Fun? Did I Say Knitting This Would be Fun?

I cast on for the spectrum scarf, which was a long, tedious process since it's a provisional cast on. Then I proceeded to the setup row, which was a long, tedious process because it involved many, many short rows, which meant much turning while working on two different circular needles, which were determined to get tangled up with each other, the yarn holding the provisional stitches, and the two strands of working yarn. But I persevered and was finally able to settle down and knit the scarf, which is a long, tedious process because you have to do a Russian join at the end of every other row, which prevents you from getting any real momentum going. It looks like this after two repeats of the color sequence. Only ten more to go!

It's very pretty but I can understand why no one on Ravelry has knit this thing.
