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.

Women > Tilli Tomas Silk Tunic - 2007 (3) > 2-13-08 024.jpg

This was my first purchase when I began working at Miss Chickpea's Funky Fibers.  I absolutely love this yarn.  It took 6 months to finish the tunic and after working on it for so long, I realized that it's a little large through the shoulders.  After I have finished the sweaters I'm currently working on I plan on taking this one apart to the armholes and redoing the top of it to the correct size.  Other than that one little problem that can be easily fixed, I absolutely love this tunic (my own design). 

The sweater was knit with 100% silk Tilli Tomas Disco Lights  teal yarn.   The yarn used for the edge is 100% rayon ribbon yarn by Judi & Co.
