Artist vs.numbers

I am furious sorry to report that the leather vest is once more being frogged.  This yarn will be so soft by the time I'm finished with it.
Apparently I can't count to 65.  I thought I did but casting off for the armholes revealed a severe stitch deficit in the back of the vest. 
We're back to leather balls and bare needles again.  I shall work as fast as I can to get it done.  Now, I'm determined to make it work.  The challenge is really on!

    If ANYONE can do it, you can! I look forward to seeing it, and I know you will have created something better than you had even set out to.

    Oh, it sounds very frustrating. I know the frustration of having to start over...again! All the best this time, Stephanie.

    Oh too bad! But just think how soft it will be. I think it will be lovely.

    Lindy - funny you should say that - I do shake them out. Never made the connection, though.

    Angie - 3 is usually my lucky number

    Joanna - yes, it's getting really worked. It will be nice - soon.

    Stine, Mimi, Rudee - thanks, I need your confidence.
