Sisterlocks Journey: I Did My Own Re-Tie

It took a week, but I did it. I completed my first re-tie on my own. I literally don't know how I started, but once I did, I knew I had to finish. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Definitely take your time if you do this.
I used yard needles, but there are dozens of interlocking tools. Ive seen people use crochet hooks too. Again, I took my time and I made sure not to combine my locks for real.
Will you ever do your own re-tightening?
