#crochetmoodblanket2014

I started a 'little' project on Jan 1st. I came across it on IG and the basis of it is to crochet (or knit) a square a day or week, with the colour chosen according to your mood. Then by the end of 2014 you will have a lovely big blanket to keep as a memory of the year. As well as IG There is a Facebook page here: https://m.facebook.com/groups/193208130881340?ref=m_notif&notif_t=group_comment_reply&__user=858195491
I chose to do a square a day, ambitious maybe, but I chose just a basic granny square in a single colour. And rather than having a chart according to my mood I just pick a colour either that I like, or that relates to something we did that day. 
This was the end of week one and Momo said he can't wait for it to be big enough to cover his toes!

So we are up to day 16 and not only am I keeping up, I got ahead of myself by 9 squares! 

And as if that wasn't enough, because I was struggling to hold back and it do 1 a day, I started a second blanket!!! I also doing a basic granny hexagon in the 7 rainbow colours.  Then I got so carried away with that one that I  up to 35 hexi's now haha! 

Going on past experience though, I often lose my mojo so I'm sure I will still fall behind at some point. 
Each one only takes about ten minutes so I can fit one in with my morning cuppa most days and another once the boys are in bed. 
I hope I can stick with it, I'm really enjoying it so far and it seems to be helping keep my hooky-habit going strong! I will update on here each week to keep track of them both.
