Compared to last year, my first three days of my new blanket are tiny. It honestly took me longer to sew in my ends than it did to crochet it. Here in Western Pennsylvania, we started the New Year with temps in the 60s. That yellow at the center of the square is unlikely to… Continue reading Happy New Temperature Blanket!
I’ve stalled on my 2018 Temperature Blanket again as I wait for more yarn to arrive in the mail. The problem with never having done it before is that I didn’t know how much yarn I would need. Obviously, more than I thought! So, since I am waiting, I took the opportunity to work through… Continue reading Temperature Blanket 2019: The Pattern
Are you one of those people who won’t start a second project until you finish the first one? I’m not one of those people. I don’t even know if I know any of those people. I haven’t finished my 2018 Temperature Blanket yet. I had to wait on a yarn reorder before finishing, and I’m… Continue reading Introducing the 2019 Temperature Blanket
I have less than an hour to write this post before it is a lie! I am all caught up on my Temperature Blanket. I just finished the square for August 10. The thing about this blanket is that I’m always a day behind. I can’t chart the weather until I know the weather, so… Continue reading All Caught Up!
A couple of days ago, the temperature hit 91 degrees. That’s turn the air conditioner hot, and the humidity has been insane. But I’m ok with 91 because it meant I got to use a new color in my blanket: hot pink. It goes so nicely with the yellow center that it looks just like… Continue reading April Showers Bring May Flowers – A New Hue
I sat down the other evening to track a week’s worth of weather for my temperature blanket. I logged on to my computer, found the monthly weather view and wrote it down. I really couldn’t remember it being 66 degrees and snowy on my daughter’s birthday, but the computer said it was 66 and I… Continue reading A Beautiful Oops
Weaving in ends (A poem with a nod to Dr. Seuss) Weave in ends, weave in ends, I do not like weaving in ends. I will not weave them here or there I will not weave them anywhere. I do not like weaving in ends. I do not like it no matter when. Try it?… Continue reading In Like a Lion – March 2018 Temperature Blanket
I have a friend who is a knitter. I want to introduce her to you through a project she did last year. Her name is Diana and she knit a Sky Scarf. I wanted to share this for those of you who might be intimidated by the Temperature Blanket and the complexity of it. She… Continue reading The Sky Scarf
It’s the 5th day of March and I’m finally getting around to updating the Temperature Blanket. Actually, I’m going to be proud of myself for even being this close to up-to-date. I hate to think of how far I’ll lag behind as the year goes on. I also didn’t want to post pictures on the… Continue reading Fluctuating February
I used to be one of those people who couldn’t read more than one book at a time. I wanted to enjoy the book from beginning to end and not muddle the story with another work. Alas. While I still prefer that method for books, I have a pile of crochet projects awaiting finishing. These… Continue reading Works-s-s-s in Progress
