Inspired by Geges Super Mario Bros Blanket, I’m making a Legend of Zelda-blanket for my hubby. Haven’t quite figured out how it will look like, or how I am going to execute it, but it beginning to look like something. And the ideas are flowing!

Here you have it, my masterpiece! :D
EDIT: I have totally lost track of the yarn. I have no idea how many colors or how many skeins I have used. I think the whole thing was about 4 kg, which means something like 80 skeins of yarn. My tip to you who want to make a project like this: don’t. Just don’t!

OMG. I am actually DONE with all the panels! I have crocheted the whole thing together as well, but it is hard to take a good picture… I am going to put a fabric on the back, and eventually I will show you the whole glory :D

I really, really wish I could be finished now. One more panel to go, and then I am putting this thing together! Can’t wait!

I almost made this panel TWICE. When I was at row 72 (of total 83), I figured out the bushes was too close, and I took the whole thing apart. Just that took an hour. I think it was worth it, though! I have an inflammation in my crochetarm, and that is why I think it only will be two more small panels, and maybe a border.

I am so happy with my newest creation, Link in the cave to get his bow. Actually, it is the panel I am happiest with yet :) I also have bought a new crochet hook, so now I have a long one and a cabled one!

Happy new year everybody! This will hopefully be the year when I am super productive, and new panels will just come. I have made a small one ready, and I have taken some artistic liberty. 100 rupees? Yep!

It’s just so much to do in November, like planning for Christmas, and planning for Christmas. I don’t think the progress will be any better in December, but one more panel will at least be ready to show next year!

I am actually DONE with the big panel! I haven’t measured it, but I think it’s about 120 cm long. I have got a few more ideas for small panels, so I will hopefully be productive throughout the winter.

I really thought the big panel would be finished by now, but no. The beauty measures 217 (!) rows and magical 100 cm. I am also done with all the details, so the rest should be fast!

The big panel is really coming together. I actually hoped that I would be done by now (too wishful?), but I had forgot how much color work the “branches” were :/ It now measures 86 cm, and I’m getting close to row no 200. It will be 250 total, and about one grillion ends to weave in. Wish me luck with the rest!

Two more of the smaller panels are done, and I am just so happy! I get new ideas for more panels all the time, but I still would like suggestions from you guys as well :) Hopefully, there will just be two more months until the first big panel is complete.

Well, time is just flying by. I have worked really fast and very much to complete as much as possible on the big panel, and I think it looks good! I have some nearly finished smaller panels, so next month you’ll see those!

Lord, have I been waiting for this day! I have completed one of the smaller panels (34 cm wide, 37 cm long), and I am so happy with it! They are just so much faster to make (took me about two weeks)! I think I have decided to make two gigantic panels, and a whole lot of small ones. Maybe 30. We’ll see!

As you can see, I’ve completed the “push start button”-text. The blanket is 93 cm wide, and (for now) 32 cm long. I put my iPhone there so you get an idea of the size. I was thinking about adding photos the 1st every month, so next photo will be june 1st. Stay tuned!
