I donated my dino blanket (interlocking crochet) to the benefits auction at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. I didn't expect my blanket to be reserved for the live auction portion (most of the auction is the silent kind). I'm ecstatic about how it did and the crowd's reaction to it. $375 for SVP programs and scholarships!
Certainly $375 is less than I would have asked for if I was selling it, but I'm happy a paleontologist is taking it home and the money is going to a good cause. 😊
Below is a close-up of the blanket hung on my wall for beauty pictures. Don't worry, it was hanging for only a couple minutes.
It took me ~40 hours over 5 months in 2022 to crochet. 18 skeins of yarn. ~6660 yards of yarn. ~8 lbs in weight. ~92 inches x ~62 inches.
This is the pattern I used: Tenacious T-Rex
It really isn't a T. rex. It has too many fingers. I don't know what type of theropod it is. Some other options I considered were Acrocanthosaurus or Giganotosaurus but both of them have 3 fingers.
i crocheted @interlockingpatches ‘ free clover patch pattern & put together a badge that holds this little scent bag (sachet?), crystals, your lucky charm etc. 🍀🍀🍀🍀
the fabric is the original from this vintage/upcycled clothing store in tokyo called Flower and Guitar, and the printed is the actual photo of the item that is displayed at the shop.

My brother is getting married and I'm making him a blanket!
It's made of squares like these
I need about 90 of them.
If you design one and I use it, I'll dm you and get what name you want immortalized on the blanket (each square not designed by me will be tagged - my brother is also terminally online so handles are fine)
Here is the grid
You can use horizontal and vertical lines as well as the following diagonals
Here's a completed diagram
The color options are blue, green and purple
Please help. I'm designing them myself and the pattern I got originally was for coasters and we're all snowflakes.

okay I did some math and in order to finish crocheting this big ass blanket for my boyfriend by Christmas I need to do about a row per day, and it wouldn’t hurt to weave in some ends every day as well do I don’t have 100+ ends to weave in the week before Christmas lmao. all in all I think this is feasible.
