365 Afghan Project Update

  
Remember back in January when I mentioned that I was starting a 365 project? My goal was to crochet one granny square each day this year to have an amazing blanket by the end of the year. So for, it's going great! That is until I ran out of black yarn... yeah.

I'm not letting that slight detail stop me, though! Since I haven't had a chance to get to a craft store, I've kept on crocheting. My little pile of squares is slowly starting to build. I can't wait to finally get my hands on some black yarn and attach all the new pieces together. You guys, this afghan is going to be ginormousssss. It's awesome!

I'm happy that this project is still going strong and I loooove the way it's turning out. I can't wait to have this special blanket to remember this very special year.




 

One Square Per Day

  
2014 is going to be a good year. Even though I'm sure everyone was thinking the same thing as the ball was dropping at midnight on New Year's Eve, this year is going to be extra special for me. Between my wedding (exactly four months from today!!!), my cousin's wedding (I'm the maid of honor), living in my dream home, and all the other things I'm blessed with, 2014 is looking like one for the books.

Through Instagram, I noticed a few "everyday" projects starting up on January 1st. One in particular stood out to me. Haley started crocheting a granny square afghan. Her goal was to crochet one square per day and by the end of the year she would have an entire blanket. I loved this!! I loved the idea of having a very special handmade afghan to commemorate this amazing year, so I grabbed a crochet hook, some yarn, and a youtube video and started this very special 365 project.

I am definitely no crochet expert but I think I'm getting the hang of it! Don't look too closely, but I really think it's looking great. So far there are 31 squares. The key to this project is that I don't go crazy about getting one square done each day. Some days I do none, other days I do several. Overall, I knew my goal was to have 31 done by the end of January and 31 I did!


Are you working on any 365 projects?
