Gamer Afghan

Last month while I was browsing through Ravelry's projects, I found this amazing blanket. This crocheter took many different squares with game designs on them and created this huge afghan. I fell in love and decided I had to make one myself. With Yule in mind, I thought it'd make an awesome gift. So I printed out some graph patterns, picked up some yarn, and started in. So far I've made 3 out ot 25 squares. I have a long way to go, but I'll get it done before Yule for sure.
This is what Ravelry's BlanketofDoom did with her afghan. I've been using it as a base for mine.

I'm using quite a few of the same squares but using different background colors.

For the three squares I've already made, I've come out with : HALF LIFE 

 TETRIS

and SONIC

There's still a lot more to go though. It's taken me some time just to get those three done. I need to step up my game and try to get atleast 3-5 out a week. I'm doing them all in single crochet. I made my own graph of Kingdom Hearts. Going to try it next see if it comes out right.

I won't be able to crochet much today as I have another task I need to do. I had a friend ask if I could help him with one of his cosplay costumes. So I need to break out my sewing machine and get to work on it. He's doing a character from Mortal Kombat. He gave me this as a reference, only it's in black, not yellow. I forgot which character it is he's doing though. It's not Scorpion, I know that much.

So I've got a busy day today. Need to get to work. I'll update again when I have made more progress. Until next time I leave off with a quote. :

"Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic."
