Well, today is much like yesterday. I saw snow in the air, but weather.com isn’t claiming any, so I won’t either. I found this to be one of the hardest parts of the blanket: tracking the weather. It’s easy to find what the current weather conditions are and what the forecast is, but it’s harder… Continue reading Tracking the Weather
It’s a new year. It’s a new project: Temperature blanket 2018. In my previous posts, I’ve outlined how the blanket works. I do a square for each day of the year which corresponds to the high temperature. I decided to make mine a little more complicated. The middle circle is white because we got some… Continue reading Day 1: Temperature Blanket
MY YARN ARRIVED!!! I couldn’t be more excited unless it was January 1 and I could actually start this thing. There have been many questions about how this is going to work. First of all, I have assigned every color to a range of temperatures, assuming this area has temps from 0-100 degrees Fahrenheit. It… Continue reading Temperature Blanket Part 2
Hook, line, and sinker. I took the word of a this book that told me I could finish a blanket in a weekend. Maybe someone can. I think this blanket took me 25+ hours.

I’ve… Continue reading 2018 Temperature Blanket

This is the October box. This yarn is beautiful and the style is so me! Happy Yarn Mail comes… Continue reading Pom Pom Slouchy Hat
It’s too late to start new Christmas presents (maybe), and I finished my crocheting for the blanket bee (most likely), so I turned my attention back to the Crochet One-Skein Wonders book. This is actually the second new project I’ve done from the book in the past week, but the first one I’ve finished. After… Continue reading One-Skein Wonders: Easy-to-wear Cowl
I posted about Scarf 10, and was so excited to have completed my challenge, that I didn’t realize I never posted about Scarves 8 & 9. Here goes. Scarf 8 was a simple chevron in fun fall colors.

I finally turned my attention away from blankets tonight. I’ve called in the cavalry, in a manner of speaking, and have started collecting the blankets. They’ll be donated to the pregnancy center after Thanksgiving. I found this pattern on Pinterest and have been wanting to try it for a while. It is a paid pattern… Continue reading Scarf #10: Sunny Triangle Scarf
