Seed Stitch and Me are learning to be friends!

I've always felt that seed stitch is soooo tedeous. As a matter of fact, I still do. This project has been a reminder as to why I shy away from using seed stitch-- it's so time consuming. I'm only 2 inches into the body of Le Slouche and I've been knitting a bit each night since Monday. Granted I get bored of after a few round of seed stitch and put the project down but still ;-) I'm an average speed knitter, but this stitch pattern is holding me back from finishing my project before the weather gets too warm to allow me to wear it! Grrrr..
