      My granddaughter and I started crocheting 6 months ago. We want to do a year-long project for 2025, but don’t want a huge blanket. Your video is very helpful to me, I sent it to her too 😊 Thank you ☺️

    This last year I made a baby size blanket, a row for each day of my niece’s pregnancy. I ended it on the day her daughter was born. They loved it!

    I’m making my temperature blanket with granny hexagons this year! Each week will be one hexagon and each row will be one day, so there will be 8 rows per hexagon (one for each day of the week and one border row). There will be 53 hexagons altogether, and the first and last hexagons will have three filler rows (since the year starts and ends on a Wednesday). Can’t wait to get started!

    I made a sermon blanket for my pastor. I started Dec 3, 2023 through July 28, 2024. I used the 7 categories of the books in the Bible, assigned a color to each, then kept notes on the passages used on Sunday morning and Sunday night. I stopped in July because it was over 6 feet and it gave me time to finish the border. I gave it to him for Christmas. He loved it. I used the brick stitch for the color and divided them with antique white for the "morter" part.

    Hi Roz, I usually make historical temperature blankets and scarves for milestone birthdays. I live in Australia and I can easily download historiacal data from the Bureau of Meteorology website. I actually made two scarves showing the average daily maximum temperature for 1918 and the other dated 2018. This is a wallhanging to show if the temperatures have risen much over the last 100 years. I made this as part of the celebrations for the end of World War 1. (Note: you can easily see by loooking at the two scarves side by side the one for 2018 has lots more reds, pinks and yellows. Just love the idea of a temperature snake. Will make one for my granddaughter for the year of her birth. Thanks for all your tutorials Roz, just love them all.

    I've made 2 temperature blankets for 2023 and 2024. A new stitch for every month. I also wrote the temps down for every other day. For me, it wasn't cumbersome at all. Sometimes, I was a month or 2 behind, but always caught up. This year I'm making a 2 round granny square and then join as I go. I am so excited for this new blanket!! I've never made a granny square blanket before!!
    Thank you for all the new suggestions for a temperature blanket. Happy New Year!

    One suggestion a coworker made to me was a pregnancy blanket. A row per day while pregnant. Could be mood, temperature, symptoms, etc. Would be roughly a 9 month blanket instead of a year one so slightly smaller project. I was also thinking of a temperature shawl using crochet thread or fingering weight yarn to keep it's size reasonable.

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  4 дні тому

      Perfect!! 🤩 love that idea. If you decide on a shawl- there’s one during the scarf section I quickly showed. Search :
      Wyldflower temperature shawl.

    I like the idea of making a scarf instead of a blanket for 2025, I think I might actually do that, I was thinking of a blanket of granny squares or more interesting straight stitches than the single crochet stitches I've been doing for my 2024 blanket, I put it down for a while and am currently working through 'September', but playing catch-up is feeling really tedious because it's so wide, I love the size and I know I will feel good about it when it's finished, but getting there is just SO much work 😮‍💨

    Thank you for the inspiration. I'm would like to do a mood blanket with various skeins I inherited from my mom for the new year. Question - I received yarns that are different weights. Should I stick to 1 weight for instance #4? I know you recommended the same size hook so I'm guessing the answer is yes 😉

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  4 дні тому +1

      Hi Carol , that’s great news. Yes, I would recommend that you stick with the same weight to keep the blanket looking consistent.
      Technically, You can work with different weights but it will affect the texture of your blanket and you’ll have to counteract it with using different hook sizes to help with that.
      For example if you have a thin yarn (wt 2 for example) , you could work with 2 or 3 strands of it at the same time to beef it up to a wt 4 .
      It really depends on the look you want to achieve and what you’re making.
      Hope that made sense 💕
