My temperature blanket (layout)

Neat idea!

I had the grand idea in 2015 to knit a scarf using the colors of my favorite college football teams. I would use the scores from their games that year... one of their colors being my team, the other color for my team would represent the opposing teams. For instance scarlet/gray for Ohio State... scarlet for OSU, gray for opponents. I just tracked the scores during the season. I have 2 teams I am a big fan of. The scarf for one team would have been 660 rows. The other team 692 rows. Needless to say, I never did either one. And, I was just going to do a straight garter stitch since I'm not a very accomplished knitter!

 

thanks so much for the explanation! you would have to be very dedicated i imagine to tracking the highs and lows ! i don't think Australia would have such colour variation but what wonderful way to visually track global warming over the years too

 

That is seriously cool (and warm )! I love it!! What a great project!

 

I so love this! I have seen these before and have always wanted to do one. I thought about it for this year, but I currently have three other crochet blankets in progress I love the corner to corner... I've never attempted one before. Have you done one before this? I like to learn new things with crochet, but they have to keep fairly simple or I won't do it.

Ooooohhhh.... your beautiful examples are so tempting me to start one!!!

 

Wow, beautiful, thanks for the explanation and the photos of them both. I think having a pink stripe in the middle of Winter would seriously impact my OCD.

 

This is so pretty and makes me want to learn how so I can try! I think @Karen has done one too... I might be mixing it up with her square a day or something.

 

I love this so much! If you travel, do you use the high temperature of the place you travel to or home?

My daughter knows a little bit wants to learn more. I knew how to crochet years ago but haven’t in a long time. This might be really fun to do together.

 

I actually haven't done a temperature one yet. I remember when Angie did the first one and I thought about it then, but I didn't start on Jan 1st and then of course just gave up. I really love the idea of doing just a certain number of stitches each day and I really love the C2C method... which is also something I haven't tried yet either. Hmm... maybe next year?

 

@Angie4b1g Now you've done it! I've spent the morning lining up my yarn stash so I can start one too! I finally think I have a color combo I like and I've started a little notebook with temps in it!

 

This is such a cool idea! I may have to work on my crochet skills and try one.

 

I'd never heard of this before....how interesting! I love the idea.

 

They are so gorgeous! I love seeing the temperature blankets.
I laughed at the 90+. That pointed out how each weather sector is different! 90+ would be mine from end of May though August! But at least it's be easy.....

 

That's so cool! I love the look of the corner to corner one you've started. I'd never heard of a temperature before, but now I'm tempted, too! Trying to talk myself out of it...must not take on a new yearlong project!

 

That is so cool! I'd have to learn how to knit or crochet first. haha!

 

That is so cool! I love your blanket!
