I'm actually a *little* bit surprised (and slightly more annoyed) by how long it's taken me to figure out how I'm supposed to be handling everything up to the base of the collar. And had a few mistakes to iron out, as well. But it seems that I've got everything that I've learned so far accounted for, so in theory all I need to do is follow my charts and just keep going.

Also, when I'd frogged back, I'd been under the impression that I needed to remove four pairs of rows, assuming that I'd been at the 12th row-pair in my chart. Well, counting stitches in the row proved that I'd somehow frogged back to the *7th* row in the chart, which it turns out is where I'd *actually* needed to be. Very lucky outcome!

If you've seen my complaints about my green scarf and the skeins I'd wound myself not twisting enough to avoid it completely untwisting on me, you won't be surprised to hear that it turns out I'm having the *exact same* issue with *this* yarn. Despite having wound this stuff into a ball, instead of a cake. I'll need to watch far more carefully how it works up this time around.

I'm feeling pretty good about the next steps, and am desperately hoping I don't run into yet *more* issues. Fingers crossed!

Slow and steady gets there in the end, at least.
