He got ideas when he saw me knitting the "Bonnie" scarf and asked me if I would mind knitting smaller squares to make him a scarf? Not any old scarf, a 'Tetris' scarf, and it would have to be an accurate 'Tetris' scarf. It would have to look like a 'Tetris' board, not just be an homage to the game.
Do any of you live with Gamers?
Bearing in mind that the "Bonnie" squares are 11cm across and you need 32 of them to make the scarf, how many smaller squares would I need to knit to form an accurate 'Tetris' board? Far too many in my humble opinion and it would take forever.
The BF likes this scarf that he found on line, but this falls into the category of 'homage'...
...whereas this one is more like it, though the BF doesn't want a fleece scarf... he wants it knitted and can I make it look 3D. Authenticity really is an issue here, certainly according to DS Fanboy, who says:
"We quite appreciate the attention to detail here: the playing field is 10 blocks wide and at least 15 blocks tall (a true Tetris playfield is 20 blocks tall, and we can just assume that the falling piece has decended five spaces.) We prefer our game scarves as accurate as possible, thank you."
It's a different world.
