This project causes me such neuroses that I actually spend part of my therapy checking in with my therapist about it. She actually follows along with the project to see how I'm doing. Today she suggested (since I was feeling stuck and uninspired) that I go back and retry some of the things I've mentioned that I had some success at to see if I just concentrate on improving one thing how it will go. So I decided to try again to make a ring for my niece and it actually (except for the ends which I didn't put a photo of) came out okay, pretty rounded and even considering I only measured the total length and didn't straighten out the sides except by eye. Two things that I have learned to bring into my next attempt are: The edges need to be rounded off, which I think the project I saw online suggested but I forgot until just now and it is very important to have the correct size object to form the ring around.
