This is my first project with the real deal Shetland. I love, love, love the knitted fabric (just plain stocking for a sweater vest for DH) coming off the needles. I finished the back, picked up shoulder stitches to start the front and am part way down the upper front increasing at each neck edge for the V-neck.
Then I noticed my stitch count was off.
Now I know that everything that makes the fabric look so wonderful also makes it almost impossible to read your knitting. I've been tinking - painfully - one row at a time - trying to find the missed increase. I'm beginning to think it would be easier to just rip back to the shoulder and start again.
It's going to be so worth it when it's done. I made his first using Palette from KnitPicks. It's a nice looking vest and this one is going to be a true heirloom.
