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.

Knitted > Miss Sidoti's Purse - 2005 (3) > 100_3743-1.jpg

This purse was knit for my son's Kindergarten Teacher as a 'end of the school year' gift.  Miss Sidoti is a hip, 20-something young woman and I wanted to knit her a purse that would reflect her generation.  I found this male figure mosaic pattern in one of my favorite book.

The purse was knit with a camouflage olive green yarn by Filati (78% cotton and 22% linen) and 100% orange cotton yarn.  It was lined with a 100% cotton corduroy fabric and has a coordinating twisted yarn cord.
