Captive Inbound Angry

Today I attempted the captive inbound round for about an hour. I want that hour of my life back.

I have several pieces of jewelry and the one I haven’t tried to mimic yet was the inverted round. I haven’t ordered smaller rings yet and trial and error revealed that 18 1/4 rings are too large to hold the weave properly.

Then I discovered the captive inbound round. It’s the same weave but rings are trapped in the middle. It should work and would help the rings I have hold the weave.

‘These tutorials look very simple. I should be able to do that.’  Remember the difference between simple and easy? Tutorials make it look simple. Tutorials lie like crooked politicians.

I was a phenomenal display of suck. I got to the point where the damn ring was trapped and then it came loose. At this point I threw everything down, made a noise that startled my dogs, and walked away. I’m currently fighting the urge to throw everything across the room including the hundreds of little jump rings I’d have to pick up. The 100+ pick up is not an effective deterrent.

Remember the blog devote to how I dislike the European 4-in-1? I like 4-in-1 better than captive inbound round. A lot. 

Seriously debating if I ever want to try to get back on this horse or just send him to that special farm upstate where all the ‘missing’ goldfish and hamsters go.
