This brownish blob will eventually be the inspiringly named 113-17 jacket with raglan sleeve and pattern on yoke in ”Silke Alpaca” from DROPS design. Oddly enough, it doesn't have raglan sleeves, so I have no idea why it is called that. But never mind. I am rising to the challenge, since the pattern has some idiosyncracies and a wacky wacky chart... Also I'm doing a few mods that other ravelers have done as well, so it may not end up resembling the original. Whee!
Watch while I attempt to be artistic with the brown blob.

Next up: blue blob.
This is an experiment in Manos Silk Blend that I hope will turn into my first written pattern. It's a circle-scarf / cowl thing, or will be eventually. I love this yarn, and kind of want everything I wrap around my neck to be silk blend. Heh.
It's not really this colour. I did some colour correction so it no longer looks turquoise, but the real colour is darker and deeper.
That's me done. Off to apply to more jobs I won't get! Okay, no more whining. (But seriously, Universe? Get someone to hire me. I swear I'm talented and awesome.)

I like to think of the Drops staff sitting in an office wracking their brains for new names for patterns. "Ah 113-7 Jacket. That's a good one!"
ReplyDeleteVery artistic blob-shots! I love Manos Silk Blend! It's so soft and shiny!
ReplyDeleteThat blob stage can be tough... but you did an awesome photography job!
ReplyDeleteThe blobs look great :) I am in a cowl frenzy right now, so I love yours already!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful blobs! ;) I love your artistic pics. LOL I can't to see how the mods look for your sweater. I love the original pattern so it will be exciting to see the changes you have in store. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the job hunt!
I haven't made a DROPS pattern yet but have several of them queued despite the fact their names are as bland as can be. I look forward to seeing the evolving blob photos on future Wednesdays :-) Good luck with your job hunt!
ReplyDeleteThey're so lovely is blobs, they can only become great FOs ;)
ReplyDeleteNice blobs. Your brown blob looks blue on my laptop.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos....they may be blobs to you but the yarn is simply gorgeous. Looking forward to the progress you make
ReplyDeleteI love blobs because they eventually transform into wonderful, wearable knits! That is a pretty sweater pattern. I've never knitted a DROPS pattern yet but have admired many of them. Can't wait to see what the blue blob becomes. How exciting to be working on a first original pattern!
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures! You made the "blobs" look great! I'll admit though (and maybe it's just my screen) but they both look blue to me! Pretty though :)
