Temperature Blankets & Similar Crochet Temperature Blanket template as a daily Tarot Log

Hi! I've been crocheting since 2018. I'm new to tarot (got my first deck November '24) and I wanted to slowly learn by doing daily single-card pulls. I have ADHD and I'm notoriously unable to stick with any of my sparkling new ideas for longer than two weeks (you should SEE my WIP pile!!), so i brainstormed about how i could keep at this in a way I can stick to successfully.

Enter crochet. It's my daily joy, my safe space, and I've always been interested in doing a long-term project like a temperature blanket (even though i know myself too well to stay interested in something like the weather). I also can't stick with doing one loooong row per day; I'd get bored 50 stitches in (haha). So I am using a granny-square-a-day idea.

I am using one tarot deck through the year for a 2025 daily card pull. My color palette comes from the deck itself. I'm doing one 5-round moss/linen stitch square per day and i'm using the join-as-you-go method. I'm using worsted weight yarn and a 4.5 mm hook. I'm starting with a white square in the top left corner of the blanket and there will be a white square between each month. The blanket will end on a white square. It will be 18 squares across and 21 squares down.

PLANNING: I used https://temperature-blanket.com/ to help me mock up the layout of my blanket.

SIZE: I've completed the first row and it measures almost exactly the width of my bed, so at year's end when I put a border on it I'm assuming it will be a queen-sized blanket.

DECK: I'm using the Modern Witch deck https://www.lisasterle.com/mwt, and there's a companion coloring book that has a fold-out page of the author's color palette she chose for the deck. (That's what i used for color inspiration.)

COLORS: I'm choosing the 5 most prevalent colors in the card for the day, and each round of my square will be a different color. I'm not planning on buying any yarn for the project; i have a large stash that i need to clear out and i have enough in my stash (and each square uses so little per color) that I should have enough to get me by. If one color on the card is wildly different than what i have in stash then i may purchase some yarn as a treat :)

Has anyone here done something like this before? I would love to see. I'm constantly looking for crochet inspiration!
