No words.
I pulled out my Rogue sweater for the first time in about two months or so. I am simply beside myself. Devastated.
I found a HOLE in the front of it and two more places where it’s about to wear through completely.
I have no idea what caused it. It looks like the yarn simply disintegrated in those spots. There are no signs of moths or other bugs that might have caused this. I could even reason that maybe something burned it, but it was tucked underneath things and you couldn’t see it where it was at all. I know it can be fixed, but I’m honestly not sure if I can fix it. This is my first sweater. I’m completely heart broken about it :o(
See for yourself:
I finished a pair of socks last Monday (Jan 14th), but I can’t even bring myself to blog about that right now. (Heck, it took enough energy to come home from work, find this awfulness, and then blog about it.)

That utterly and completely sucks.
Maybe this can help? http://www.knitty.com/issuespring06/FEATrepairs101.html
That article from Knitty looks really helpful. I have the left over yarn in my stash when you’re up to attempting the repair. Just let me know when you want me to bring it to you.
