Admittedly, it doesn't look like much in the picture, but it should not take me all that long to get it finished. That is if I can crank up the courage to do it.While I was deployed, some small flying creatures took up residence in my studio, un-noted by the rest of the family. I came home to find suspicious "munch marks" in yarns, roving and batts.
Would you believe I was not a happy camper?
Industriously, I cleaned up everything. This vest was started in 2004, when I decided to do a number of vests out of this lovely book. And I really like red, so this was one that I didn't change much. Just knitting in one piece to the armholes, I am actually about 10 cm past there. Then my job got in the way for 6 weeks of fun and frolic in Korea. On my return- the m*ths were back and had eaten one ball of yarn for this vest.
I just put it away. And now, without a ball band from the original yarn, I have to figure out which yarn I used and where I put it.
Other option of course is to frog the whole thing, but that seems like a shame. Encouragement is obviously appreciated.

Oh Holly, my thoughts are with you. SO sorry.
Did you get all the little m***s killed?
Dang those wool eatin' little buggers! Good luck!
I just hate those wool munchers!
I hope you can find the yarn so you don't have to frog your nearly completed vest!
I thought I had all the munchers dead. I really did. I have natural products, I have moth balls. And then there is all the wool that I ran through the freezer and microwave.
But I live in Germany, and we have no screens. And the other four people in the house have a tendency to leave open doors and windows ....
I have killed a couple in the last few days. So everything is back baged up and in plastic.
ARGHHH!
