his stitches are so even !!
bringabanana
The humble double crochet stitch can accomplish great things. That is awesome.

Crochet on the front page? Crochet on the front page.

Surely there's a machine that can create this in a few hours

Thank you Mario, but our princess is on another blanket.
EthelPacelli
I got so instinctually excited when I saw that. Probably my first gambling experience.

I don't have any stars of invincibility...

But you're the brightest star in the sky tonight for me. I am your Luigi
SoulN8
WHAT UP BITCH I GOT A ONE-UP, BITCH! WHAT'S INSIDE THE QUESTION BLOCK? *boop* IT'S MY DICK!!
yagamiisgod
It's-a-me Mario, I'm more Italian than pastrami. I'll take you by the peaches and give you the hot salami.
RosiesRed
As someone who crochets, omg all those color changes! I bet it took 4 years just to weave in all the ends.
JankyGod
Sorry Mario, but your princess is in another blanket.

7 more worlds and another 45.5 years worth of work
DerkastanDerkaDerka
First one is always the longest
PJehT
average lifetime is approx double that, so still possible to make all 8 worlds
Ideletedmyoldimguraccountbecausethiswassuckingupmylife
average motivation for that is approx 0, so probably not.
gandraw
later worlds have more than one screen though so it's more like 150 years
GiantRobotsRule
Plus the Warp zone map
diregamer
The more you make the faster you get at making them.
TooterFishPopkin
With something like this the color changes slow everything down making it hard to get faster.
HeyOP
A little bit of planning, a designated work space & time specifically set aside to work would probably cut that time down a lot though.
bran3312
45,5 years remaining*
CycloneSP
it's a little off putting to read it like that. and how do you tell the difference between 1,125 and 1.125?
IGoByMeme
Some places uses commas instead of decimal places. In games like SMBX, it can really fuck up some people's things.
CycloneSP
ye, but seriously, how do you tell the difference between 1+1/8 (1.125) and 1 thousand 1 hundred twenty five? (1,125)
MadamPuddifoot
10/10 would like to cuddle your friend under that blanket.
chickieboomboom
A man that can crochet is pretty attractive in itself
Shineupordown
i am available
MadamPuddifoot
Are the the blanket maker?
KjetilNorwegian
I am the blanket maker. My brother showed me your comment. I am honored :). You are super cute too. But I am totally gay, sorry :).
MadamPuddifoot
Well damn. But hey, congrats on the hotness and that badass blanket!
Shineupordown
no but i would still cuddle the hell out of you
ArdentSlacker
So he's a crochet-y old man now?
MersaultX
Commas used as decimal points are not just confusing, they're the first step on the slippery slope to Commanism.
sixtyfortysoo
You nearly got me, you clever thing you x
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
It's OK, in France and Germany they use decimal points as thousands separators as well to restore balance.
IncognitoPanda
100$ on etsy. No, seriously though, this is seriously impressive.
Statboy78
Should be twice that easy.

Is your friend a Spiderian from the planet Tarantulon 6 by any chance?
MikeSWelch
Crazy nerd actually wove this tapestry while I was still looking for the princess.
Spergy1
Im pretty sure 6.5 years isnt 800hrs otherwise ive wasted 9rs on Dota 2 and need to sort my life out.....
Arzanim
But 6,5 means much more hours than 800...
farwall
In some countries commas are used as the decimal separator and periods as the thousands separator.
Catumi
It took 6.5 to start and complete the project spending 800 hours on the work itself throughout that time.
Arzanim
I know, but I wanted to be a smart-ass
Catumi

Used? Did he trade '6,5' years of his life or something?
TheHappyHermit
My friend spent 6,5 years (800 hours) not getting laid
Thaticeguy
Looks like the devil had to make budget cuts too, instead of souls he's trading years of life for blankets now.
spoonybards
Well, he needs the years to keep himself looking young and fresh, and boy do those denizens of hell make a damn fine blanket.
Thaticeguy
I concur.

Those are bushes. Or hills. Ok, I have no idea, but they are not cacti.

Yes the fuck they are.

This is the first level not the desert level. The desert level has palm trees and pyramids.
LtMashumaro
Yeah, they're totally cacti. This is a desert level ffs.

This is the desert level http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/e/e0/SMB3-Level2.png, Mario Bros 3 scrub

Yeah, I know. I used to play is alll the time growing up. I always thought those were cacti beause the map doesn't look like somewhere --->

bushes would grow.

