Join Me for the 2025 Temperature-Sampler Blanket Crochet Along!I am beyond excited to announce the launch of my 2025 Temperature-Sampler Blanket Crochet Along (CAL), kicking off in January! This project will be a fun, interactive, and beautiful way to document your year while learning new crochet stitches and creating a one-of-a-kind blanket that tells the story of your year through color and temperature.For this CAL, we'll be making one row every day, documenting the temperature for that day and using a specific yarn color to match the temperature range from our very own Temperature Gauge. I’ve created a Temperature Gauge with a color indicator that will help guide you in choosing the right yarn for each day’s temperature.But that's not all! Each month, I’ll be sharing a Calendar Stitch Card, which includes the month’s calendar along with crochet stitch instructions. Each month, you’ll work the row using the stitch of the month, paired with the appropriate yarn color based on that day's temperature. This will give you a beautiful, textured blanket that grows month by month.I’m really excited to share that we’ll be learning 12 different crochet stitches throughout the year—some you may have tried before, and others will be new to you. Whether you’ve crocheted for years or are a newer crocheter, this project will be a fun and rewarding challenge. Every month’s stitch will add a unique texture to the blanket, making it a truly personalized and stunning piece of art.One of the best parts of this CAL is the new community section in the Crochet Club. This space will be dedicated to the Temperature-Sampler Blanket project, where you can:Ask questions: Whether you're new to the project or need help with a stitch, this section is the perfect place to ask for guidance.Share your progress: I can’t wait to see how your blanket is coming along! Whether it’s a photo of a finished row, an update on your materials, or just a note about how the project is going, sharing your journey will be so fun for everyone.Discuss materials: Not sure what yarn to use? Want to talk about hook sizes or other tools? The community section is the place to chat about it all.I encourage everyone to participate, whether you’re jumping in with your first CAL or are a seasoned pro. This project is all about community, creativity, and making something beautiful together.To get started, all you need to do is make sure you're part of my Crochet Club, where I’ll be sharing the Calendar Stitch Cards and all the information you need to follow along. The community section will be open for sharing, asking questions, and engaging with fellow crocheters throughout the entire project.I can’t wait to kick off this journey with you all and see how your Temperature-Sampler Blankets turn out. It's going to be a year-long adventure, and I’m so thrilled to have you all along for the ride!

All caught up! I had to frog 14 rows because I got in the zone and forgot the repeats 🤦‍♀️ 

Compared to last year it’s been much colder - I only had 2 rows of aqua for all of January/February last year.

Tiffany. I’m at the end of row 3 and I think it looks about the same as yours per your instruction video? Here’s the pic.  Not sure if you could tell if I’m on the right track by the pic but thought I’d show you.  I was just questioning it when I get done w row 4 although I guess I’ll be at the other end at that point anyway.

so I decided to do something different with the temp blanket...I chose 7 colors and am doing 2 rows of each color using the stitch of the month. I didnt want it to be to big so i decided 14 rows a month is still a good size. i hope it still turns out as pretty as the temp blanket 😀

My most current progress update on my Temperature Blanket!  What color seems to be popping up most on your temperature blanket?  Right now, my Temperature Blanket has the most amount of red. ❤️❤️❤️

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!! 🤗💖🧶

All done with Feb stitch.  I'm loving my  historic blanket. For 1976 there were so many color changes. The lowest was 9 degrees and the highest was 66 all in February. Can't wait to see what March will bring. I'm using a lot of colors because I'm doing every 5 degrees difference.
