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 > Girl's Johnny-Collar Chenille Sweater - 2003 (2) > Knitting 1-15-06 015.jpg

For this particular Christmas I made sweaters for all of our nieces.  This one was/is Molly's.  I believe the chenille yarn fiber is rayon.  I'm not sure because the yarn did not have labels.  The collar and edges are finished with the basic crocheted stitch using black cotton yarn.
