Craftser user EnemyAirShip taught herself to knit a little while ago by watching YouTube videos She started with granny squares and then orchestrated a the Longines pixelated pattern that become the Mario rug, which now lives in her living room EnemyAirShip says:I finished him in 15 days (approx 120hrs put in)! It took 13 days to complete all the individual granny squares, then 2 days to sew them all together

I made an Excel spreadsheet with columns and formulas detailing the number of granny squares needed for each color, then used this to track my daily progress (like a true geek, haha) and motivate me to keep out doing myself. And that right there is why I won't learn to crochet Or even knit slightly better than half assedly I just don't have Movado follow through like that!7x7ft Raccoon Mario Rug!
