My beautiful Plumetis Cardigan…
July 8, 2007 by angelknits
My Plumetis cardigan is done! It’s a pleasure to be a knitting tester for Sylvie. The pattern is easy to follow, it doesn’t take much yarn to make a mid/long sleeves (less than 6 balls each of 100 meters!), it’s knitted in one piece so no sewing is required. The important thing is the lace top makes me feel sexy! It’s a must knit and I just love my plumetis.
I made some modifications (Sylvie, hope this is acceptable from your standards!). Since my arms couldn’t take too much of the k1p1 (suffered from cramps!) so I switched into just st.st. I also made it longer so it fits my body better. Instead of long sleeves, or short sleeves from Sylvie’s pattern, I made it into mid-sleeves. The last but not least, I used bigger buttons and only 4 buttons.
Here’s the back picture:
My mom said the back of the cardigan just looks gorgeous…and I totally agree with her. Thanks Sylvie for letting me test your pattern!
Needles: 5.0mm & 3.5mm
Yarns: Kim from Needful in Purple, 5.5 balls
It’s very nice, perfect on you.
Thats looks great! I love the color and the ribbing on the waist gives you a tiny waistline, love the lace on the back too!
That’s gorgeous
A good fit, lovely mods, and a great colour on you 
I’m almost done with mine too now - just some sewing and the button bands…
Wow, amazing, you are fast, and you can finish this off in just 2 weeks? (but you are not knitting everyday, that means, you use less than 2 weeks to finish it off.
)
Yeah, it’s sexy.
I love the holes section on the top, very nice.
OH, I also love the purple, it’s just gorgeous !!!!
Thank you all for the lovely compliments. I love the colour myself…it’s a beautiful purple that goes well with my other knits. Not to mention the top section with holes…it just makes me feel special wearing it.
Wow, is really gorgeous ,the waist shaping are fantastic!! good job.
[...] Plumetis cardi finished ! have a look at Angel’s real nice one : she made some pretty mods, it suits her so perfectly !!!

Really lovely shape, it goes well with the three quarter sleeves
[...] to be a knitting tester for Sylvie, so I put the blanket on the side again. Now that the plumetis cardigan is done, I was determined to only work on this blanket but nothing else. Oh boy, what a tough job. [...]
