#crochetuk#crochetprojects2024 Thanks to the crochet groups I'm in on Facebook I've decided on a year long crochet project 🙈 a temperature blanket! I just need to decide on how wide I should make it & which time of day to take the temperature from. Skull squares are for a scarf for my eldest, which I think will also be a 2024 project because I'm not quick enough to finish it in 2023.
My biggest and neatest project to date! This is a gift for my cousin. We lost my uncle (her dad) at the end of 2022, this is a temperature blanket featuring the low & high temperature for each day in January 1954 (his birth year) blues & white chosen because he (and my cousin too) are big Everton FC supporters.
My fingers were itchy to start something new once I'd finished my last scarf project, so here we go again ... This time a temperature scarf for my year of birth, different colour scale to my ongoing temperature blanket for 2024. This is January of 1984, only 12 months to go 🙈 #crochetuk#CrochetAdventures
Another #CrochetAdventure update. This is a temperature scarf using historical temperatures from my year of birth! This is January through to the end of May! So June - December still to do.
Another completed project! My historical temperature scarf for my year of birth. This measures 11ft 6inches long, which now means I know exactly how long my 2024 temperature blanket will be because I'm doing that in the same stitch as the scarf.
Well the scarf for my eldest is finished another #CrochetAdventure completed! I immediately began something else because it's addictive, we are going to be drowning in crochet projects eventually! 😅 #crochetuk
It begins ... Temperature Blanket 2024, Day 1. I won't share everyday, maybe weekly after today. I'm going with the 'feels like' temperature on my weather app, so today was 3°c when I woke up, that's the blue line. The grey is just a base row and I'll end with a grey row too. #Crochet#crochetuk#crochetproject#TemperatureBlanket
@RomanticIsa half double-crochet (US terms not UK, not sure how I ended up learning in American 😅), in the back loop only so it will be ribbed. I am prepared for it to be gigantic but I'm actually quite excited for that. Love a big blanket for the bed!
Week one of my temperature blanket is done. Because I'm crocheting back loops only I'm getting not only a nice ribbed effect but also a different colour presentation on each side. I think for some that might miss the point of a temperature blanket but I'm really enjoying it #crochetuk#CrochetAdvetures
@MPBJulie thank you ☺️ me too, I've also found a place I can get historical temperatures and I'm going to make some birth year ones too! Though maybe they will be a tad smaller than this one 😅
@followingfloss that sounds amazing. I was thinking of doing a cross stitch one this year. But have got myself involved in a year long stitch along project lol.
@MPBJulie oh that looks amazing! I love the idea of and looking at completed cross stitch projects but I've never quite got the hang of it. Which probably isn't a bad thing because I'd likely just cross stitch cats and the house would be covered in what I'd made 😅
Temperature blanket week 2 complete ✅ coming along nicely although will be glad to move onto a colour that isn't blue 😅 also had to include white unexpectedly as we went a bit colder than I anticipated ❄️ #crochetuk
#CrochetAdvebture update. Week 3 of the temperature blanket is complete! At the end of each week I think it doesn't look much different & then I see the previous weeks photo on here & it's great to see the progression! So excited to see the end result!
Two months of crocheting a row a day in relation to the 'feels like' temperature of my weather app. Due to the stitch I've chosen to use I'm getting a different colour variation on each side. One features odd days of the month & the other even. An estimate on length today shows it's like to be around the 10ft mark when I'm done!!
@Swirly thank you ☺️ it's a bit bigger now, I'm going to share another picture once we've hit the end of March. Yes all good here thank you, hope things are well at your end too 💖
3 months of my temperature blanket done! Due to the stitch I've chosen to use I'm getting a different colour variation on each side. One features odd days of the month & the other even. January at the top, moving down to March on the sofa seats.
4 months into my temperature blanket and it's now a third of the size it will eventually be. Lots of folks in the temperature blanket group I'm in on F'book are panicking about how big their blanket will be but I'm super excited to have a ridiculously giant blanket hanging around 😅
5 months of my 2024 temperature blanket done. It's getting so big it's hard to photograph, but almost halfway through and I'm still enjoying the project so it's all worth the effort.
@followingfloss Oh cool! I made a temperature blanket a few years ago and it’s so much fun! I didn’t crochet a row every day though so I just used a temperature chart for the month which I think gave me the midday temperature of that particular day.
@RomanticIsa yours sounds like a sensible approach. I've read through lots of people saying what they thought worked well for theirs & also what didn't & I've still decided to embark on what will likely be a massive blanket 😅 a row a day using the 'feels like' temperature on my weather app, which I think will give me a good variety of colour. On day 1 I'm very excited by the project let's see how I feel at the end of the year though 🙈😝
