Pattern: Demi from Rowan's Vintage Knits
Yarn: Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool
Needles: US6, US7, US8
Notes: Even after all the hassle and drama surrounding this project, it turns out I made exactly zero modifications to the pattern. Wait, I think I added five extra rows to the hem. Yeah, that's about it. Kind of anticlimactic, I know--I should really have more to say after taking so long to finish this. Sorry; I think I'm just all Demi'd out at the moment.
Oh! One last thing: I really, really love this sweater.

I really really love your boots! And Demi of course - gorgeous sweater, & it fits so well with no modifications!
Beautiful! The sweater and boots are pretty fresh.
oh wait listen...is that your phone ringing? It must be Interweave Knits asking you to be on their next cover issue!
It is so amazing. I love it in the classic cream.
Wow that came out GRRRREAT!!! You should be proud!
absolutely gorgeous! what a wonderful accomplishment.
That is just a marvelously knit sweater. Thanks for sharing it and no need to apologize. It turned out well worth waiting to see.
Beautiful.
Fabulous. Perfect classic colour for it, and it's wonderful with the dark slim jeans and those great boots.
Wow, that sweater looks so good I had to add the book to my Amazon wish list. Nicely done! :)
I fear I have become something of a broken record on your blog. But truly, it's wonderful! I've had this pattern in my queue for a very long time, and seeing your beautiful version makes me want to get clicking on it soon. Congratulations Parikha, it's just perfect :)
Beautiful! Love the color.
Love it! I bought the book to make this jumper, I really should get on to it.
It is absolutely gorgeous ! And these photos really make me wish it was fall already *sigh*
that is AWESOME!!!!! how did you like using the Fishermans Wool? Soft? Do you need to wear something under it? Demi is high on my list, and I have seen a few made from this wool, and it is a great economical choice. It came out AMAZING!
stunning -- and you look beautiful in it. love those buttons!

truly stunning. i can't believe yo wore all that for the photo shoot! I was taking pics for my Olympic sweater last Saturday and was DYING due to the heat; I could never have looked so composed.
What a beautiful sweater and what a beautiful demonstration of Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool -- I've been intrigued by it since I first saw it down in Maryland! I've also been intrigued by Demi for a long time. Kismet?
Really, Fisherman's wool? What did you think? Wow! I love this sweater and the photos. Tell H he did really really good!
wow, your demi is gorgeous! And great photos, too. I can't believe you took them all yourself!
OK I am going to knit this next. It's gorgeous, and looks FABulous with the boots.
Gorgeous, per usual! I must express surprise at your slumming with LB. ;)

Allow me to be completely redundant and say that it's absolutely beautiful, as are you. :-)

I really really love that sweater too ;D
Wow...I really love this sweater but I really love your version of it! Going to have to queue it now... :-)
That is one gorgeous knit. I've seen many Demi knits over the last 2 years, but this is the one that inspires me to add it to my ever growing list of projects. Now I remember why I bought Vintage Knits!
Congratulations on a perfect outcome!
gorgeous parikha!! i really do love it. it's funny because I've always envision it in brown but now I *love* your cream version!!
Absolutely beautiful! The sweater looks good, too!
much love for this sweater
it looks fantastic on you!
Beautiful!
Wow...I am so jealous of the camera!!
Great sweater
I really, really love this sweater, too. It's gorgeous in off-white. I predict this one will be treasured by multiple generations, because it's never going out of style.
Oh my gosh, it looks great!!
Beautiful work.
This just got a big *bump* in my queue.
it is a beautiful knit and quite lovely photos
Just saw the gallery, & the Demi just looks fabulous in every shot. You did an amazing job on it, & looks like it was worth the effort! Can't wait to see what your next project will be.
You look perfectly ready for fall! (Which, around here, seems to have come flying in). Awesome job on the sweater.
WOWIE WOW WOW!
I really really love this sweater too!!!!!
I've seen this sweater in the book but you have done a far better job. Now I'm inspired to make one my self.
It's absolutely beautiful! Great job!
Oh, how gorgeous! You model so beautifully. I'm camera-shy and just don't know how...
I'm adding another set of "gorgeous" and "inspiring" exclamations to the host. Bravo!
This is just stunning. You did an amazing job. I love it!
Oh, Parikha, it's beautiful! The natural shade you chose really shows off the cables beautifully. It's such a classic sweater, you can wear it forever. Love it with skinny jeans and boots. Beautiful!!!
All I can say is WOW! Very good, makes me want to try something other than the simple scarves that I do!
you're gorgeous! thinking of trying a rowan pattern.
Gorgeous; this is a perfect knit. Love your FO shots, too - they look professional!
It looks fantastic on you!
And it's so exciting to see a "Demi twin"...I knit mine in Fisherman's Wool, as well!
GORGEOUS! stunning, really.
Ooohh pretty! It looks great on you!
I can tell by the smile on your face that you absolutely love the sweater! It's a great pattern, and I think your choice of fisherman's wool in that creamy color is appropriate.
Wow.
Demi goes on my to-do list as of now!
