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.

Knitted > Joy's purse - 2005 (2) > Joy purse 1 1-05.jpg

The yarn used for this purse is absolutely gorgeous.  It is made by Blue Heron Yarns and is hand-dyed cotton and rayon seed yarn.  It came in a huge 490 yard skein that I doubled up to make it bulkier.  This yarn was a Christmas gift from my parents.   There wasn't enough yardage to knit a sweater but it was perfect for making a unique and special gift for my Mom's birthday.  It has bamboo handles, snap closure and  is  lined with denim cotton fabric.
