In addition to that problem, I certainly have inconsistent tension. I tend to keep splitting this yarn or snagging it when I am trying to pull through multiple loops, so I then try to make the stitches a little looser to avoid that problem and end up with the bigger problem....those uneven ends. I think me and this Homespun Yarn are not a good mix.
To be honest, I was getting so discouraged, I was ready to toss the whole project, but now I think I will try once more. Your idea re the safety pin sounds like it will help. Now if I can just stay consistent with the tension, I may accomplish this yet! If not, my cat seems to enjoy the yarn, I'll leave it uneven and call it a cat blanket!
Thanks again
