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

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.

I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

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