New Year New Project

I have not posted for almost 2 years. Sometimes Life keeps you so busily you just lose track of time. Then it becomes easier to not keep up. I have decided to start blogging again. I will be keeping up with different projects I am working on this year.

The first one is a crocheted temperature blanket. It will take all year to complete, because you only work one row a day. Each row represents the temperature for that day. I have decided to use both the low and the high temperatures so each row is worked half way with the low and the other half with the high. I made a chart using 5 degree intervals for the colors and have completed the first week and a half. The pattern I am using is the Simple Chevron Blanket. I made it wider to fit our queen size bed and it will be longer because there will be 365 rows. I am also thinking if adding a solid white row between each month. The yarn used for this project is I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby. The crochet hook is a size I 5.50 mm wooden hook.

Since this is an all year project, I will keep you updated on how it is going through out the year. I will also be posting other projects I am working on as I start and complete them.
