So, it all started on January 3rd when my mother found this Pixel Crochet book by Hannah Muir (BUY THIS BOOK FOR CUTE PATTERNS) and bought it for me. I was in the midst of another project so I couldn't start anything else, but the "Tetris Blanket" pattern definitely jumped out at me. This blanket is made up of almost 300 individually crocheted squares that are then sewn together to make a picture! Super easy! But VERY time consuming. And I didn't get my rhythm down until the last two rows because I suck. But, ya know.
I didn't actually start this project until January 8th. But it took me nearly a month to complete. I finished the blanket on the 2nd of February which is a long time for me. And I've made blankets before. The time consuming part is the actual sewing of all the pieces together. That's where the headaches come in. But I am super pleased with how it turned out! I have some progression photos but honestly the real thing is just so much better.

Thank you to Scott Weiss for modeling for me :P
So, as you can see, it's almost 5.5 feet in height which is great! But that means that I can't possibly lift the whole thing up like that to take a picture... short people problems
Here's his Queen sized bed for scale.
The blanket has been folded in thirds.
TL;DR Sydney makes a ginormous blanket. It's a buttton of squares sewn together and then she gives it to Scott.
