Arcade Game Blankets: Xmas idea for the collector with everything!

Shameless plug!

I finally convinced my mother to make some arcade and video game themed blankets and sell them on Etsy.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/Grandma8bit

Up there now is Joust, Q*Bert, Frogger and Dig Dug!

Prices lowered through Christmas! The window for things to arrive before Christmas is getting narrow! Ships from MA.

Thanks!

OK, so I gave in to my obsessive compulsive disorder and bought the Dig Dug blanket.
Im going to wrap it up for my wife for christmas.
I think I just turned into one of those guys thats into fishing and buys their girl a new fishing rod for christmas.

Thanks Coindork, I'm happy to help feed the addiction! :)

Thanks all for the kind words, I'll be sure to pass them on. I know they're appreciated!

I was browsing through quickly..How large are they?

The sizes vary, but in general they're around 48"x48". Some bigger, smaller, rectangular, etc. That said, I have a BIG Queen size Donkey Kong blanket that I haven't posted yet. I'll try to list that tonight in case anyone is interested.

Feel free to share outside KLOV!

That Donkey Kong is awesome ! I may have to talk my wife into a new crochet project .
 
Dig Dug blanket arrived today, now to wrap it up for the wife ;)

If anyone is curious, the quality of these is really very good.
I'm quite pleasantly surprised how well made they are (and how thick they are).
The crochet work is very tightly knit so there are not holes and gaps like some afghans.
Well done.
Very nice, thanks.

Thanks again Coindork, I hope the wife was pleasantly surprised :)

The Christmas season is over, but I'll continue to add new stuff through the new year. Today I added a small Pac-Man and a bigger BurgerTime.

Happy New Year all!

Very cool. Makes me think of (and wouldn't be surprised if you're using) the 'Knit Wit' from the 90's. I thought it was called 'The Popper' or something, but Goog gave me this :



Ah, nostalgia :D

WANTED!!! : DECO Cassette System Cages/PCB's - Amplifone M48AAW00X Tubes - Robotron Cabaret - NEO GEO AES Joysticks - NeoSaveMasta - PuLiRuLa PCB - Sailor Moon PCB

Ha! That's great!! I should get her a few of those to speed up the process. Right now they're all individually crocheted squares!
 
I just have to say to anyone interested in these, these blankets are very well made. They are thick, and the crocheting is very tight. They are solid, and are very comfy. Quality stuff.

Props to you and your grandma!
