In the mean time... AW (old project: NY Giants blanket)
While I get started on some of the projects that I am planning to work on, I thought I would AW a project from almost three years ago.
I walked into the spare room the other day and saw it spread out on the bed, I thought to myself, "ooh what a good one to AW while I get started on the quilting." So here it is. The New York Giants blanket, c. Oct. '08
This was one of the first big crocheted blankets I did. I used a crochet block pattern book for the 18 surrounding blocks. I picked all single crochet patterns for simplicity. Then, I made the pattern for the feature piece in Microsoft Excel, also single crochet. It took some vision, but it turned out perfectly. Luckily my husband is a fan of a team with such a simple logo!!

Re: In the mean time... AW (old project: NY Giants blanket)
Very awesome!
I am a Colts fan, but root for NY Giants on the side because Little Peyton (Eli) is the QB.

It wasn't too bad. My H LOVES it!
I bet the horseshoe logo would be pretty easy! I like the Colts too... I just like the Manning brothers!!Confirmation and Removal of Endo - March 2012

Very cute idea. How do you make a pattern in Excel?
I can't wait for the season to start!
Well, when I was looking at all of the single crochet patterns in the book that I have, they were all gridded out and looked like a color by number. I got into Excel and made all of my rows and columns little squares and counted out the number of single crochets I needed to get the correct height and width. Then, I just started filling the cells with the colors.
Does that make sense? If not, I will try to explain it better!
