I have been inspired to start a new blanket in 2014
A Mood Blanket
It will be a blanket of squares, made in colours which will represent my mood on that particular day. The idea is from instagramer mummy_stacey.

So, really the only rule is that you crochet/knit a square or stripe everyday (or once a week if that suits you better) in 2014 using a colour that you feel reflects your mood. The colour choices are totally up to you! I think it's important that you use colours that you like so that it doesn't get boring. Plus you'll want a blanket you'd like to keep after all that hard work!! The amount of rounds is up to you! I think I'm going to do 4 rounds as I think I'll find that manageable! Most people doing the 365 are doing 4/5, the 52 people are doing more rounds so they get a big blanket too.
I'm committing to the 52 squares challenge, however, will try for 104.
These are the colours and moods I have chosen and each square will be framed in cream
There are so many colours and moods
I am going to post once a month with my progress, I will have a minimum of four squares to show you and I will be using the join as you go method. It will be really interesting watching the colours pop up on my blanket as it grows

I love this idea! And it looks doable. I do not know how to crochet but this would be a good way to learn.
And...
