Failed first adult sweater

This was an attempt at a sweater from Sarah Dallas' Vintage Knits (Short-sleeved diamond stitched sweater). I misread the instruction and it was increased incorrectly. Give me a break, it was my first attempt at an adult sweater. Couldn't find a graceful way to fix it so I tore the whole thing apart after taking this picture. I might try the sweater again because it's so delicate and elegant but no time soon. I can still feel the scar...
