The striping patterns created on these two blankets are derived from the chat history between my best friend and myself. Blue yarns indicate them sending a message to me, grey yarns indicate me sending a message to them, and white yarns note that change of the day. The paper strips show a visual of the message patterns I collected reviewing  our conversations.
