These tank tops are brand spanking new to my collection, and I'm just loving the hem detail. The back of the tank is especially flattering, giving an almost bird tail effect.

The yarn is a mix of cotton and acrylic, and it's quite stretchy, there are 3 tones, graduating throughout the yarn, one light pink, one a dusky pink and the other a burnt orange. The end result, is a really warm interesting effect.

I have also crocheted a little corsage, see image No.4

The tank can be machine washed on a cool wash,but for best care, I would hand wash.

Call them a tank top or call them shells, these sleeveless tops are timeless. A
woman’s wardrobe isn’t complete without a few of these to choose from. Wear
them under the jacket of a business suit for a feminine yet professional look or

with a slight sheen. It is incredibly soft. The loose weave in which I have
knitted this garment adds an interesting texture to the entire look. You will
love wearing this top!

Original Design Listing May 24, 2008
This is not a new design in my collection, but it is a new color.



I am made from very soft 100% grey cotton and, as you can see, there is nothing ordinary about me. With just a hint from your imagination I can morph myself into something new and incredible!

Turn me around, spin me upside down and the only thing that will be dizzy are those who wink and gasp as you stir up lots of attention when you wear me out on the town – to a nice lunch with your friends or out on a date with the love of your life.

Spin me the right way and I'll be a waistcoat that closes with a single button/clasp. Twirl me another direction and you'll find me to be a great skirt! I can be a cape or a shawl. Whirl me again and I'll be a halter top!

I promise I'll go with so many of your outfits you will never tire of me. I'll change your look with that spin, twirl and whirl, with a swish and a twist you'll be wearing a new top without even changing your clothes! Who else could do that for you, huh?

My creator can even give you the option of having knitting ties attached just like my first creation, just convo her; she already has them ready to attach along with a nice black button to match the ties! The neckties have a floral effect; probably made from some chenille she's had in her shop, just waiting for the right opportunity to use it!

Ooooh, it fits me perfectly! Come on, waltz with me and I'll make you swoon!

My knitted parts can be machine washed, but, please, my neck ties are best hand washed. I'll fit a size small – medium but with a simple convo I can be made into a larger size –I want to dance with EVERONE!

The butterfly broach is not included.

If you'd like this waistcoat/cape in an alternative colour please convo me

iLE AiYE ORIGINAL DESIGN/May 2009

How often on a hot summer day, when we're wearing a pair of shorts, capris or diaphanous pair of pants, do we wish for some light accessory that would welcome the summer's breeze and still dress up an outfit? There are days when I want to feel more feminine and these little ponchos, open at the sides, are an item I reach for over and over again, for day and evening wear.

This delicate, pretty cape is made out of a lovely warm sunny yellow cotton slub yarn, which is knitted around the neckline and bottom of the cape. The main body of the cape is knitted with a fine linen yarn which again is a warm sunny yellow. This linen yarn is weaved in strings of three, making the detail really quite interesting.

For a bit of extra colour I've included a thin band of slate grey linen, and some gold slubby yarn around the botton, and one row of gold slub around the necklane.

Size 6 – 8 US 8 – 10 UK – comfortable fit
If you would like a larger size, that is not a problem, please just convo me, I'll be happy to help

This special yarn has been handspun by a very talented Irish knitter/weaver and the blue, cream and grey tones used here are just a small sample of her color range. A total of 6 different exceptional yarns have been used to create this garment.

I love knitting these capes; the blue, the dark and light grey yarns are a 100% linen. The light blue which trims the base and the collar is 100% cotton and has an interesting slub or nubby effect. It is also exciting to see the results made by alternating the colors and types of yarns. The light cream,blue and pink thread is 100% viscose. The wider grey yarn is a tape yarn, a mix of cotton and viscose.

Some of the yarn is extremely delicate and has been woven into strings of 3 – 6 making the finished yarn very interesting. The details in the shades of this yarn are so gentle and subtle that the full details are difficult to capture in the pictures. However, I am quite certain that you will be absolutely delighted with your purchase. I have fallen in love with these yarns.

This cape is stitched together at the neckline. But the two sides are left open to allow plenty of room so you can freely move your arms. I have also added a tassel effect down one of the side seams to provide a little extra finesse in the detail.

This shawl will fit a 6 – 10 US or an 8 – 14 UK comfortably
Hand wash gently by hand

iLE AiYE ORIGINAL DESIGN/February 2006

This is something even Scarlett O'Hara didn't have – a corset/waistcoat!

