Crochet Mood Blanket 2014

It's finally time to make a crochet blanket! This is the first time I'm trying such a big (really big) project and I'm actually pretty excited! I have been thinking about making a blanket since last year and this year I finally took the decision to start! Yay! :)

Actually I'm participating in a crochet-a-long through Instagram this year to make a crochet mood blanket, you can find a lot of info about it through @mummy_stacey's profile. You can also join the facebook group and post your progress using the #crochetmoodblanket2014 tag. You can participate any way that you like, I'm going to be making a square for every single day this year! Each day I'll be making a square that shows what mood I'm feeling.

For my square, I'm using a simple pattern based on the Copenhagen Pillow Crochet Pattern by Yvestown! I'm joining the squares as I go and I'm using a 4.00mm hook and soft acrylic yarn! I'm also planning on making some kind of a border around it! I still have not decided on that but I think I will find something I like!

Have you ever crocheted a blanket? Are you participating in this awesome challenge?
Have a wonderful day!
