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 > Purple Round Evening Bag Purse - 2004 (3) > Purple round purse 1.jpg

This is the first hand knit purse I have ever made.  It is of my own design and knit on 5 double pointed knitting needles.  The spiral design begins in the center of the bottom and continues up the sides.  It is knit with one skein of Patons Grace in light purple 100% mercerized cotton and two skeins of Lion  Chenille Sensations in 100% acrylic chenille.  It is finished with a purple cord drawstring and beaded tassel.  There is a removable circular chipboard box insert to retain the shape of the purse while it is being used.
