Problem: Article: The type of rope you work with does not matter, but since you will be handling it a lot, it might be a good idea to work with something soft so that your fingers don't feel sore by the end. Macramé or 100% rope would work best, however. You will be changing your floss often, so it does not matter how long it is. You can make it as long or as short as you want, so long as you can work without it getting tangled. Something around 24 inches (60.96) would be ideal, however. You can use the same color of embroidery floss throughout the project, or you can use different colors to create a more interesting looking basket. Take your rope, and fold the end under itself. Twist the rope into a spiral until you have a 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) wide disk. This will be the foundation for your basket. Push the needle through the side of your coiled disk, and pull it out the other side. Tug at the thread until the knot bumps up against the disk. Turn the disk 90 degrees, and push the needle back through the disk, forming an X. This will hold the foundation of your basket together. Bring your needle across two coils, then push it down through the space between them. Pull the needle out through the back of your work, and bring it back up to the top of your disk. Bring your needle across one coil. Bring it just past the gap between the two coils, and push it through the edge of the second coil. Pull the needle out through the back of your disk, and bring it back to the top of your work. Work in a spiral around the disk. The stitches can be as close together or as far apart as you want them to be. Something around ¼ to ½-inch (0.64 to 1.27-centimeter) would be ideal, however.  When you run out of floss, push the needle under the stitch, through a coil, and knot the floss to the previous stitch. Pass the needle and floss through a few stitches, then cut the floss. To start a new thread: thread your needle and tie a knot at the end of the floss. Pass it through the same stitches, but going forward this time. When you are back where you left off, continue sewing, the same as before. Previously, you held the rope against the side edge of the disk. Now, move the rope so that it is on the top edge of the disk. Wrap the thread around both coils: the top one that you are feeding onto your basket, and the one attached to the disk. Do this for one row. Add an element of design to your basket by wrapping the floss around the rope a few times to create a colored band. These bands can be as thick as you want them to be. Be sure to go back and sew the coils together as you normally would, however. Wrap your thread over two coils, then over one coil and through the coil just beneath it. If you need to, place a large bowl inside the basket while you build up the walls. This will help you shape the basket. Find the spot where you first started building up the wall of your basket. Continue sewing your basket until you reach that spot, then cut the rope. Wrap the embroidery thread around the end of the rope tightly until you have a colored band that is about ½ to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.54 centimeters) thick. This will not only add an element of design to your basket, but it will also keep the rope from fraying. Sew the end of the rope to the basket using the same technique as you did for the body of the basket. Wrap your floss around the top of your rope, and then push the needle under the coil just beneath it. Go back over the top of your rope, then through the coil below it. Tie the floss to the stitch next to it, then push the needle between two coils of rope, hiding the floss between them. Cut the floss, and tuck the end into the ropes.
Summary: Choose your rope. Thread some embroidery floss onto a sharp tapestry needle and tie a knot in the end. Roll the rope into a small, coin-sized disk. Pass the needle and thread through the center of the disk to form an X. Make your first stitch starting at the top of your disk. Make your second stitch. Keep repeating your first and second stitches until your basket is the width you want it to be. Start building up the sides. Continue building the sides of your basket using the two stitches from before. Cut and bind off your rope. Finish the basket.

Problem: Article: Add up your time and cost estimates, then review the assigned tasks. You may see that the project is too big and complicated to complete in time and under budget, or you may not have enough people. You'll need to make changes to complete the project. For example, you may only have a few weeks left to finish your video game. You'll need to finish the game, test it, and fix the bugs by hiring more people or delaying the release date. If you realize that you'll need more time to finish the project, tell the person who assigned the project. They may be willing to extend the deadline. It's important you ask right away so your team can adjust no matter what happens. Remember that an extended deadline means the project costs more time and money. If this affects your project, make sure you factor it in. You may need to hurry to meet the deadline, or the project may still have unassigned tasks to fill. Ask the project organizer for help or find people who can take on some of the tasks. In a business setting, more workers means the project costs more to complete. Make sure you are able to increase the budget to compensate. Sometimes your initial vision of the project isn't possible. Cut out some of the steps to focus on the project's important features. This will help you meet any budget or deadline concerns. For instance, video game developers often have to cut features that are too costly or can't be finished before the game's release date. Think about what's most likely to go wrong during the project. To plan for these, write down the ways you'll prevent these issues and deal with them if they arise. For example, you might worry that the client will change the project at the last minute. To compensate, resolve to keep documentation of the work and provide frequent updates to the client.
Summary: Review the project's budget and deadline. Move the deadline back if you can't finish the project in time. Bring in more people if the project needs to be completed faster. Eliminate some of the steps to complete the project faster. Decide on ways to fix worst case scenarios.

Problem: Article: Until you transfer your chocolates to its decorative or shipping container, make them cold for as long as possible. After you've packed your chocolates, put them back in the fridge until you either deliver or ship them. While in the fridge or freezer, keep your chocolates in an airtight container. Sandwich bags with a zipper are ideal. When exposed to sunlight, chocolate melts quickly. If you've taken your chocolates out of the fridge, keep them in a cool place away from bright lights and heat. Put a cold pack in the freezer and, when it's cold, slip it in your chocolate's container or shipping box. To protect your chocolates from moisture, place it in a zipper sandwich bag before you place it in the package.  Don't use ice packs to cool your chocolates, as these melt and can ruin their packaging. To keep your chocolates cold while shipping them, you can leave the gel pack in the box. Dry ice keeps chocolate cold for longer but can irritate your skin. Put on gloves and goggles, and place your chocolates in a sealed plastic container before packing it. Ask your local shipping store how much dry ice you can put in a package, then place it alongside the chocolates and bubble wrap. If you pack your chocolates with dry ice, you must write "Contains Dry Ice" on the package.
Summary:
Leave your chocolates in the fridge or freezer until you pack them. Keep your package out of direct sunlight until you ship or deliver it. Use gel cold packs to chill the chocolates. Try dry ice as an alternative to cold packs if you're shipping your chocolates.
