Wish I had suggestions, but I think P. can help you for sure. I think it looks better than you do, but I understand the need to frog when you’re not happy.

But you are like me, and will not settle for things looking even just ever so slightly odd! I can't believe you are using a 6 needle! The stitches look so much smaller on the new knitting than on the original sweater. I was going to suggest going up a size on the needles, but clearly, that's not going to help!

The problem with that thought is that it would have to be sort of long to achieve your goals. Also, you are picking up the stitches untwisted...as it looks like your getting a horizontal "seam" right at the join and I can't think why that would be.
