Steady progress

I’ve completed round 2 with a way to climb out using a split chain and a split ring. It was very fiddly and I never in 6 stitches got a sequence of steps figured out. Perhaps one reason is that I was using just a length of thread to create the split chain. Without a tool, either needle or shuttle, I quickly became confused which way to pull thread, which way to pass thread through gaps, and whether to pull the end through or leave a loop. Also adding to the confusion was the necessity for a join halfway through the split chain. Was it all worth it? I think so. Even if to demonstrate that using the end of a thread rather than thread with a tool (or even ball) is significant in describing steps.

Did I overthink it? YES!!
