Crochet mood blanket 2014 (1)

Good morning my friend!

A new start of the year with a new project…

You can nerver guess how much I am excited by this project!!

Let me tell you all about it so maybe you join me…

AΒ Β lovely Instagram friend (Mummy_Stacey) is behind this project. She suggested to make 1 square per day or 1 square per week during 2014 depending on your mood…

If you make 1 square per day you’ll have end2014 a blanket with a total of 365 squares.

If you make 1 square per week (and here you can crochet a bigger square) you’ll end up with a blanket of 52 squares.

You choose each day (or week) a color to crochet your square with and this color must reflect the mood you are in…

You can have more details and info on Mummy-Stacey instagram here.

There is a facebookΒ group too for all the members. And a ravelry group.

I decided to join the fun and make a square/day. I chose carefully the design of my square. It is a very simple one. 5 rows of 12 treble each and a last round of 1sc-3ch-1sc around the square to join it to the others as I go…

January 1 : light purple: Feeling very sleepy all day long

Here are my squares joined -as-I-go so far:

january1-2-3

January 2: Yellow: The energy is back and I felt in a very happy and full of energy mood πŸ™‚

January3: Turquoise: I was thinking about vacations and was feeling a little blue…

Did you noticed how I joined my squares?

I joined them after a 90deg rotation of each one… I love the idea of having a patchwork of crochet in the end πŸ˜‰

I prepared a sheet and decided to make a blanket of 360 squares like you can see on this paper:

I will crochet 30 squares each month. When the month is 31 days I’ll have a free day πŸ˜‰

I’ve already crocheted january 1, 2 and 3…

I’ll keep this sheet in my everyday filofax πŸ™‚

mood-crochet-blanket-2014-3

I’ll use yarn from my stash – mostly leftovers πŸ™‚ and pick up the color each evening depending on how was my day …

I hope that this blanket end 2014 will be full of bright and happy colors πŸ˜‰

So, my friends, did you like this wonderful idea? Would you like to join the fun?

Come on! grap your hook and crochet a square…(It can be any square you want…a granny…african flower…a square you love in particular)

Each square took me 7 minutes with the joining part…7 little minutes per day for crochet all over the year…It is easy to do… and the result will be a cherished blanket with a full year of memories behind each small part of it πŸ˜€

So? Are you still thinking? We are already more than 1000 crocheters around the world…

A beautiful worldwide crochet-along πŸ™‚

And we are waiting for you to join πŸ˜‰

Happy day to all!

Kisses

December

There is something I don’t love about December… It is the stress behind this season… The stress sometimes takes out all the beautiful mood you should be feeling in this holy season… I am a “routine” kind of person… I love my every-day and try to just live the moment… Every year I tell myself I should begin early with the Christmas preparations so I don’t stress and stress all my family…

So, this year, I began early …

The house is already on Christmas mode…

The tree is up…

The gifts are (almost) ready and packed…

There is good chocolate in every corner…

5

Every single detail is pretty organised in my beloved yellow filofax…

6

I am even finding some time to crochet…

7

and add some squares to the granny blanket which is slowly but surely growing πŸ™‚ (Will it become a bedspread?)

8

I have even picked up an old wip and I’m falling in love with it all over again…

9

So, my friend, this year, I am trying to relax and just enjoy this holy season without stress…

10

And I wish you the same πŸ™‚

Relax, take it easy and have a beautiful warm week filled with joy, laugher and Christmas spirit.

BIG BIG Kisses
