Square One

In a lot of ways, this year is like starting on square one for me. It's a new year with new challenges but I optimistically believe that the opportunities will far outweigh the challenges. As such, I've decided to try to create a crochet blanket out of 365 squares. One a day for every day this year. No particular pattern, no particular color, no plan-- just crochet.

Here I'll record the square of the day and the color and pattern I invented. If I can, I'll try to sum up the square in one descriptive word to match my feelings for that day. At the end of the year, I believe we'll see that the positive squares outweigh the negative, but either way, it'll be the year in squares. One day at a time, one square at a time.

Oswald is very interested in this project so he's decided to dive in head first as my yarn body guard... Or something. 

Today is January 2nd but I made a square yesterday so I'll start with that one and today will have two posts.
