Yarn and Chewing Gum

Ok, so I've been working on a simple stockinette stitch scarf with Noro's Sekku yarn.  The yarn is super gorgeous and I'm loving it.  However, I keep throwing it down in disgust and punish it for my misdeeds.  Here's my problem: I'm stupid.  Honestly, that's the reason.  Anytime I put the darn thing down, the next time I pick it up, I start working the wrong kind of row. I think I'm on a kint, but I'm really on a purl.  And, I know what you're saying... look at how the stitches for the last worked row are laying.  I AM! I SWEAR!  I honestly just mess it up.  Of course, in the interest of full disclosure, it is entirely possible that I am not actually looking at my previous row as well as I could.  Case in point: Today, I was chewing a piece of gum for a few hours at work.  On my way home, I realized that I wasn't chewing gum anymore.  I don't remember what I did with it.  I really don't remember if I threw it out, or if I swallowed it.  Seriously.  I'm legitimately concerned that I have gum hanging out in my gut and I don't know about it.  So, what's the moral of this post?  I really need to pay more attention to what I'm doing with my yarn and my chewing gum.
