Temperataure Blanket

At last I come to the end of knitting the temperature blanket.

It's been fun but I'm glad it is over.

 

I made two because one was getting too big.

First one is Jan through Jun. 

The second is July through Dec.

Here are the two of them

First one I knitted the whole thing.

Second one I knitted a row and then purled a row.

The plain knitted one is a bit smaller than the other.

You can read about the idea of the Temperature Blanket.

HERE. 

Also the temperature range colors that I used.

Never used the brightest red which was the hottest and only

one day of the the other red.

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.

Cast on 242 stitches and knit the first row on the first day.

I'm doing my blanket for the whole year, but you can do any amount of time you want.

I started on Friday and have just finished up day 16.
