    I just finished the cardigan I had to redo, and it came out great. I used the spa yarn and it is easy to work with, however I can tell that it is not going to hold up as well as a better quality yarn like merino wool would. It is starting to fuzz a little. Any ideas on the best yarns to use or where to get them? I am starting a new project using natural fibers and hopefully a better yarn.

    I am still going back and forth with Patons on the ripple vest, and I am determined to work through it.

    I've ripped out projects more than once. Sometimes what I see in my head just doesn't translate to my hook.

    Like everyone else I too have ripped apart a project or 50. All the above sujestions are great. May I also add, that sometimes it's ok to put your project to sleep for a while. Browse through other similar projects and it just might help spark something. As for the feel of the yarn, maybe an undershirt or the like could be used along w/ the project.

    I am a ripper outter. If I don't like the end results, I will not wear to piece. I will start over and find out how to correct or change the pattern to achieve the results I'm looking for. I know it's frustrating and you feel you've wasted your time, but learning how to make the garment the way you want is most important to me.
