I’d put this project aside while I indulged my knitting obsession for a few months. And to be honest, I was finding the whole thing a bit of a struggle. It’s a lot of stitching!

My original approach was to stitch one colour at a time (cross country), I then changed to a small subset of colours, but was eventually kind of bored by that too.

When I picked the project back up a couple of weeks ago, I decided to stitch whatever colour I’m feeling – a chunk here, a chunk there – at random, without any great plan. A more vibes-based approach. This is much more satisfying.

To set myself up for success with this “do what you feel” approach I made stickers of the symbols for all the colours and moved the skeins into larger plastic bags than those pictured. Much easier to access and grab skeins at random.

There’s still a very, very long journey, but hopefully a little less difficult!
