Okay, here we are, my first Crafter's Corner. As always, I have a lot going on in my crafting world right now. I have two very tedious blankets on the go right now (they are made ENTIRELY by 1.5 inch granny squares) that are taking up most of my time. I am also converting my baggy t-shirts into baby doll tees but that only takes a few minutes so it's not really a big project. There is one thing that I am very excited about though and I want to share it with you.
I have recently decided to start crocheting video game inspired items and I am starting with a scarf and hat set. The scarf and hat set is inspired by the original Tetris. The scarf is going to be black with an in progress game of Tetris on either end and falling blocks throughout the rest of the scarf. The hat is going to be black with a trim made of Tetris blocks. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty excited about the project and I'm hoping that it works out because if it does then I have opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for myself (and my readers) for crochet patterns. So I will definitely keep you posted and if it turns out I will post the pattern on a future Monday. For now, I will tell you this...I have graphed out the pattern on graph paper with each block representing 4 single crochet stitches and so far it is working out.
The only problem is having to constantly switch colours, it's making for a rather big mess.
Well, that's what's going on in my craft world right now, on Wednesday I'll be back with a great winter comfort recipe!

Okay, so here's an update on the Tetris scarf...I started over. The single crochet was NOT working for the scarf, it managed to do the pattern well, but the scarf was not working with that stitch. So, I decided to switch to having 2 double crochets for each of the squares on the graph paper and it is looking at least 10 times better, YAY!
