A granny square a day in 2014

I've attempted something like this before (my project 52 photo challenge back in 2011) and actually succeeded so it gives me hope that I can actually accomplish this too. Mummy_stacey on instagram put out a challenge to make a granny a day (or a week) in 2014 in colors based on your mood. So at the end of the year, you'll have a nice big blanket! Click on her instagram name for more info and rules.
I'm going to do a patchwork color scheme with a few multi colored squares mixed in.
Here's my color scheme: (Yarn is Deborah Norville Everyday Solids from Joann's)

And here's my mood chart from left to right:
Glass blue: Calm/chill
Mustard: Happy/lovey
White: will just be the border color
Kiwi: Silly/dorky
Cherry: Crazed/angry
Navy: Anxious/grumpy
Peacock: Lazy/bored
Camel: Indifferent
Mixed color: Creative

So who's in? Are you going to do one a day for 365 squares or 1 a week for 52? If I don't end up doing one a day, I'll probably just end up making big ones once a week. I don't want to fail!

    I am doing this also! I'm planning on doing 1 a day but only small ones probably 3 or 4 rows :)
    Happy New Year!

    This is such an awesome idea! Good luck :) I think my coblogger Hayley might attempt it too.... I have too many other projects lined up or I would totally join! :)

    I attempted a 365 granny square project last year and failed miserably. This year though, I'm doing a 52 week granny square project. I have so much scrap yarn that I need to use up that this will be the perfect project for that.

    Good luck with your project! I can't wait to see the end result. :D

    I did a search for 365 Granny Squares a day in 2014 and found you. I am totally doing this! I made my first four already!

    I'm not quite that ambitious yet, but I am doing 2 daily temperatures scarves. I have for highs and one for lows, one row a day on each.
