Angora linen sweater b.jpg
I had a lot of white angora yarn, but not enough for an entire sweater.  I finally decided to create this sweater using the 100% angora for the bodice and 100% linen for the off-the-shoulder sleeves.  To give it some more panache, I added the knitted bobble clusters of grapes made out of the linen with angora leaves and vines.  It looks fabulous with a long black skirt and a strand of pearls.

Children > Boy's Diamond Sweater Vest - 2003 (3) > Cream silk cotton boys vest 1 2003.jpg

This boys sweater vest is of my own design.  It is actually knit with yarn that I purchased in cone form from my favorite Ebay seller.  The yarn is by Zegna Baruffa and the content is 45% cotton, 35% cashmere, 20% silk.   It is the softest yarn I have ever worked with.    I knit it on size 4 circular needles, incorporating the subtle diamond shape using the moss stitch.  This vest is a toddler  size 2 -3.
