Hello everyone!
I do hope 2025 has found you well so far, even if we are only a couple of days in.
I thought at the end of 2025 we might all reflect on how our year has been in by making a mood blanket.
Temperature blankets have been very popular for a few years now, so I though it might be nice to do a year long blanket based on something different. Our moods.
I have put together a chart - of course you can choose your own colours and your own criteria for what colours you pick, but this can be inspiration for you.
Each colour has three emotions or feelings attached to it, so you can pick one and select the corresponding colour.
You don't need to work on this every night as the links are relatively quick to make, but do keep a note on your phone or a notepad about how you've generally been feeling each day.
This blanket is based on 28 chain link loops - 28 links x 12 months works well as a size and you can use the remaining days of the month to edge and join your strips. I am using one of my favourite designs which I use to stash bust, and I really quite excited to see how it turns out!
I will be using Stylecraft Special DK yarn and will post my own colour choices soon. I would suggest you choose a different shade or colour from those that you are using for your 'moods' for the edging.
So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is watch this video and produce a length of 28 strips by the end of the month... I will be back before then with updates and progress reports before then - and you can always follow what I am doing on my Instagram .
In a nutshell you will be making 28 links per month for 12 months, then edging the chain links before joining - all those instructions will follow, don't worry, but for now you can get started on your link :)
Please do tag me in any posts on Facebook or Instagram as I will be delighted to see your progress, and do get in touch if there are any questions.
Chat soon, and HAPPY HOOKING!
