get the magic knitting fairy to show up and leave a whole new swatch under my pillow tonight that would be wonderful - hey, it could happen.
