Although it's for beginners, I think we can all benefit from your organized way of doing it. And, by the way, thank you for the tip about Weather Underground. I looked at it, and it's fairly easy to use. I think I am an advanced crocheter, but I must say, I absolutely enjoy your channel and your lively personality. Looking forward to your next video.

Hi Cecilia! Thank you so much for the kind words, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video.❤️

January 5 2024: This is so brilliant and organized. New to temperature blanket with another video, then came across yours with the organization and tips. I purchased the pdf and will be doing 6 from previous years. Three for each of my adult children and three for grandchildren. Appreciate your organization for what could have been very frustrating.

I’m totally impressed by your organization. Ok, so perhaps impressed isn’t the right word… How about I’m completely unfamiliar with this level of organization in my life 🤣. Ah geez. In my more than 60 years this is always my dream. In my defense, and I need one, - I’d never get anything accomplished if I started to organize first, hehe. Truly, you are amazing and I bow to you. Seriously 🥰

Did my first (and only) one for my first year of dating my bf. Now prepping for doing one for our upcoming first year of marriage (while currently working on a wedding quilt smh), and planning a 30yr anniversary one for my parents.

I only found out about these recently and I thought it would take too long for me to make a blanket for an entire YEAR, but I adore the idea and I think I'll give it a try. Another idea that came to mind was a mood blanket, figuring out the average mood I had every week and putting it in colour and/or texture to see what I'm typically like every week, and yeah, I think I'll try that

Nice to meet you! I am a local to you, as I am in Durham, NC and I love crocheting. I have been researching how to make a temperature blanket and you have given me the perfect idea. To make a blanket to represent my birth year. This will be so interesting in my project box. This will be my first. Thank you so much for sharing your information. I will let you know when I get started and how I am doing.

So organized!!!

Great explanation! I like your colors and pattern too. 😀

Very help information, thank you

I'm doing one based on drawing daily tarot cards for 2024!!! It's gonna be a lot more random than temperature and I have 10 colors from browns, purples and greens in muted shades. I have 5 different categories for the cards: Major Arcana, Suit of Swords, Wands, Pentacles and Cups, and since you can read Tarot cards upright and reversed that gives me 10 colors in total. It's gonna be gorgeous!! I also decided to do different stitches for different card groups: 0-10 Major Arcana, 11-22 Major Arcana, Ace-5, 6-10 and Page-King. This way I have 5 different stitches to add a bit interest into the project and also have a more accurate documentation of the cards I drew over the year!!

Looks like a project I would enjoy.

I'm planning on making a granny square temperature blanket starting next year. I'm starting next year because it's going to be my last full year in the state I'm living in before I move away for collage. I'll defindently need this blanket because the temperature change is going to be DRASTIC.

Where I live in London, UK there are not so many wool stores or craftstores. If there were craftstores like the ones you have in the US I'd be in them practically all day everyday, even if I don't have any money. You guys are sooooo lucky!!!!!!

My favorite color is blue. I so enjoyed yourr video with such clear cut instructions. However, I am a little confused on how to do the contrast color for special dates. I am so excited to start my temperature blanket. Thank you!

Asking one next year

I have my colors, have a basic chart I'll adjust if need be in October, I track each day in a document color coded so when I work on it it'll be easy going I still need to pick out my pattern and buy the yarn

It’s the beginning of march and I’ve just started my blanket so I’ve got some catching up to do. I’m almost done with January WHEN I NOTICED I WASNT TRACKING MY PREFERRED CITY. I was seriously about to cry until I realized that my city is basically lumped in with the one I was tracking. We are essentially the same city and use the same weather forecasting. I’m just on the outskirts of the capitol city of my state. Where I live feels so much different than the big city we are neighboring so I never equate the two temperature-wise but I guess we really are that similar. So blanket is not ruined. I can continue😓

I'm in Shelby, NC area! Yeah Carolina Girl!

