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.

Men > Rob's Ski Hat - 2008 (6) > 2-13-08 059.jpg

This ski hat was knit with the brown 90% alpaca-10% wool blend yarn and the cream cashmere-silk-cotton yarn that was used on my son's hat (EZ's Warmest Hat).  I used my own design but in retrospect should have casted on more stitches along the front of the hat and fewer in the back.  The hat is fully lined in the cream yarn.  It is finished off with a reverse crocheted edge and braided tassles.