I'm obligated by the other knitters on imgur to tell you it's crocheted. Cheers.
ImJustHeretoParty
I knew it! Everyone gets it mixed up though.
racem93q
Knitting looks like little v's and bumps, crochet looks like little knots.
kozytartan
Specifically Tunisian crochet, I think. It's got very even "pixels," which single crochet can't really get.
fuckweaselry
Can you imagine the size of the hook?!
kozytartan
I have one with a cable on the end. Makes it a yard long, at least.
fuckweaselry
Gahhhh!!
racem93q
It looks like good old double crochet but either way, it's cool.
iwearabunnysuitthecleanroomkindnottheplayboykind
Did you know you can cross stitch over finished Tunisian crochet? It's pretty sweet.
PoorlyContrivedUsername
Holy fuck I wish these were available for purchase. I'd buy the living crap out of it.
Furtaus
lets start a knittinggroup and make these for ourselfs! or is that crocheing?
Lyrabelle
Crochet. It'd be nuts to knit that.
xmsbeanx
They have those companies that basically make prints on quilts..they need to do that with this bc I want one also!!!
allthenamesaregone
At that amount of time spent, it would cost too much to be viable.
LordDerp2
800 Hrs @ 40Hr/Wk schedule = 20 weeks = 5 Months. Utils = 2k Base Labor+Supplies 10k +40% Markup. Sell it for 18k-20k to be profitable
PoorlyContrivedUsername
Then I wish for mass production!
ominousdusk
Sure yeah make the chinese kids spend thier childhood making them Instead lol
nextstopisme
Yes.
LiamNeesonOfficial
$6,000 for his time at a minimum wage of $7.50/hr.
Shuckeru
For what it is, that's a very reasonable price in fairness. A different point in my life and I'd spend that sort of money on it.
acme64
that is not minimum wage around here.
ITotallyShouldBeWorkingRightNow
The guy is Norwegian. Our labour wages are much higher than in other places. So it'd cost even more. :)
indrabar
That also does not factor in materials, utilities, or basic markup. You'd never make a profit if all you charged for was labor.
RobotCosmonaut
Federal minimum wage.
Vandaliam
People buy expensive shit all the time. I am sure someone out there would pay $8,000 for this, somewhere.
RobotCosmonaut
At $8000 he'd only make $10/hr and would not have been compensated for materials.
pizzaboats
Okay ill pay 80,000 then
Vandaliam
And? Let's say he got paid minimum wage per hour and was compensated materials. That would be $8,000 or less. Still a nice side job.

Mine makes expensive oil paintings. Or so I've seen pics of them anywho, too poor to buy one and she won't even give me a 4x7!

SylvanaDarkmyst
Tunisian crochet, kind of a weird mutant of crochet and knitting, makes really nice square stitches and clean color changes though.
Ashtacular
I still can't figure out how to do that.
brassknucklenerd
I started knitting my brother a scarf for Christmas once. A year later I gave him a washcloth.

FancyYogaPants
You should try crochet. So much faster! I made a hat, booties and a blanket for my friends baby yesterday.
PretendThisIsACleverUsername
No way you made all this in a day, even crotcheting
doomgerbil
Definitely possible.. Baby stuff is tiny. I make stuffed animals and can make a bunch in a week, only doing it after work. 1/
doomgerbil
Speed tends to vary by yarn/hook/stitch size though. 2/2
PretendThisIsACleverUsername
I'm a very slow crocheter then :)
doomgerbil
I used to be slow too.. if you make enough stuff you eventually get speedy. Being cold and wanting an afghan is a good motivator. :)
yskah
Okay, that was my reaction, too. But sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something. But now I'm 1/2

"Sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something"....That's actually really deep. I'm writing this down.

Do you have a pattern or were you going to make it up as you went along.
yskah
I made a pattern in Excel with conditional formatting and some boredom.
mamallamaxd
Its definitely crocheted. Mad props to that dude. All those color changes are what would take so long.
dinaana
It's cross-stitched, not crocheted. To crochet it would take a lot shorter time
TinySquid
That is definitely not cross stitch, for very many reasons. It's crochet for sure
mamallamaxd
You obviously don't crochet if you think that would take any less time than it did. Lol. All those color changes..it's called a graphghan.
dinaana
No need to loose your pants people. I in fact do crochet but different things. And somehow at first glance I overlooked it and 1/
