Diamond Pullover
This sweater falls into the sweet spot on the Venn diagram between things I want to wear on a boat and things that remind me of my fashion paper dolls. I found it in a Google Image search while I was looking for some vintage knitting inspiration and I think I did a reasonable job…

Currant Sweater
