The Argosy scarf (previously referred to accidentally as the Argonaut--I think I need a style manual or an editorial board or something), anyway, the Argosy scarf requires a cable cast-on for the new little extensions out to the side. The first couple times I did made them using the backward-loop method. Sure, it's so easy it seems like cheating, but at that point I was struggling with learning the pattern, so it felt justified. Now that I'm 3/4 of the way done with the scarf, I finally looked up how to do the cable cast on. It's easy. I feel silly for waiting so long to do the thing the right way. The little extensions look so much better with the cable cast-on edge!
Maybe I'll just have to knit an Argosy II or Argosy Jr.
P.S. Emily, did you ever find the original malabrigo scarf in the lost and found? Sniff. Sniff.

See, see. A. Knittinghelp.com is awesome. B. Cable cast-on ain't so difficult (and is kinda fun).
Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck finding my scarf. Maybe if I bug security enough, they'll let me rifle through the lost and found.
