Don’t think this 2023 CAL Sampler blanket will ever get finished! I keep trying to loosen my tension or use a different size hook and as you can see I don’t think I’m making much progress😢 I’m so tired of frogging and doing over-I’m just SO frustrated!! I’m really trying & really enjoy crocheting (when I have the time) but I’m wondering if this is hopeless???

Don’t think I’ll ever finish this 2023 Sampler blanket!! I know I have a tension issue (Tiffany requested I use a larger hook or try to loosen my tension). I’m so tired of frogging & starting over. I’m really trying to learn & have fun crocheting but when it starts looking like this I get so frustrated & don’t know what to do!😩😭

I finished last year's temperature blanket that I made for my son, just set up the blocking! He wanted what he says is the "real" temperature scale colours so it goes purple coldest to red hottest (I used the purple for the border because I didn't use it through the year due to using average temps).

WHO'S READY FOR A NEW CROCHET STITCH!?!?!
This weekend I am releasing April's Crochet Stitch of the Month for our 2025 Temperature Sampler Blanket! I hope you love the new dynamic this stitch will bring to our project AND I hope you love how the pattern takes this stitch and creates an effect I haven't seen before. It's really neat and I hope you enjoy working with it.
Here's to catching up on the project so I can't start enjoying something new!

I just finished a temp blanket for my daughter. Temps from her wedding year. I found this leather tag to order with year and place etc. from
This is great if you make a yearly temp blanket or a gift!

March Historical Temperature blanket is done. Here are some pictures. My lowest temp was 35 and my highest temp was 80. What a month, but I'm loving it.

Through 4/4/25. Still on count 212 stitches; disappointed my borders are so jagged. Really struggle with my tension. Any advice is welcome! 🙂
