My never again project is close to the end! (lemmy.world)

I got this kit, just to try out a granny square blanket (8x9 squares).
This is a never again pattern, and never again yarn. This is never again for sure, not going back in 6-10 years like cross-stitch. :)

I think granny squares with a single color sounds like a fun and relaxing crochet. And if you like this kinda patterns my total respect for you!

I'm happy, now I am done with the squares. This will be a very small but nice blanket at the end.

It looks amazing, well done for powering through. I agree single-colour squares are much less faff. I'll leave an idea here for you: granny squares as pixels. Let it brew in your head!

(I'm turning a Super Mario 3 sprite into a blanket for my husband with solid colour squares. The Mario itself isn't too painful, it's the background squares to make it blanket-shaped that's painful. I need about 850 of them)

    Oh my God, I love that idea. My mom was an amazing crocheter, but I'm much less talented. I'm a cross stitched at heart, though, and love pixel art. She made several items from tiny granny squares (2 inches to a side) and taught me to make those. I could totally make teeny granny squares and use them like pixels/cross stitch. That's so freaking cool!
