Notes

I’m test knitting & editing this pattern. Will link to the pattern once it’s published on Ravelry. :)

I am using dye lot 561 of Drops Loves You V for all pieces (except the Ls, on which I use a combination of DLYV and Drops Paris).

29 June 2015 - 6/6 square pieces done!

30 June 2015 - 3/6 line (I) pieces done.

1 July 2015 - 6/6 line (I) pieces done, and 1/6 J pieces done.

3 July 2015 - 6/6 J pieces done!

4 July 2015 - 3/6 L pieces done.

6 July 2015 - 6/6 L pieces done!

7 July 2015 - 3/6 Z pieces done.

8 July 2015 - 6/6 Z pieces done!

16 July 2015 - 1/9 background pieces done.

28 July 2015 - back from vacation, 2/9 background pieces done.

11 September 2015 - Done with Kirby plushies for now, 4/9 background pieces done.

22 September 2015 - 5/9 background pieces done.

25 March 2016 - 6/9 background pieces done.

31 March 2016 - 8/9 background pieces done.

1 April 2016 - 9/9 background pieces done! 4/16 filler pieces done, as well.

4 April 2016 - 16/16 filler pieces done! Time to sew the main blanket together before knitting the borders.

5 April 2016 - Bottom four rows sewn together!

7 April 2016 - Now the bottom six are sewn together, slowly making my way further and further up. :)

10 April 2016 - Actually need 7 I pieces, so I made the seventh and have continued sewing the pieces together. Done up through row 8; soon I’m going to need to incorporate the background pieces.

11 April 2016 - Only 4 tetriminoes to sew on to the blanket before I can start sewing together the background! The end is starting to come in sight!

12 April 2016 - All the main tetriminoes are sewn together, with just the background pieces (and one falling S block) left to piece together! It feels like a blanket now!

18 April 2016 - First five background pieces sewn to the blanket. Four more to go! :)

19 April 2016 - The main body of the blanket is done!!! Now to knit the border pieces :)

8 May 2016 This is taking me forever, but 1 border piece done and a second almost done. Not much more to go…

9 May 2016 - 3/4 border pieces done.

11 May 2016 - 4/4 border pieces done.

14 May 2016 - 1st border piece sewn on.

18 May 2016 - 2nd border piece sewn on.

6 June 2016 - 3rd and 4th border pieces sewn on. Just have to make a back for it now; probably going to crochet it in an effort to save time.

31 March 2017 - “Save time” hahahaha. I knit it, and I only just finished the back! One problem: I left the front of the blanket in NY the last time I visited my family! D: My dad said he’ll ship it to me this weekend, at least.

14 April 2017 - IT’S FINISHED! It took me almost two years but I finally finished the Tetris blanket! <3 I’m so happy with it! Hopefully, my mom will love it too. :D
