In the mood for something blue
Drops Jacket | Free pattern from Garnstudio | Bluesky Alpaca Worsted in Navy Blue
Turquoise Tunic | Pattern from Rebecca mag 31 | Habu Tsumugi in Turquiose Blue
Thank you very much on your comments and suggestions on my previous post. To be honest with you, that top does looked a lot prettier in the picture than in real person. I knew that drapey neckline was not for me the minute I put it on. I wasn't mad that it's gone to the frog pond. Just a little bummped out cause the yarn already started to pill and fuzz up a little. Hope it'll still look okay when I decide to knit it up. So, what's next? I'm still stash busting. I started two new projects early last week, both in blue hues. Other than the white, grey, black and brown I wear on daily basis. I'm starting to add more colors to my wardrobe. I do like certain shades of blue, like indigo blue, some sort of turquiosey blue or even ocean blue. But never wear much of them. Though, blues in general remind me of a favorite pair of well-worn denim jeans. I've not knitted anything in blue for years, will see how things work out this time.

stash busting. hmm... now there's an idea!
beautiful color, that Blue Sky Alpaca.
I just started a blue project today too. Can't wait to see the progress photos on yours.
Those are some lovely photos. Well done! The yarn colors are great as well. Good luck with the stash busting. Remember, no buying then!
Pretty- I particularly like the deeper blue of the drops jacket.
Beautiful shots and I love the colors. Great buttons, too!
I love the color and texture, especially of the Drops piece. Which pattern is that?
Lovely, lovely! The habu looks lovely knitted up.
Oh, yummo, what great colors, now I have got to check out the patterns. Stash bust on!
Yes, I maxed out on bluse early in my knitting career but am now returning to it with fervor, love the two that you have on the go!
Ooh, I love the wood buttons! That shade of blue is so lovely, it almost looks like the Rowan denim yarn. And the Habu silk... *sigh*
These shades of blue or beautiful. I can not wait to see the finished results, I am sure they will be gorgeous (just like everything you knit!).
they both look gorgeous. good for you for expanding your color choices. i find this challenging.
Which Drops pattern is the darker blue? Pictures are pretty!
Your photos are super fantastic. I love the deep blue alpaca, the weathered pale blue wood, and the warm wooden buttons.
Those buttons are really going to look great with that yarn.
Have just stumbled upon your blog while browsing Habu yarns on Ravelry, I love the turquoise blue.
I can't wait to see your Drops Jacket. I printed out a pattern for a jacket from the Garnstudio site this weekend and it looks like the one you are knitting. It is really a lovley shade of blue.
Both those blue yarns look beautiful. I like quite a few of those Drops patterns too, they always look so nice.
Blue is my favorite color but I never seem to wear it either - except for jeans. Yours are lovely shades.
Blues are my favorite, can't wait to see these knit up.
well they are both lookin good to me. Can't wait to see more of them, especially that really deep blue. love it!
I have that Drops jacket coming up too... are you getting gauge with that worsted weight yarn? It looks very pretty. Both of your knits are so textural ;) Blue is so beautiful - one of my all-time favorites.
Gorgeous photos -- both such lovely blues, but both so different.
I'm just now blocking that Drops sweater. (At first it felt a little like cheating, since I've been sitting on a similarly-shaped Phildar Swing Jacket for 6 months with only the back done. But now it just feels like a FO, which is always good.) Love the buttons you chose!
If that's the Drops pattern I think it is, my yarn for that same project should be arriving any day now! Looks like there will be quite of few of these floating around---yours looks beautiful so far!
hi vanessa!
just wanted to "stop" by and see what you've been up to. the red top in the 09/04 entry is so cute! too bad it didn't work out for you. can't wait to see what you end up reknitting. take care!
More awesome photos, I love your photos, they are always so great and well composed.
Mmmm, as usual you've made these yarns look absolutely delicious. Can't wait to see what they grow up to be.
Wow: the alpaca is a gorgeous shade of blue. Very rich and peacock-like.
The blues are just beautiful!
Beverly....
Hello miss! Are you making the same tunic with the habu that I made?
The colors in your pictures make me so happy.
That blue sky alpaca is a gorgeous colour. You take such beautiful photos. What camera do you use?
Hi there!
I hope your project is coming along nicely! I can't wait to see the finished product! Your work is always beautiful!
Those blues are gorgeous, as a recent Habu addict, I am very interested in the Tsumugi you are working with and look forward to seeing its progress, is it nice to work with?
Hope all is well! Miss your blogging and pics.
So gorgeous Turquoise Tunic!
Where is Habu?
