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.

In the House > MINI Lace Christmas Stocking - 1993 (3) > Christmas Knitting 034.jpg

Rob's grandma did a lot of knitting before she had Alzheimers.  When Rob's grandpa moved into assistant living, I acquired his grandma's knitting supplies that were still stored in the house. 

The lace edging is knit with 100% mercerized cotton thread that had been in her small stash.  It has complete  sentimental value.   The stocking was made from the 100% cotton velvet that I used for the 4 large stockings.
