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 > White Beaded Sweater - 2004 (5) > White beaded wrap sweater 1 2004.jpg

I made this sweater for my sister as a 'mother's gift' at her baby shower this past summer.  This is the same sister who also received the cotton sweater dress, booties,  and newborn sweater (see  gallery).  This sweater is made from bleach white 100% cotton cone yarn.  It is a simple ballerina wrap sweater with a  green glass beaded edge.  After the sweater was completed, I spent another week hand sewing all of the beads onto the sweater.  It was very time consuming but the finished product was well worth it.  My sister ended up wearing it home from the hospital after she gave birth to my niece.
