This is what people in the old day called a remnant blanket. They collected all the yarn remnants during the year and then when they had enough they would crochet or knit a blanket or a shawl or a scarf and so on
I knit and crochet. I always pull from the center because I dislike chasing my yarn around the room and yarn that doesn't move around is less of a "fun toy" for the doggo. Also, just started a temperature blanket as an anniversary gift for my husband, I'm 9 months behind and need to be done in 3 months! Wish me luck!
I've totally had the same idea! Except that my start date is our 9th anniversary which isn't for 7 months and I want to start now.....but I guess that gives me plenty of planning time :)
I learned to Knit when I was younger from my grandma, I started to pick that back up. And now after watching this video I’ve been starting to learn how to Crochet now. To the I feel like I’ve got the single stitch, to the point I’ve planned out a Temp Blanket myself. And prepared to start it soon.
Hi :) 1. I have that exact crochet hook set. 2. I pull from the outside too 😅 3. You're doing so good! I'm so happy you're so positive to those who are unprofessional. I could've used that starting off 3 years ago. 4. Like I've told you previously, I recommend changing your top Temps and lower Temps to 99+ etc. Let's be realistic of what's gonna happen! 🤣 5.
Because of you, I started learning to crochet. My fist project, of course was inspired by you. I'm making a 2013 Temp Blanket for my daughter using the garter/linen stich. I started with 200 chains but because the garter stich skips, I'm really only stitching 100. The first two months my ends didn't line up, but I figured it out and now that I'm into April, the ends are looking fantastic. I also let my daughter pick out the 12 colors and did a 5 degree's (Celsius) for color change. I also wanted to see more of the change in colors, so for Spring and Fall I'm using the average, for Summer I'm using the high and winter(Canada) I'm using the lowest temp. This has been a great learning and fun project. I recommend it for a beginner and to not be afraid.
I'm so glad I saw this! I forgot that I wanted to make one a few years ago! I love the spreadsheet and color sample chart, I think that would definitely make it easier for me to keep up or catch up because I am awful at finishing larger projects.
Same. I've gotten better at finishing projects now, when I started crocheting I had such big plans for making something, and now you can find random projects lying around the house that I quite so early u can't even tell what it is
Thank you so much for showing how to switch colors. I couldn’t find any videos on this. Thanks to you, now I’m confident to tackle a temperature blanket 2023! Great video!
New subscriber because of this video. Thank you for showing everyone projects don’t have to be perfect! I’ve messed up so many times. So thank you for that.
My birthday is January 3rd too! Birthday buddies! I'm starting a temperature blanket now too because I saw you're short on RU-vid. I haven't started crocheting but I bought all the yarn and did the prep. I'm so excited!!!
😂I agree, we can forge ahead with what skills we have. Don’t give up, learn from our mistakes. I made the same neophyte move with my 1st ever crochet blanket, only I was doing 2 rows per day for high and low! I calculated it was going to measure 10 feet by 19 feet if I kept going. Day 5 I ripped it out and started a new pattern. After 3 attempt sof this new wave design, with one 4“ x 1” wave for the each high & low per day I am happy with a good plan I am sure I can keep up with! I am doing two 35”x52” panels 6 months each side by side making 70” x 52” blanket! The hardest part is now waiting for the day temps to add up! I plan to add some silver threads on top of rain days as our 2023 weather is a doozie here in California!
Very nice presentation. Loved your enthusiasm, honesty and genuine assessment of your skill level. Started mine a few days ago for a 2023 blanket. I will be adding a slip stich row in either a black and white showing each month and the change of season.
I knitted before I ever started crocheting so I always do my slip knot as if I started the first row knitting and I always hold my yarn as if I was knitting, too. I do this because it's the most comfortable for me. If the way you hold your yarn is comfortable for you, then it is the right way for you! 🙃
I saw this trend on tiktok and decided to try it! I never even touched a schene of yarn before it and its now March and it’s coming out pretty good! Also, I personally just turned my ends into tassels so I didn’t have to sew them in! hahaha
I just came across your video and I loved it. You are doing just great. I love your scary amigurumi. You can make a blanket as wide and long as you want to. You are doing a great job and I applaud you for weaving in the ends as you go. I have been crocheting and knitting on and off for over fifty years. I love the way your blanket is looking so far.
I'm going to start a temperature blanket for my significant other's birth year and birth city as soon as my yarn is delivered from joann's! Thought about doing one for 2023 and my hometown, but there's so little temperature variation I didn't think it would be as fun. I'm only doing 7 colors, along with white for stripes between months, and maybe a border. I'm also thinking about getting something like metallic embroidery thread to make their birth date stand out. So excited to get started, thank you for inspiring me!! 🥰💙
If the average temp in your area only varies by 21°, you could do the scale in 3° increments rather than 10° increments like some of us will use (Fahrenheit, Celsius scale maybe only use 1 or 2° increments?) so that you get a bit of variation throughout the year.
I love the cuddly creepers! I made a plain doll out of a skein i bought at Michaels for a dollar! I use a sock from dollar tree n cut off the toe part n slip that over the skein of yarn n it helps keep it together til the end. Im an insider puller.
I pull out the yarn barf from the center and make sure it’s not in any knots. Then I pull from the center. Going to try one of these blankets next year!
