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.

I use to have a knitting book that specialized in knitted floral designed sweaters.  This was one of the patterns, but I chose to make a framed piece rather than a sweater.  The background is ecru 100% cotton yarn.  The design is duplicate stitch using embroidery floss in the colors dictated in the pattern.  It still hangs in Lisa's house after all of these years.

 I don't remember if I gave it to her as a birthday, christmas, or anniversary gift...it was 13 years ago. Psychotic.
