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 😀

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.

I finished thru March 1st. The end of February was in the 50's and 60's. March 2nd will be in the 30's. This is going to be a crazy blanket. What do you think?

Just sharing a picture of what I have so far. I have to admit I am not sorry to be finished with the stitch from February. Nice to have used a new color already in March.