I am starting a temperature blanket to give a child for their first birthday. This means I am going for birthday to birthday instead of starting Jan 1st. I am using yarn I bought for a project that I never ended up starting. (It was going to be a gift for a friend who ended up moving away and cutting all ties). I think I will be using multiple different styles of yarn as long as they fit the color range for that temperature. I am going to be using one strand for the high and another for the low in each row. This is going to be a twin size blanket (hopefully). I have made blankets before, but this will be my first temperature blanket. I am charting the temperatures, but I haven't dug through my massive collection of yarn to finalize colors yet. I want this to be like a remnant style, but with more structure.
I’m starting my temperature blanket i think today if I can find the pattern and size I want to make and then I’ll just go to this time next year!! I’m so excited !!
Ooh thanks for the weather website!!! I've never made a temperature blanket before but have always loved seeing others. I think I want to make one for my daughters first year of life :) so it will be 2021-2022.. four months behind so you're not doing too bad! I love that you can take your time though if you just keep a log. I mostly knit so i may do that instead of crochet. Please share your updates!!
I'm so sad I didn't see your videos until this late in the year 😂 but I'm definitely going to make myself one in 2023!! I live in Colorado too so my temperatures will be so fun 😅
I went to a senior center a million years ago to learn to crochet. They taught me to pull from the inside. Maybe 10 years later I started running into knots from the middle. I roll them into balls now pulling from the outside.
I found out 2 months ago that my dad has colon cancer. I want to make one of these for him. He’s a big guy, so I think a queen size would fit perfect to cuddle in his lazyboy when he isn’t feeling well. At least this project will help keep my mind off of things, I hope. Positive vibes.
I saw this on tiktok! I put down crocheting because I with get involved in a project then life would happen and I couldn't get back into it. BUT!!! I'm going to start doing this! Only I'm going to do it a little different... I'm going to do years with either someone's birthday or an anniversary year. So my first one I'm going to do will be... 2016 the heart me and my hubby got married. Wish me luck! And thank you for your video it was very good for info and where to start so that I'm not so overwhelmed. :)
I started my blanket by making a small granny square for each day then connecting them. I decided I didn't like it around mid March and started over....I am now caught up until mid April haha
My husband 3D prints. So I undo all my yarn and respool it on his empty filament spools and he bought me the ...Spindles........I don't know what to call them but he got me two stand and spindles that are meant for 3D printing. Best idea ever. I use to make yarn balls when I knit or crochet.
This video has made me love u even more. I think im gonna make a temprature blanket now, ur video inspired me. I love seeing another crocheter. I love ur look on the world. And last but not least, my family goes on vacation to Nashville, Tennessee so I will look out if I see u there, but obviously that won't be for a while because of covid (I live in Canada so I can't cross the boarder). I always love ur videos!
I am doing my first also this year. I’m doing SC too, but I only chained 100, and will make 2 panels to seam together. Jan-June and July-Dec. I am the Queen of WIP’s, and just thought it was easier to stay caught up this way. Your’s is looking great so far…
I just came across your video, clicked on it because I am doing my first temperature blanket ever. You are adorable and I love your little amigurimi they are adorable
I just love the idea of a temperature blanket, never heared of it before. It would be fun to play with different colors on different days 😁 Moreover, you can't guess how it would look when finished.
I was taught to leave the ends hanging and then once it got going along just use my crochet hook and single hook them into the last or first row of that color.
Thank you soooo much for getting me on and introducing me to this project it is Soo much fun and such a good use of my time and thank you for answering my questions
Tip: may I suggest crocheting the end that matches the one yur doing. The other one that matches the one below- weave in. It gets too bunchy n bulgey crocheting both ends in
I'm making a temperature blanket for 2023 and I haven't told any of my extended family about it really because I'm going to go to my grandma's house on New Year's Eve and have people saying Natalie what are you doing and I'll just say you'll see
And I prefer to pull from the outside. I hate the knot too. I do a wide gauge loom usually like “loom a hat” you tuber. So I usually need 2 strands of medium-weight yarn if I'm doing an e-wrap for the loom. Or I use one strand if I do a u wrap stitch. That being said it gets tangled if I use the outside and the middle at the same time. So I use 2 skeins.
I am going to start mine next week. February.... my birthday, until my next birthday. Glad I found your channel. How did you choose your colours? Next question, would turning the blanket, vertical stripes, make your blanket the right length for your bed?
I am starting a blanket do you think it's a bad idea if I use different kind of yarns like for example Summer from Red heart and some are from other companies and they don't have the same thickness do you think it will work or should I get the same thickness? Thanks I love your video.
Ok I had asked you before how many chains to start the temperature blanket I'm now seeing your video I've had to start it I did not get that one before thanks
i legit roll every yarn i get into a ball without the winder manily bc idk if it will fit into my ball yarn holder if i use that but i pull from the middle when i roll so i fully know the knot grr
OK im very very new to crocheting. She said she as lost hooks..I can understand that..but how does having a kit of different sizes help when u need a 5.5 ? Wouldn't it be beneficial to have a couple of the same size in case u lose the one u need for ur project? Also what bout making the yarn into a ball? Are u spost to do that? she just using a little bit at time so It makes sense not to ball them though.
I only know how to do loom knitting (though I'd like to learn crochet at some point). Might have to see if I can do something like this with loom knitting.
Amazing, but are you sure today’s temperature blanket go ? What is temperature blanket? Is it all the way to go so if I did it I would never finish it ever ever ever ever ever ever ever love so I love you so much.
