Trying to make your first Andean-style sling from Roderick Owen's book.
*First attempt*
"God damn it Yarn, stop going everywhere!"
*Second attempt*
"What, why did you do this, I just had a perfect fist-sized amount of chevrons and now you decide to move on me!"
*Twenty minutes later*
"No, stop tangling!"
*Two hours later*
"Stop tangling you bastards!"
*Two minutes later*
"What, But I just fixed you, you bastard!"
And many, many more tangle-fixings later, I finally made it.
Subsequently, It only took me about... maybe 20 or more hours to get one done...
I don't even know how I do it, but somehow I get the occasional stuff-up in my braids... but usually it actually looks decorative, so I'm still happy with my novice-level work.
