PACMAN CAL FINAL WEEK #5

Welcome to our final week in the PacMan crochet-a-long! This week, we work on joining our panels together, making a border, and the best part–the appliques! Because what is a PacMan blanket without PacMan or the ghosts?!

These are no ordinary appliques–YOU CAN MOVE THEM AROUND LIKE YOU’RE PLAYING PACMAN!!! That’s right! All the appliques have buttons on the back so you can move them around your graphgan game maze. Surely you can permanently sew them all on, but what fun is that?!

 

Meet Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde…

And of course, PacMan and Ms. PacMan…

And for a fun border, we replicated the PacDots around the entirety of the graphgan:

PACMAN CAL WEEK #4

Here it is in all its glory…the layout up to and including Week #4 of the Chaos And Chop Suey PacMan Crochet-a-long:

Life happens and sometimes you don’t get to crochet as much as you’d like. So that’s not just me? Good. I was hoping I’d be caught up crocheting my own version of this CAL by now, but I’m still plugging away at it too. This week is the last week of panels being released. Next week, we will join and border the panels…and then the surprise!!!! I’m so excited about this upcoming week I can hardly wait! Since I have no shame in my game, here’s my current progress on my panel:

PACMAN CAL WEEK #3

You know how when you buy a new car, you start seeing them everywhere? That’s what’s happened to me with PacMan related stuff since this crochet-a-long started. I swear, I’m seeing PacMan stuff everywhere! I was on vacation a few weeks ago and I noticed the lifeguard’s sandals had PacMan all over them! Is anyone else finding PacMan in unexpected places?

Like I mentioned last week, I found that the Pac Dots (those little dots PacMan eats) can be either white OR yellow. In the older versions of the game, the dots are white, while the newer versions of the game show them as yellow. So while you are working this panel up, take your pick! My tester that made the panel for this week decided to go with yellow Pac Dots (also what I picked)! This week in the PacMan CAL, we are working on the middle game panel…you know, where the ghosts start out:

We are closing in here on the end of the CAL. I know, I know…we just started. But this PacMan CAL is a short crochet-a-long. With just 2 more weeks left, here is a rendering of what the crochet-a-long looks like at this point:

PacMan CAL Week #2

18 months ago I was first connected with Becki from Chloe Rebecca Boutique. In the last year and a half, we’ve become friends and collaborators. We worked together on my Grease crochet-a-long, and have done numerous little projects together. When we first started working together, Becki told me of her love for PacMan and her desire for a PacMan blanket crochet-a-long. This crochet-a-long has been 18 months in the making and I’m so excited we’re finally doing this. Enjoy Becki!

If you didn’t know, Becki makes super duper cute ergonomic crochet hooks. She has a PacMan hook that matches our crochet-a-long project:

Week #1 of the PacMan crochet-a-long consisted of title banner. This week we jump into the game maze with the top portion of the maze. After some research, I found that the Pac Dots (those little dots PacMan eats) can be either white OR yellow. In the older versions of the game, the dots are white, while the newer versions of the game show them as yellow. So while you are working this panel up, take your pick!
