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.

After knitting my sister-in-law a tank sweater for her birthday, her husbands whined that he has never received one of my hand-knit sweaters.  Crying.  Now he's happy. Psychotic.

This is knit with 6 different strands of either 100% cotton or 70% cotton/30% linen yarn.   The colors are:  mocha chocolate brown, orange, rich red, camel tan, navy blue, and olive green.   I used size 8 circular knitting needles.  I began knitting it in September and finished it in time for his birthday (Christmas time).
