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 > McKenzie's Backpack - 2004 (2) > McKenzie's backpack 1 12-04.jpg

This is the first backpack I have ever knit.  I knit this as a Christmas gift for my future niece who is 9 years old.  She is much more into sports than frilly girl things so I wanted to make her something that reflected this.   I used 2-1/2 skeins of Sugar 'n Cream 100% cotton in the faded denim color.  It is finished off with blue grosgrain ribbon shoulder straps.
