April Inspiration

By
Good Morning everyone!!!!
I am super excited to tell you about the next 30 days here at Crochet Chiq! I am been watching #moodblanket posts on my twitter and instagram feed and I have been inspired, For those that don't know mood blankets are made by crocheting 1 square a day depending on you mood and at the end of the year you have an awesome blanket!!! 

I want to do something quicker than that :) I am going to be making 6-7 inch squares Monday-Saturday this month and then add an edging and joining on Sundays! I will be using colors in Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice line. I will use all sorts of hook sizes to get which ever stitch to the size I need. I also want to do more of a inspiration type square for example below is a photo of my first day's square
When my boyfriend wanted to go out for pasta I knew I had these exact shades!

I will link every square to this post and I will be posting daily! Are you excited? Do you want to crochet your own #aprilinspiration blanket?
