“Old Blue Jeans” – watercolor
The word faded always brings to mind jeans for me. Especially jeans that are faded in the right spots from wearing them for years, not the acid-wash style jeans.
“I’m gonna put on my old blue jeans/gonna walk out of here and into the streets/ would you put up resistance/ would it make a difference/ would you know the real me/ me in my old blue jeans” – “Old Blue Jeans” Hannah Montana
I’ve been on a glove-making kick lately. Especially after my sock-yarn-buying kick a few months ago.
I’m really proud of these. They are made from self-striping Microfiber Dralon yarn. I have no clue what that is, but it sounds cool.
I came up with a pattern to knit them seamlessly. I also created a heart on the top and palm sides.
It took a few times of reworking the first glove, but I finally got it down. I even made some in blue.
Since the yarn stripes itself, every glove is unique. They still come in pairs, but don’t match stripe for stripe.
What are your obsessions lately?
These are available on my Etsy site, pink here and blue here. You can also see my write-up of it on Craftsy here.
I have a slight obsession with gloves and socks. As in, I own way more of each than I could wear in six months. I also wear gloves way past when it is too warm to do so.
These gloves technically combine both of my favorite things. They are knit with sock yarn, making them light enough to continue wearing when it starts getting warm but your hands are too cold.
The fingerless style makes them great for working on the computer, knitting, or using your smartphone. Anything that requires the use of your fingers.
What is your favorite type of accessory?
