Hello, dear readers!
Sitting here looking out at my snow-covered lavender field and happy to be on winter vacation, I am in a reflective mood. 2015 was a year of ups and downs for me, as I'm sure it was for lots of people, but I am very much looking forward to what 2016 has to offer.
One creative project I am looking forward to making is a Temperature Blanket. This is an unfortunate name, in my opinion, so I will likely end up calling it something else. The basic concept is every day, I will crochet a row according to what the high temperature of the day is. I may end up adding a color or two, but here is a quick chart I made:
So, for the next 10 days, the high temperature here will be in the 30's. That means my first 10 rows of 2016 will be Lavender Blue. I have joined a Facebook group to crochet along with others, and many people are using lots more colors. I think I will stick with just these. I intentionally chose more purples and greens because those are my favorite hues. I hope to not have too many rows of red, but I guess we will see next summer what will happen.
One problem is going to be making sure this baby doesn't get too big, but with 366 rows, how can it not? Perhaps I will make two afghans, one from January 1-June 30 and the other from July 1-December 31. This might be a good way to tell just how quickly climate change is taking place. ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'd like to wish health, happiness, good fortune, and joy to you and your family! Happy 2016!
