🌡#stitchghan temperature blanket : January - December recorded. 🤗❤

This is an experiment using stitches to represent temperature averages rather than color. Now to decide what sort of border to add. 🙄

The best thing about this crochet experiment is definitely cost. Working with only one color, my current investment is less than three jumbo skeins. And there's no ends to weave from color changes! Actually, that may be the best thing about this experiment. 😂

Guess what? I finished this monster yesterday! So much time, effort and yarn went into this. But I'm so proud of having it finished!

The weather last year was stressful though! Having to buy extra colours because it got hotter then it has been in a long time or ever resulting in higher high averages then I had planned for. But also having to buy more of the dark yellow and green because they were used so much both for high and low averages

But hey, I got it done! 💪 This is by far the largest, most time and yarn consuming project I have ever made to date. 

I have also learned a few things, like that my tension is different when I’m extremely stressed (beginning of the year) as opposed to being less stressed 

Tempghan, Week Three!

I tried to post this yesterday but tumblr ate it (of course). It’s been cold, cold enough for magenta, and more purple and dark blue. It’s getting more and more like it’s gonna be a blanket one day, which yay! I started weaving in the ends and thank god, gotta stay on top of that, because two weeks took about an hour and a half.

January Tempghan Update

Well. It’s not all of January, obviously, because I had to frog and start over. I also need to frog the last row you see there because I accidentally knit the wrong day (deep sigh).

I know I was really looking forward to monthly updates but this one feels really shitty. I am liking it much better with the borders between panels and it is worth it, but. Man it sucks.

January had a huge temperature range, from a low of 6f to a high of 67f. The lows change the most, which is interesting, I’m curious why but don’t have a clue. There have been days with huge ranges and days with virtually none. The largest number of days where at least one panel didn’t change color was six days, which is an awful lot. You’re supposed to be able to see all of that but of course you can’t and I’m going to stop here before I start crying.

Well that’s it, folks. Four weeks of tempghan frogged, all over four stitches.

Almost there - yay! Just another couple days to average temps for the last week of December! 🤗❤ Thanks @marybegone prompting for an update on this year-long WIP!

So, whatcha think: maybe a color legend made of tassels? 🙄
