The first time Carrie met Debra in person, she immediately was drawn to this amazing squishy adorable Blob of LEDs on Debra's desk.  Debra asked, "want to make one?" and Carrie's answer was "hell, yes!".  Carrie wanted to see if she could make a Blob without zip ties, and so the Knitted Blob was born.  This glowing, squishy creation can be made up as a Bigga Blob (200 LEDs) or a Bitty Baby Blob (100 LEDs).

The kit includes:
  • 100 or 200 USB powered LED strand (with a built-in controller with pre-programmed color patterns, and remote)
  • 2 Large googly eyes
  • 1 or 2 packs of zip ties (depending on which size LED strand you choose)

Instructions:
Check out the below livestream video with Carrie and Debra, showing you both the knit method and the zip-tie method.  We also have written instructions for both methods, knit style on our blog, and zip-tie style on Debra's blog.  ​We hope you have as much fun making blobs as we did!  Be sure to share your project and tag us @alpenglowind and @geekmomprojects on twitter and instagram!
