This Grandma Passionate About Crochet Dedicates Handmade Blankets To Retrogaming And Even In Summer, You Will Want One Of These

ADVERTISEMENT

Janice, who uses the name of Grandma8bit on Etsy, lives in Maine, United States. She opened her online store to sell her creations dedicated to retro gaming. Fully crocheted, its covers include famous scenes from some classic vintage consoles. It is a tribute to the ‘yesteryear’ games such as Galaxian, Mario Bros and Donkey Kong!

The works of Grandma8bit are offered for one hundred euros, a small price considering all the hours this grandma puts into her blankets. According to Grandma, these blankets would be “perfect for winter nights on the couch while playing video games. You can also use it as a baby blanket or as a decoration. We firmly believe that even in months of summer you will find yourself reaching for one of these.

    Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

    Yay! I always thought how crocheted graphics always looked like 8 bit games. I'm glad someone actually made it.

    @Daria B Crocheted video game blankets is not a new idea, several other people have done them before this grandma. :)
