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!

Great e-book Amigurmi and crochet e-book bundle. The top tier of the bundle is $18 for 23 ebooks, it has two lower priced tiers which include less books if your budget is lower. I have used this site many times and you can pick a range of what you pay for the bundle and how much goes to certain charities... the different levels have different minimums.  Some really great books in there I've been meaning to get and I already have a hard copy of the Stitch dictionary.  If you have an Amazon kindle account to read, you can set it up to have some of the ebooks e-mailed to your specific kindle account. (you can find that address within your Amazon account.)  https://www.humblebundle.com/books/amigurumi-and-crochet-from-open-road-media-books?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_4_layout_index_4_layout_type_threes_tile_index_2_c_amigurumiandcrochetfromopenroadmedia_bookbundle&fbclid=IwAR2gVKpmU1s0_yq6xO05r9dcSto9GzHiAStMh_vk4rTH4Nz_CqALe7wDG6o

This is the book I referenced on this weeks Crafter Gathering last Wednesday night.  I recommend looking for used copies online if the Amazon one is too expensive. I haven't made any of the patterns out of it but I have wanted to.  It calls blankets rugs, and one of the blanket patters are a group of tunisian in the round squares - this uses a double ended hook to do tunisian in the round.  I've made a few squares from another pattern and a cowl in tunisian in the round. I'm still learning it.

Today's stitch was the feather stitch I had made a feather stitch blanket during from a free pattern that was released last year for a blanket drive for Warm Up America. I didn't finish in time to mail it off and really loved how pretty the blanket came out so I decided to keep it. I may gift it to a relative but I still haven't decided yet.  I was thinking folks might want to see a picture of it and I can share it here.  I used Lion brand pound of love, one skein of each of those colors I think if I recall correctly.  The pattern was a free pattern with video tutorial.  If anyone wants the link please let me know and I'll look for it. I can also look for the colorways as well if anyone is interested in using these same colors.  This stitch is a yarn eater and the blanket is definitely heavy, weighted blanket and it's nice and squishy.

Do you have a yarn in your stash you have no idea what to do with?  Share with me the brand/ name/ size/ texture and color.   Maybe even a picture of the yarn you need some ideas for. 🤗❤️🧶
