I Will Defeat Thee Double Knitting

It's been slow going so far with turning the Ramona Cowl into a double knit cowl. I've been having a hard time remembering to read every other chart row backwards and with opposite colors. At my current pace I'm finishing one row with 2 repeats of the chart every 20 minutes with plenty of mistakes and re-reads of the chart. That means this cowl will take me roughly forever and I really think I have better things to do. The only solution I can think of is to re-chart the whole thing on graph paper. Not pleasant, but necessary.
