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 > The WOW Purse! - 2006 (7) > Knitting 3-7-06 013.jpg

This purse took 2 evenings to knit and a couple of hours to do the 'finish' work.

It is knit with  one skein (215 yds) of FEZA Premier purchased from Fine Points .  The yarn is made up of a number of novelty yarns (rayon cord, ribbon, eylash, flag, & a little fur thrown in).  The fiber content consists of 65% nylon, 10% cotton, 5% acrylic, 5% metallic yarn, 10% rayon, & 5% wool. 

The lining is made with 100% silk.

The strap is an I-cord twisted together.
