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.

My dad bought me the 90% alpaca/10% wool brown tan yarn for Christmas.  I used a blend of cotton, silk & cashmere yarns in cream as the accent color.  It is lined with the cream colored yarn.  The only problem I had was that the pattern by Elizabeth Zimmermann was very small.  I had to increase the size to fit an older child and would have had to make it even larger to fit an adult.
