This week I've managed to squeeze in a little bit of making amongst the busyness.
I'm still working on the Pixelated 1up Mushroom blanket (if you don't have a clue what I'm going on about, visit here). I decided to put all the granny squares I've made so far on the deck yesterday to see how much I've done. The mushroom is nearly finished! Now I just need to decided what colour to make the rest of the blanket and put it all together (any suggestions on a colour? I was thinking dark green maybe?).
Also whipped up another mustache mug cozy for a friend. I love these!!

ReplyDeleteWow Kristy, you are so talented!! This reeeeaaalllly makes me want to finish my crochet blanket today!!

The blanket is looking awesome! I can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day :)
cant wait to see your finished blanket! mug warmer is so cute!!
ReplyDeletewell done so far. I like red...The red jersey next to it kinda gives you an idea of what it would look like
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I'm almost tempted to take up crochet so I can make one too... almost. I think the colour depends on how colourful his room is already... so many colours would work with it, sky blue, canary yellow, red...
ReplyDeleteWow, I HAVE to make one of these for my boys!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! You have me wanting to make a pixelated something... Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteHope you don't mind, I shared a link to your post on my FB Business page!

ReplyDeletemy boys would love that blanket..willing to take any commissions for a yoshi one?? ;)

Love it. Def keep the surround a neutral to make the mushroom pop. Like charcoal, dark green, black etc. I wouldn't introduce another colour. Can't wait to see it done!

That looks so awesome! I am loving that mushroom! awww :))
ReplyDeleteit's looking fantastic. i'd go for a lime green!!
ReplyDeleteMy boys would just love that! I can see a series ahead!
ReplyDeleteI think dark green would look great, or a blue as someone suggested.
Um, I need to learn to crochet. That is too amazing.
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest sky blue also, but I think the comments have changed my mind and perhaps something neutral really would be better. Any colour will be amazing. What a lucky boy!
i just love that Mo cozy!
ReplyDelete( the blanket look great too)
Looks amazing! I think any colour would match - I like the red idea, but I just love red!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, WOW! That pixelated mushie is fantastic. And secondly, double wow on your mo mug! They really are just fabulous. K
ReplyDeleteThat blanket is looking awesome, where do you get the time? Would be a bit ambitious for me at the moment, but my son would love it, definately going on the to do list.
ReplyDeleteSo rad!!
ReplyDeleteSuch great projects! How stinkin cute is that mug!
ReplyDeleteTOO cool Kristy, that is just fantastic, it's that computer game thingie your son likes right?? He looks very pleased. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteThe mushroom is soooooooo freakin awesome!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, I think mario sky blue would look fab as a background (or any of the colours found ingame for that matter)
ReplyDeleteHaha, love the mushroom! I might get inspired to make some nerdy, nostalgic pixel art from yarn myself. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow! how very clever of you. This is going to look amazing when it's all finished!
ReplyDeleteMy son would find it so awesome! Dark greeen as a back sounds great but what do you think of red, the shirt of the boy shows how well it matches, just an idea :o)
ReplyDeletethat is so cool! Brings back a few childhood memories.
ReplyDeleteWhat size hook did you use and did you only do two rows of a granny square for each square? I can't seem to find the materials needed or the instructions to start a blanket or rug like this.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember what hook size I used - probably around 5-6mm? Yes, only two rows for each square.
DeleteDo you think if I have smaller ply wool it would be ok to do 3 rows for each square? 2 doesn't seem big enough.. hmm... I'm using size 4mm hook.
ReplyDeleteHi. Yes, I did three rows for each of mine (probably hard to see in pic). All the best!
DeleteThanks so much for responding, I really appreciate it as I was worried about going ahead not knowing if I was doing the right thing. I thought you had only done 2 rounds.
DeleteThanks again. Time to hop to it! !
Thanks for your comments... I love hearing from you!!!
