Let me explain.
You pick an adventure/project, say a shawl, hopefully something that is a little challenging, but something within your experience and ability. You gather your equipment- yarn, needles, row counter. If you are a cautious person you carefully read the map and look for places that might give you problems, maybe make a swatch.
You dive in, cast on, and go boldly forward, the further you go the more you are committed, at any moment one false step might cause much frustration, a careless interpretation of the map, can cause hours of wasted time.
It can take several days or perhaps weeks for any noticeable progress has been achieved. But then almost before you know it you are on the home stretch and next thing your know you are blocking your reward, and digging through more projects, more challenging than the last.
The one I picked up after I finished this last one is a bit like a journey into the heart of the amazon on the basis of a sketch, it's going to be great.
