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.

Men > Rob's Silk Sweater Vest - 2003 (2) > Mocha men's sweater vest 1 2003.jpg

I bought this taupe silk yarn to knit my husband a sweater vest.  He prefers vests to sweaters and I knew that a rustic silk sweater would be an added feature to his wardrobe.  It is EXTREMELY light-weight, cool on a warmer day, warm on a cooler day.  Perfect for those casual business days at the office.  The yarn has a lot of texture, so I chose to knit a simple wide-paneled design into the vest.
