Sprite Stitch Board!

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I love fiber arts (knitting, crochet, tatting, embroidery, and cross stitch) and video games.

I actually completed this blanket almost three years ago, but I thought I should share anyway. It took me three weeks of almost constant crocheting to get this sucker done. US hook size H, I or J hook (I can't remember now.) and 21 skeins of yarn. Since then it has turned into a mainstay of our winter weather blanket arsenal.

I designed the pattern using the knitPro webapp (LOVE that thing).

**Yes, that is a Knithuhlu (http://community.livejournal.com/knitting/3760537.html) sitting on my headboard.







Cheers!

That blanket is so boss!!

Awesome blanket! It looks really snuggly
My sister nearly died when I showed her this - she absolutely loves all things Silent Hill.

Love your Knithulhu too

That's the copy of Fight Club that I have. =P

LiquidKarma -- Thank you, thank you! I've been wanting to do a Trinity test blanket, but now that I found sprite stitch, I may have to end up doing a few more video game related projects soon. I'm thinking about making a megaman 2 screenshot blanket for the hubby, as he worships that entire series of games.

blackmageheart -- It is very cozy, even though I used cheap acrylic on it. It would have broken the bank to use anything else. Also, I feel for your sister. I saw the Movie and just about swooned when I saw PH walk onto screen for the first time. Bow-chica-wow-wow! Also, if you knit, that knithulu is a very easy pattern, and doesn't require much yarn at all. Try it out!

riotpatch -- Such an awesome book. Mine is a signed copy, got it as a gift from my mom. Have you read Choke? Has to be my favorite. So so sick.

<3 I totally want one. This is awesome! And I agree with BlackMageHeart, it does look snuggly! Who cares if Pyramid Head is quite creepy, I'd curl up with that. XD

this is super awesome! nice work!

This is the most epic and awesome blanket I have ever seen. I squealed, literally. I am in LOVE with Pyramid Head. Who cares if he is the physical manifestation of a man's inner evil? Look at those muscles! May I ask what picture you used to create the graph? This is one blanket I definitely want to make!

This is one amazing blanket. I had no idea that this kind of thing was possible, I'm in awe <3

Geez, I'm not sure if I can find the picture that I used in the graph, but I can try...

I found it on google. It was a stencil someone had made and put it on a tshirt. This was three years ago though...

(oh, here it is...well, at least a non-stenciled version of what I used...not the exact image, but close enough...)


Anyway, the pic that I had located had already been "stencilized", so all I had to do was throw it into the knitPRO webapp and go from there.

(Although, i will say that this guy (http://lhorkan.deviantart.com/) has a really awesome PH stencil that is ready to be uploaded into knitPRO.)

Cheers everyone!
