Have you ever not liked a finished project!

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 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 am so tempted to rip out all the project. I liked the working of the project but I don't like the finished feel of the project. It is just to heavy and stiff. I just can't decide if it is worth ripping the project apart to save the yarn.

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.

I, too, have ripped out many things. In fact, a lot of times I start projects and get several inches and decide I do not like the look of it, or the feel of it. So, I try another pattern, or another yarn with that pattern. One thing that I have found is if the pattern just seems too heavy, or too thick, use a larger size of hook. This defintely changes to results, especially with thick yarn.

As far as using lefotver yarns, I recently used between 13 and 18 different yarns and made a poncho. The more different the yarn and the more different the texture, the prettier it became. It is absolutely gorgeous. And, had enough to make a hat to match it. Can't wait to wear it next winter. Happy crocheting!

I love it when something just comes together like that. Good going.
