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 > Miss Fry Scarf - 2005 (2) > 100_3675.jpg

Charlie loved his 3rd grade student teacher this past year.  As a going away thank you gift, I quickly knit up this slinky scarf.  It was knit with specialty yarn that I purchased at Walmart - of all places (I'm still shaking my head at that one).

It was knit with one strand of Caron Fabulous Railroad ribbon yarn (100% nylon) in a navy blue color and 2 strands of navy blue 100% mercerized crochet cotton on size US 15 needles.  I then finished off the scarf with 4-5" long fringe.  I didn't measure the overall length of the scarf, but it had to be at least 6 feet long.
