2007-03: Vogue Diamond Pullover reprise
"So nice, I knit it twice" (said with tongue planted firmly in cheek).
This
is now this.

Yarn: Schachenmayr Micro Color, Color = Nassau Beach,
13 oz/365 gm
Needles: Denise US#7 US#6
Pattern: #10 Diamond Pullover,
Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2004
Size: Small Smaller
Almost 2-1/2 years after finishing the sweater, the VK Diamond Pullover is finished. Again.
This time the fit is much better, although I wish it was a little longer, like by one row of diamonds. But it's fine and I've already worn it in public a few times (and to Stitches West!), which is a few times more than I wore the first incarnation.
Something unexpected happened when I reknit the sleeves. I ran out of yarn. Well, that's not completely true. I still had butterflies of extra yarn from each of the diagonals of diamonds, but I ran out of or I misplaced some of the sleeve yarn. Luckily I had the leftover balls of yarn from the first knit in my stash and used what I needed to finish.
I was wondering if I should label this as a FO for 2007, and decided that I should. Afterall, I did remake the sweater and now it's wearable. I'd say that's a finished object, wouldn't you?

I would absolutely call it a FO! And much nicer the second time around!

It looks like a totally different garment! And it's even more flattering in real life.
It was nice to see you again on Wednesday. Thanks for the spinning and hemp yarn advice!

Yup. Photo confirms what we already knew.. V 2.0 brings out the hotness that V 1.0 kept muffled. Very good decision to reknit this and it sure looks good on ya!
