Infuriating ragefest time! I was about an inch into the project before I realized that I somehow twisted the stitches… After countless double-checks and triple-checks, and after casting on two times due to the number of stitches required, I am this close to completely skipping this project! So frustrating!!!

Updates galore! The pattern is coming together very easy now. The major change was casting on using circular needles at least 36” around. (I used 29”, originally.) Considering the number of stitches to cast on, and you can cast on loosely, that was far better than the scrunched up mess I started with.
