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.

Women > Jester Hat(s) - 2007 (3) > 12-3-07 018.jpg

These hats were knit with Knit Picks's alpaca/silk yarn called Shimmer in 2 different but coordinating color-ways (flower garden & stained glass) using a US size 10 needle.  The pattern is called the Jester Hat by The Garter Belt.  The pattern recommends putting a small ball of yarn inside the ball at the top of the hat but I used polyester batting instead.  It will dry more quickly after being washed.
