I was away for a bit. Caught up with January. Ready to start February. Not much change in temps here in the icy and snowy northeast!
2025 Temperature - Sampler Blanket update! I've officially finished the month of January. I looked ahead to see what the upcoming temps would be so I could get ready to jump into February! So, I've used all of the lower temp colors in my blanket already. I'm curious if in February I will be able to pull in some of that teal color OR if it will just be more of what I saw in January.... Something to look forward to I guess! This project is crazy with all of the unknowns. I've also chosen to weave in all of my ends. People have been asking about the border for this project and what they should do with their ends.
Here's my plan. In October, November and maybe December I'm going to release blanket border tutorials you can add around any rectangular/square blanket. I'm going to let you pick which one you would like to use. If you would like to choose to leave your ends out and just make fringe around your blanket you can do that too. Just try to decide if you want to do a border or fringe sooner rather than later so if you do choose to weave in your ends it's not a crazy amount! 😄💖🧶






My yarn came in today. What do you think about the colors? Please be honest.


January finally finished!!!! I got a little behind. Hoping to get caught up this weekend!


My temp blanket progress through today, Feb 2. First row of the new stitch was slow, but I got the hang of it! So I feel confident for the rest of the month!

The SIDES of my January Section.
I've had a couple people reach out to me having trouble with the sides of their Temperature Blanket. I just wanted to give a reference to what I am seeing on mine.
Yes, the January stitch is leaving us with sides that are not straight. AND that's driving some people crazy. I'll make a note on that with upcoming stitches and for future projects. However, it is more experience working with patterns and learning what you do and do not like! Which is GREAT! The more you try the more you know!
I've also had some people bring up concerns that their blanket sides are starting to be VERY MUCH not straight. Without seeing a picture I'm not sure what happened. All I can share is to please Count Your Stitches every so many rows. Especially if you are newer and DEFINITELY if you are noticing a problem. If you are already seeing a problem with your sides, I highly recommend you fix it now while it's still just a slight annoyance to go backward but not a complete tragedy. Setting up your project on the right foot will not only make sure stitches in the future will work with this project but also mean you won't have trouble with the border when it comes time to finish everything up.
This project, I've chosen stitches that will work together and minimize the sides getting super wonky. Please help me out by counting your stitches and watching for anything weird that might come up. I hope you're having fun!! 🤗💖🧶