This looks great! I really want to make this but I think I may have to go every five degrees for my gauge. I live in Southern California and we don't get... weather ☺️

Hi! I'm a new subscriber, I found your pumpkin tutorial & made it a few months ago! I learned of temperature blankets a while back & am going to start one on new years day! I've got my yarn & stitch picked out, but I'm having trouble deciding on the size. I saw one lady who ended up with an 11 foot rectangle blanket, I'm kind of wanting it smaller than that, if possible, lol. One place I saw said to make a chain of 350, for a somewhat proportional blanket. Could you give some advice on size/number to chain? Thanks!!

..I’m using that black & white flowery notebook for my crochet stuff-

How about a birthday blanket by recording the temps for the same day (birthday) for each year. I think this would be fun for a senior.

I live in the Midwest and I’m super excited to see how all over the place my blanket looks at the end of the year it can be 50 one day and 5 the next

Very American based, but still some useful tips for us European (and other Celsius based) crafters. Thanks!

When that happens, it's usually because the equipment crashed at a crucial time here. We have heatwaves and the equipment is sensitive. However, I am planning two. 2022 and my boys birth year- 2020. The town I'm from is a range from about -3 to about 40 degrees Celsius. Some just over that 40 degree Celcius mark

This is awesome! How many chains do you need for the temperature blanket?

Hi. Do you think using a calendar can be easier. You can do the same as a book. What do you think.

Why not just do it in say, different shades of greens? Just cool greens to warm greens? Or any other shade or colors? There's no "rule" that says you MUST use yellow and orange.😶

I'm very interested in making a Temperature Blanket. The problem is we live in beautiful Carpinteria CA, on the Coast inland from the Islands. So our weather is very sheltered and it has stayed in the 60-70 degrees for the last two months. Unless I assigned different colors each degree my quilt would be all the same color.

I really love all the tips that you give for this project. I really want to try this project but I am in Hawaii and we don't fluctuate much in weather esp where I live. I live on a drier side of the island so I don't get much rain. I think I would need to go by 3 or 4 increments do I have a nice variety of colors to assign to them. I have about 6 months to catch up on. I'm not sure what I should follow in lows or highs or the avg temperature of the day. My lows are like 65 to 68 and my highs are 80 to 88 roughly. How would you recommend in the way to track this?

Does anyone ever do one row for daily high and a row for daily low? So, two rows per day. And I was thinking a row of white between months. Any suggestions?

@JustBeCrafty

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Anna! Thats a great idea to do two rows per day. Depending on your gauge and thickness of yarn you'd might want to consider doing a 6 month timeframe blanket as two rows per day for the whole year would add up to a very lengthy blanket (365 rows X 2, plus any month separator rows) but I encourage you to make your temperature blanket your own, and make it however you envision!❤️

@bobbie-blu

2 жыл бұрын

You could do the high and low for each day on one row by splitting the row in half. E.g. if your blanket was 100 stitches do 50 for high 50 for low making sure to always keep to the correct side of the blanket for each temp. That way you get a nice sized blanket with a different effect but all the colours will still coordinate nicely.

I’d make it to match a blanket that fits the bed, such as twin, full, queen, king. Most online stores will give the measurements of the blankets they sell…or measure your bed & decide how far you want it to hang over the sides. Or, it could be a sofa throw.

What if the temperature doesn’t change much. Throughout the year my temperature is between 28-30 C

@JustBeCrafty

Жыл бұрын

Oh wow, I'm so jealous! Hmm, you could do 3 colors with your temperature ranges being each 1 degree. You could also add in weather conditions, such as rain, storms, and dry days as well. Another idea would be to pick a different set of 3 colors for each month to change up the colors too. So for instance: February - 28 degrees = pink - 29 degrees = purple - 30 degrees = red March -28 degrees = blue -29 degrees = green - 30 degrees = aqua And then, each month could be separated by a main color, like white or another neutral of your choice. I hope this helps with inspiration for your blanket!
