Temperature Blanket

 Temperature Blanket

Still knitting the temperature blanket.

It's been 6 months so it is half done.

I decided to end the blanket at this half way point.

and start another one for the second half of the year.

This way I'll have two throws instead of one long blanket.

Don't know what a Temperature Blanket is?

Found out HERE.

Temperature Blanket

I'm making a Temperature Blanket this year.

Never heard of this until my friend Mikie told me about it.

She's making one this year too.

A Temperature Blanket is like journaling, but with yarn!

Each day, you record the high temperature or low if you prefer and knit two rows

 in a color that corresponds to that range. 

At the end of the year I'll have a colorful, one-of-a-kind blanket. 

I'm getting a late start so have written down the high temperatures for each

day since January 1.

The yarn I'm using is Premier Everyday DK

number 3 which is light weight.

A little white blanket

 I starting knitting this small white blanket a while ago

and worked on it today for a while.

Would like to get it finished.

It is supposed to be a baby blanket but I'm knitting it for myself

and plan to put it on the back of my moms old rocking chair that

I have in the living room.

Will post the pattern when I post a picture of the

finished blanket.

Hopefully it won't be TOO long from now.
