Workin on a granny square blanket

I started working on this portable project while I was away on business. It's going to be a seven color granny square blanket.

Find the pattern that I am using here: Jo-Ann 8 Color Afghan

I am just changing mine for use with 7 colors. But the square pattern is the same.

Here are some photos:

Thanks for taking a look

Granny Sqaure Blanket - WIP 6 of 30

Started this while on my business trip. Easily portable and can finish one square or two in one sitting. So it's perfect for winding down at the hotel. This will be for sale soon in my Etsy Shop: AntiJolly.

#crochetmoodblanket2014 - 2nd Friday - not as planned, that's for sure

So, last week I realized that I was making a huge mistake reading the chevron pattern and ended up with a wonky looking edge.  That made me cut my yarn and start with a new plan.  Maybe a plan that would allow me to more control the colors to make this something that I will love to see and use!

Here is my new color plan: (I have room for one more if I need it)

This however has set me back.  Today I should be on day 10 but I am on day 5 trying to catch up instead.  Not at all discouraged since this new blanket is by far better then the last:

Here is what my colors represent so far:

Row 1 - Country Blue - New Beginning - Happy New Year
Row 2 - Soft Blue -Happy - busy and productive day
Row 3 - Pagoda - Creative - finished the Olaf Hat
Row 4 - Forest Floor - Moody - visit to family with the little in a house that has a lot of breakables
Row 5 - Forest Floor - Moody - up and down moods

Got One row done tonight. I started with white for a clean slate for the New Year. The goal is to do one row everyday in a color that reminds you of your mood for the day. At the end you have a beautiful Calendar of your year that will keep you warm forever!

I can't believe how many people are getting in on this and is so cool that people are doing two or more for their loved ones so they can have matching blankets.  Very cool to be a part of it!
