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 > Ms. Luzio's Purse - 2005 (3) > 100_3663.jpg

This purse was knit as a 'end of school year' teacher gift for Charlie's 3rd grade teacher. 

The purse  was knit with Trendsetters Balboa sage green ribbon yarn (36% cotton, 36% acrylic, and 28% polyamide) and Noro's Cotton Iroha dark sage green yarn (70% cotton, 20% cashmere, and 10% nylon) and lined with linen fabric.  I added 3 shell buttons and jade beads to complement the luxurious yarns.  The shoulder stap was made by twisting 3 strands of the same yarn into a cord to match the purse to perfection.
