Finally I have finished Princess Peach. I think for the blanket I will need to

Finally I have finished Princess Peach. I think for the blanket I will need to either find a better skin tone or a darker pink to make her sleeve stand out a bit more. I've done a lot of sketches of grids and graphs of different characters. So far I am loving how she's turning out. Now to decide if we will do each character as different blocks and put the patches together.

Tuinisian Fire Power Flower

So here's the first test run of the Mario Blanket things. I learned a lot doing this one. First in working a small project such as this one you don't need much yarn. Second, two Tuinisian stitches equals 1 square in my graph. This looks pretty great anyway, even if it's not as wide as I would have planned. These are so cute. I think I may do a mock up little Mario Blanket to design the big one. Do I want to do a larger blanket of individual panels? Or should I do a scene? I wonder how wide of a panel I can fit on my hook? Well it's a 10 inch hook so obviously a 10 inch panel...but how big is that in squares on my graph? How come there is so much math in crafting? lol! Stay tuned to find out more as the Mario blanket unfolds.

Tuinisian Crochet

Here's the practice run of me teaching myself how to Tuinisian(sp?) crochet. On my brand new afghan crochet needle. I am thinking about doing Micah & Isaiah's Mario blanket like this. I think it will be totally awesome. Now just to figure out my design. I am so excited! I guess I am going to have to learn hoe to do blocking as well.
