Sprite Stitch Board!

i decided to crochet a yoshi blanket for my boyfriend. he loves yoshi very much!
this is greatly inspired by Ellentje's very own yoshi blanket: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2473&st=0&sk=t&sd= ... =20#p21161

she also gave me pointers on how to complete mine! thanks so much!
these are just some progress pictures. i started making it on Oct 2, 2011.


(those are my legs!)





i actually filled in that block missing from the picture right above, i just haven't had a chance to take a picture of it yet.
this is yoshi from super mario world. i used the blue yoshi because it is my boyfriend's favorite one. the blue yoshi from super mario world gains wings during the game (each yoshi has a different color, likewise gaining a different power).

i don't have much crochet experience. i did learn to crochet about 7 years ago, but i didn't continuously crochet throughout those years. i just picked it up again now!

please stay tuned, i will be posting more pictures this following week. hope you guys enjoy~

hello all! here's another progress picture! as you can see i kind of crochet like a drunk person... haha...

Oh I think it looks quite nice! Your bf will love it!

OOOOoooohhhhHHHhhh CUTE!!!
I'm sure he's going to love it!
Cant wait to see it finished

looking great!

You're doing fast... it looks great !!!

thanks all for the wonderful feedback! i really appreciate the great comments =D feel free to correct me on anything. ( i am a noob after all )

i was wondering, how do i make crochet squares more... "square"? mine were kind of round-ish. the way i made them was just doing rows and turning them whenever i started a new one.

fortunately they look square when i attach them to the blanket!

I'm not super great at crocheting, but I will offer my limited knowledge ^_^;;

I had the same problem, and for me it ended up being that my tension was too tight. Once I figured that out my squares were more square ...

But... then I started getting tight on the ends of my rows and loose in the middles lol, also causing funny things with the shape of my squares.

Now I just know to keep an eye on it ^_~

**Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to add, the blanket is awesome so far! Very nice looking, and that color blue is to die for =D
