How to finish my current knitting project
It made me
feel accomplished 
"I am an easily-distracted knitter so basic scarves can take a few weeks."
How I did it: All I know how to do is the basic knit stitch (and I'm told that the "American" way of doing it is cumbersome). I also use hugeass needles. So that limits me to making kind of gnarly looking scarves, oh well.
I applied my method to some very soft green yarn I've had for 4 years or more. Made a scarf for my boyf 15 stitched wide (on #10 needles I think) and lots of stitches long.
I always forget how to cast off, so I had to learn that over, too.
I didn't take that long if you measured the actual work in minutes. But I spread it out over several weeks.
