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.

My brother-in-law asked me to knit a scarf for his wife as a Valentine's Day gift.  He requested that it be knit in purple, one of his wife's favorite colors.  It is knit with 2 strands of yarn on size 13 needles.  The yarn consists of 1 strand of Colinette Giotto ribbon yarn which is 50% cotton 40% rayon and 10% nylon and 1 strand of  light purple 70% pima cotton and 30% silk by Adrienne Vittadini Marissa.  The looped ribbon edge is the finishing touch on this luxurious scarf.
