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 > Silk Sari Purse - 2005 (5) > 100_4017.jpg

I purchased this silk sari yarn on eBay a few months ago.  It is wild yarn, made from the waste of silk saris.   The new yarn was more smooth in texture but the as it is used, more depth is developed.  I love the vibrant jewel tones and the purse goes with a number of outfits.

The purse is lined with Waverly 80% cotton/20 % linen toile fabric with a reinforced bottom.  The earthy handles were purchased at Wal-Mart and has a gold-toned snap closure.
