But I already promised the author I will try to be more true to the modus operandi next time
The author highly welcomes to see variations of the modus operandi

Please note that at point 3.1, you need some quality skewers, low cost one eat your string and you can't really split them to clamp the needle at point 3.8.
I always split the sticks before starting to weave. I usually break one or two sticks either way. When I can't split the sticks, I twine slightly looser, so I can push the sticks easier out with the needle. Sometimes it's possible to punch the needle in the end of the sticks nevertheless and pull them through.
Eating the string: Not such an issue with linnen/flax/hemp, but I guess you know that. Shorter sticks also help.
I'm looking forward to your pictures!
