Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I've been working on a 5' by 5' project for quite some time and I sure don't want to start over. But I'm really struggling... I've tried different yarn companies and have varied my technique, but I'm still getting frayed ends on my yarn... doesn't happen every time, but enough that I feel like I get five steps forward then have to replace two then five forward, replace two. I don't know how anyone would ever actually be able to walk on this if it frays before it even goes near the ground.

any advice?
thanks!
