It is going to be so beautiful when it is finished. I really like the twisted edging.

But you're doing the right thing. Good for you for hanging in there. It's going to be worth it in the end. Ack, sorry you had to rip! But you’re doing the right thing.

Good thing you like the yarn, and that it reknits so well! I'd have thrown the thing out a window by now, but I'm definitely not known for patience when it comes to my knitting. Heh.

I've always found the saying,, "Third time's the charm" to be true, I feel good about your Tulip coming out well this time. Is there no fastener acounted for in the pattern for the front that sits inside the sweater? Or is there a tie attached that runs through the seam? I worry about snaps and Velcro, too. Velcro would pill the yarn arround it, and a snap needs both sides pressed into fabric, which would seem like one side would show through the front of the sweater. What about a ribbon sewed to the inside seam and the inside front, which you could tie together to hold it in place?

Snaps tend to pull in awkward ways, in my experience. I'd give ties a try, myself. I haven't tried this, but you could always go for ties that attach to multiple places on each piece, if you want to hold a larger area together. I don't know how to explain this without a diagram, but to get the idea, think about how lacing on a garment works. Snip the laces down the center, then replace the many places where they meet with one tie in the center; each side of the tie attaches to all the "laces" which each attach to the attachment points. One caution with this method: you do need to be careful to attach the "lace" parts at the appropriate length so that the tie doesn't pull on different attachment points differentially. (It could make puckers.) I’d avoid velcro, because that’s just asking for snags. Snaps tend to pull in awkward ways, in my experience. I’d give ties a try, myself.
