Fixing sweater on woman?

[LookingUp]

I am trying to figure the best way to fix the textured lines of the sweater on this photo attached. I think the healing tool would tend to blur the sweater. The clone tool would make for a better restoration but it's very difficult to maintain the same texture and line. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should correct the texture of a sweater?
Thanks

If you have CS5, content aware fill can work wonders. This is a partial fix... didn't go too far with it.... about 8 minutes worth.

My version before posting it to the reply looks darker and better.... somehow
when it ends up in my reply it has slightly lightened the middle tones.

By the way can someone tell me where is the Content Fill tool. I have cs5 but have yet to explore further.



Many thanks

I took a selection from the left side and flipped it horizontal warped it into shape then added a mask to blend it added a new layer painted in the lines at the top warped and reduced opacity to blend layer about 5 minutes.

Sergio the content aware is located in the fill dialog box if you make a selection such as in the sky you can fill with content aware. it is also located on the spot healing brush just tick the radio button for content aware.
