TigerLily's Misc Projects- Tifa Pixel Blanket Complete Pg 3

[TigerLily]

Love having a ton of my go to yarn in my stash for projects like this!

It works out so well. I make a lot of items for other people, mostly baby items- hats, dresses, cardigans, etc. I don't post them here because they have nothing to do with any fandoms or anything. Anyway, I almost never use up all of the yarn that I've purchased for the project and so I end up having loads of half skeins and such. Then there is the reason I have so much white to use up, which is a less fun reason, being that I was let down by someone who had originally asked me for a blanket and then changed their mind after I bought the yarn. Oh well, it's being put to good use now.

I haven't taken another picture yet, but my current update on squares is 1240. I'm sort of trying to keep them hidden away at the moment, but I'll take a good picture of them when I get close to sewing time.

I have finished crocheting all 1,800 squares!!!!



Now I am weaving in all of my ends- the squares in the plastic bag are ones that are already woven in. When I'm done with that, I will start crocheting them together. I am really hoping to have the blanket finished by the end of the week.

Good luck with all of those ends!!!

I was very silly in my thinking. I gave myself the impression that I would be able to fly through the joining, but I was so, so very wrong, haha. I do think that I am making pretty good progress, but it is still slow-going. So far, I am halfway up the blanket going horizontally. Which means I have quite a ways to go still.

Here is a WIP pic:


This is horizontal seams only. I am working straight across each row using slip stitches and once every square is connected, I will use the same method going vertically.

I'm sure a few people will be able to figure out what the image is now.
Also, the background is a bit chaotic. I think I mentioned before that I am literally just using everything in my stash, but I am doing my best to give the chaos a little bit of order. That's also why I outlined her in the white- to help her stand out of the background. Hopefully it will turn out well.

**Side note- This thing is huge! A little bigger than I anticipated. I have no idea how I am going to photograph it when it's complete since I was having trouble just getting a picture of the halfway point. I may have to lay it down on the kitchen floor and climb a ladder or something.

It's looking great so far! I can only imagine how much work that is.

Looks like Tifa to me

Thanks! It's definitely more work than I was imagining. haha

Hurray! That means I am succeeding so far!

Looking great! Good luck with all of the joining!

[TigerLily]

Finally done with all of that joining, weaving, etc!

Here she is:


The background is a bit chaotic since it is literally anything and everything that I had in my stash, but that's why I made sure to put an outline of white around her. I tried to make it appear as orderly as possible and I'm quite happy with how she turned out.

This is great! I really like how the background came out, outlining in white was a great idea. Fantastic!

[blackmageheart]

Love it! The background almost has a sort of stained glass window feel to it. I wouldn't worry about it, because it looks awesome!
