I had gotten so far behind on my crocheted temperature blanket. I spent time Sunday trying to catch up. This photo is “January”.
Remember that the temperature blanket is crocheted in rows that correspond to a key that indicates the temperature for each day. Read more about it here. Part of the reason I fell behind is that I didn’t like the back loop single crochet stitch that I was doing so I ripped out what I had started (you can see the start in the link above) and started over just using a plain single crochet. I used a Bobble stitch on the day we had the big snow. I am much happier with it now. Maybe by tomorrow I will have February’s rows finished. See it’s not too late to start your own.

Why not join us for this class on Saturday, January 23rd at 1:30 pm and begin your beautiful wrap too?
