Hi everyone! It’s me again! As you can see, I’m beginning to feel that this 2023 Temperature Blanket and I just aren’t destined for each other. I really seem to have a tension issue and I am getting so frustrated. The Jan.-June stitches look a little tight so with Tiffany’s (and a few others from the Club) I focused harder on loosening my stitches from July-Sept. but now they look too loose & wavy!! I’m beginning to believe this is the end for me on this project—I’m so tired of frogging😭😭😭

Hi Everyone!!! Here is the finished Spiderman inspired temperature blanket that I've been working on for one of our granddaughters. We celebrate her birthday this weekend. I hope she likes it. White represents 20 degrees and below so November, December and January was fairly cold. Remember, I live in Minnesota.😄

Unfortunately, I can't attend the Retreat this year because my brother and I are taking my Dad to Walker, MN, for some fishing. When I was researching the area, lo and behold, I found four fiber arts stores, so I planned a little tour. In Bemidji, MN, I'm going to The Yarn Cabin and Fiddlesticks Yarn Store, in Park Rapids, MN, I'm going to Monika's Quilt & Yarn Store, and in Pine River, MN, I'm going to Serenity Now Yarn & Alpaca Store.

I finished our cardigan for the CAL, the unstructured jacket on Saturday.
I modified the starting chain and length of garment so it would be 9" shorter. I also modified the placement and size of armhole.

Hi Tiffany!! I did a gauge for a new project I will be starting with the recommended gauge 4 in x 4 in. My gauge is 4 in x 3.5 in. Is this close enough? Should I use a bigger hook? The project is a halter top (bralette).

What do you think of the May Single Crochet Spike Stitch? I'm looking forward to it. I think the pattern will really stand apart from everything else we have done so far.

My Temp Blanket done thru May 1. Not happy with my edges in Jan! A bit of a disaster, but hopefully the border will be able to hide most of that. After Jan not so bad as I did a stitch count from time to time and “readjusted” to the 212 count when necessary. I’m SOOOO glad to be done w that Bobble stitch! Only have done May 1 row of SC, so will see how my first row 2 of the stitch will be.
