soc_puppetFinished Dobby!
[Description: A gangly-limbed House Elf wearing a light blue smock, purple and green striped scarf, multicolor hat, and mismatched socks; pictured face on and at three-quarters view. He is smiling at the viewer.]
Of all the clothing items, I like the scarf the best. Possibly because it was the easiest to make, I will admit. But I also like that I went with contrasting fringe at the ends there :)
The socks I probably like the least. I have never made socks before, and didn't even bother to look up a pattern for normal-sized feet, let alone smaller-than-baby-sized feet. (Though baby socks would probably fit him pretty well.) I went ahead and added lightning bolts to the blue sock at any rate, just 'cuz.
The hat I'm neutral on, though it does need a safety pin to stay in place :/ Ah well; can't win 'em all.
[Description: The same gangly-limbed House Elf wearing just the light blue smock; pictured face on and at three-quarters view. He is smiling at the viewer.]
Just-the-smock version, which is what I'll eventually be using as reference images for the pattern. Mostly because I'm only planning to include the smock pattern in it at all, so. The smock is, in fact, tied on at the shoulders, and I stitched a little seam into the sides below his arms for a more "pillow case-y" look.
In retrospect, I maybe should've added dots to his eyes before I glued them on, tried a couple different directions for them to be "looking". I still think it turned out pretty well, though.
One of the things I think is really great about Dobby's pattern is that, with just a little bit of alteration (and a different yarn color), it could easily be a pattern for Yoda or Jig the goblin instead :) (Mostly alteration in the nose area, to be frank, but his arms probably could use a shortening for the other characters as well.) Anyway, makes things easier for potential future projects/other people.
One down, three to go :Dbb If I manage to finish the next two in three days each or less, I'll put up an offer at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