It can be an original for you too because the yarns/shades making up this waistcoat have long been discontinued.

As you can see from the picture showing the back of this garment, the waistcoat/shrug hugs the body almost like a corset with a detailed stitching following along the backbone. This detail is really very attractive.

These exclusive yarns are fashion yarns. The top layer is a very slubby yarn in shades of pink, lilac and purple. The lower layer of the waistcoat is a purple shade of thick tape yarn. Both of these yarns are very soft and comfortable.

As shown in one of the pictures, this type of waistcoat ties together in the front with a pink leather tie.

Size small - petite

Please convo me if you have any questions about this item!

I loved knitting this wrap, the yarn is so soft and slips of the needles with ease. as well as it being exciting to alternate the colours, and see the results.

I have used a number of different yarns to create this shawl. The majority of the yarns have been spun buy a very talented irish knitter/weaver. And these Grey and black tones
and just a small example of her talents.

Some of the yarn is extremely thin, however, it has been woven in strings of 3 -6, making the finished yarn really interesting. It's really hard to show the detail of these beautiful yarns, but you'll be delighted with your purchase. I've totally fallen in love with this shawl/and yarn.

One of the black and one of the grey yarns is a mix of cottom and linien, Another slubby black and grey yarn are cashmere and merino. The wider yarn is a tape yarn, this is a mix of cotton and viscose.

I have added a just one row of Gold and green yarn, at one the bottom of the cape, just for added interest, and a sparkle of colour.

The cape will fit a size 6 - 12 US, 8 - 14 uk comfortably

iLE AiYE ORIGINAL DESIGN/June 2006
Why not have an Apple Green Summer?

This diaphanous poncho has a nice weight, being made from two yarns, one is a ribbon fashion yarn and the other is pure cotton, making it a perfect summer accessory. Pair it with the chenille apple green/neck scarf/headband that is also listed in my shop and just a few knots to tie the band will swing your look to that of a chic sophisticate!

Every gal likes to have something in her closet that is versatile and never boring! This is it. This poncho looks stunning with a beautiful dress, perhaps that little black strapless number you have in your wardrobe or you can wear it with jeans and a t-shirt. In either case, you will love the delicate feel of this yarn.

This savoir faire garment is more cape than poncho; it is a bit different than some of my other poncho/capes in that it fastens at the neckline with a lovely dark burgundy button.

Five yarns were used to create this glamorous accessory. The yarn used at the bottom of the cape is a slubby fashion yarn and the colors are a mix of saffron, petrol blue, specks of red and burgundy.

The black yarns are a mix of chunky wool and acrylic, a black ribbon yarn, a chenille yarn and a thin wool/acrylic yarn.

This spicy mix makes an elegant cape, perfect for wearing over long sleeve t-shirts, blouses, strappy dresses – it will go with just about everything!

This little poncho/cape isn't really so very little. If you look at the pictures it is a nice sizeable garment with a good knit to provide protection from the chill of a summer evening.

The Wool/Alpaca yarn color has a subtle gradation from lilac to purple and is extremely soft. You will love how it feels against your skin!

A beautiful, soft, Alpaca yarn, makes up this slate grey iLE AiYE poncho.

This is a really flattering grey with variations in the shade/tone, which seem to give the colour some depth.

Such a stylish poncho will also help keep the chill of as we begin to reach the autumn evenings.

Looks great dressed up, or just worn with jeans,

You will receive the skinny scarf with your purchase, as shown in one of the images,

The Grey Chunky hat is also available from my store as is the Grey Peru Collar.

Best care is to hand wash and dry flat

This yarn is so soft, and absolutely stunning.

I have made this cape with two fashion yarns, both of which are now discontinued, therefore this cape is a complete one off, a unique piece. and can't be replicated in these colours again.

The design is one of my favourites, it has one open side, which keeps one arm free to move without restriction, and so the cape won't ride up, when you streatch out an arm.

The cape is also sold with the soft blue scarf, as an added accessorie.

Having one side open, means you can utilise the design, and therefore have the opening at the front, the side or the back, however you wish.

The yarns are made from a mix of 50% Cotton, 30% Viscose, and 20% Acrylic.

This cape would fit size 8 - 12 uk.

And should be hand washed.
