Biemans went to the store and selected yarn colors that she thought looked nice together and found appealing. She decided to make flowers using her favorite colors to represent her most common daily poop frequencies: blue for one poop a day, green for two, orange for three, yellow for four, brown for five and pink for six.

“My favorite color is my orange for three poops,” she tells PEOPLE exclusively. “That’s why I picked it for the three, because I feel like three poops a day is one of the most common for me.”

From there, she began the project. Although she didn’t officially start until Jan. 20, she was able to catch up quickly and track her bowel movements from the start of the year. She says she tracks her poop daily each week and then transfers the data into an Excel sheet to create a color grid.

“It doesn’t take me very long to make them, maybe an hour or two,” she adds. “Each flower probably takes me 10 to 20 minutes, and I’m slow — connecting them slows me down the most.”

“Right now, I’m up to March 8,” she continues. “My most proud flower is probably the one-off six-poop day — it’s a pretty pink from Jan. 18.”

Not long into her project, Biemans decided to film a video of her creation forTikTok. She says she talks about pooping a lot in real life, and was proud of her progress on how the flowers were turning out, so she wanted to share it online.

“There’s an option for 6 poops??! A day?!!!!,” one user commented.

“As someone who’s chronically constipated, I envy you so much 😭,” another person wrote.

Someone else said, “I’d need a 0 or I wouldn’t have a blanket 😂.”

“I just think it’s pretty funny to be honest,” she continues. “I talk about my poop a lot in real life, and I think my partner and friends were starting to get annoyed. So, this is a very validating and needed experience.”

“A ton of strangers talking about my poop habits is both equally hilarious and awkward,” she adds.

Looking back, Biemans recalls how when she first brought up the blanket idea to her friends, one of her good peers, D, loved the thought and joined in on making one too. She hopes that since posting the idea on TikTok, others have seen her video and been inspired to make their own poop blankets.

At the moment, she has no specific plans for the blanket once the year is done. She says she’ll revisit the idea closer to the end of December when it’s nearly finished.

“I’ll probably wrap it up but continue talking about my poop in many other ways,” she hints.
