2010's New Year's Resolution Kept!

In January, Dish resolved that this year she would finally complete the Tetris throw blanket she designed in August 2008. And yesterday, January 29, 2010, just under the wire, she completed the goal. Here it is, from start to finish! Dish cannot believe it is finally done!!

The pattern.



The yarn.



The completed squares, all 200 of them: 84 black, 36 blue, 36 green, 16 red and 28 yellow. Each one took between 30 to 40 minutes to knit.



The finished product!!! Dish likes to call it "Waiting for a Stick". Now that the project is finally complete, Dish would like to send a shout-out to Jeannine for being a competitor in all the frustrating Tetris games that inspired this project and also to Ryan who lent me the Super Nintendo and Tetris game that started it all.
