Diamond patterned pullover

I recently finished this pullover which is based on the Losange pattern. I really liked the diamond pattern on the front, but my yarn is a finer gauge. I used Rowan superfine merino DK weight and the color is really a light green. For some reason, it came out white in the photo, and I was just feeling too lazy to adjust the color or keep trying to take a better photo.:) I used a standard raglan topdown sweater pattern sizing that I've knit many times before, although I made it with a bit more ease to avoid distorting the diamond pattern. It's cold these days, so I'm wearing it over a thin knit top.

For some reason, this sweater took way too long to knit. I think that's partly because I sort of got bored knitting it. However, I'm pretty happy with it now that it's done and I think it will get some wear this wiinter.
