I’ve been lurking on knitting blogs for the last few months. Trying to compensate for my loss of knitting companions due to a move. Anyway, been thinking I should come out of the closet and your ex-boyfriend’s sweater apparently created the impetus I needed. I’m thinking the holes are due to moths.

There .. I’ve done it. I’m sure I’ll be back. k.

Beautiful Shetland wool. Soon (a year or two) after I made it he brought it back to me in Colorado and it was full of holes, just like the ones in your photos, Jennie. I couldn't figure it out and it's plagued me ever since. But several days ago I had a sudden revelation that the holes were moth holes. That's the only explanation other than defective yarn and I would have noticed that while I was knitting. My guess is that your ex's sweater has suffered moth attacks.

It's most likely moths! Cedar chips, or lavender sachets should help. I’m with Kathy and Deborah. It’s most likely moths! Cedar chips, or lavender sachets should help.
