The upside of this approach is that I didn't get bored, and I could swap out what I was working based on whether or not I needed my eyes for any given scene. In fact, I may or may not have just listened to most of Chamber of Secrets... I can't crochet without looking, the way I can with knitting stockinette.
The downside, of course, is that I didn't make nearly as much progress on any one thing as I would have if I'd focused.
On the other hand, while some of the things I've been working on do have deadlines, they are all arbitrary, game-based deadlines. The shawl pictured above, for example, is my Order Mission in the House Cup. It needs to be done by November 18th, or I don't get my internet points.
I'm also working on a Boxy sweater for my OWL. Deadline on this one is the end of November. (I'm farther along than this picture shows. Imagine it just like this, only more so.) So far, even with my scattershot approach, I'm in no particular danger of missing either deadline.
I seriously considered watching more Harry Potter today, but I ended up deciding that my body wasn't ready for the emotional roller coaster of movies 5, 6, 7, and 7.5. Maybe next weekend.
Who knows, maybe by next weekend I will have actually finished something. Though that might require me to hold onto it for more than ten minutes at any given time.
So maybe don't hold hold your breath.
