Remember mood rings? They used to change colour and whatever it changed to told you what mood you were in? Mine was always that blue green colour, or dark blue. Either way, according to that ring I was always in a good mood. Sure mood ring, you keep telling me that.
Right about now you're likely thinking, what on earth does this have to do with crochet?! Well, I was stumbling around online the other day, likely Facebook or Pinterest, and I found this totally amazing concept! A Crochet Mood Blanket! What an awesome idea! How come I can never come up with these things? It was actually started by Stacey Wentworth Hall. What a genius!
So, how do you make one? The rules are super easy, just crochet a square or stripe each day to reflect the mood you're in. Didn't I just tell you how to make a granny square on Tuesday? Now you know why!
First things first, you need to pick the colours you'd like to match the mood you may be feeling. Now, if you're anything like me, this first step is... not difficult, but it can be time consuming. I mean , come on... there's so many colours! Not to mention how many moods I can go through in the span of 5 minutes, let alone a whole day! Here is what I came up with. I figure that I can add colours that aren't listed if I'm having a day where I feel something strongly i.e. pride (for one of my kids).
