Shawl for my friend!

So a friend of mine moved from the Northwestern part of Iowa to Southern California a few years ago. I am making this shawl for her to show her that I still think of her and hope that she will remember this ole Corn State when ever she sees this item...

I am using Heartland by Lion Brand in the color Grand Canyon, hopefully this color will be able to go with almost any outfit she wears. It has a lovely mix of beige and copper tones.

I am using a patternt called Haiku Crochet Shawl By Rebecca Velasquez you can buy her lovely pattern at raverly ravelry/haiku-crochet-shawl or right from the company she designed it for called quince and co quinceandco.com/haiku I have had so much fun making this for her. Hope she likes it!

Until Next Time!

Round 2: Chain 2 [always counts as Doubl...

2022 Temperature Blanket - Color Chart

  It's almost the beginning of a new year! So, what does that mean? It means (in the crafting world) its time to start a new temperature blanket (or attempt to make).  What's a temperature blanket you ask? Well its where you have a color chart scale for the weather of the day. I have made up a new color chart graph for the year 2022, then I will use the color for what the temperature is around noon each day.  I am using Caron Simply Soft Yarn:  Grey: -3° and below Off White: -2 to 1° White: 2-5° Blackberry: 6-9° Orchid: 10-12° Grape: 13-15° Iris: 16-19° Plum Perfect: 20-22° Soft Blue: 23-25° Robin's Egg: 26-29° Blue Mint: 30-32° Royal: 33-35° Dark Country Blue: 36-38° Chartreuse: 39-42° Pistachio: 43-45° Green: 46-48° Kelly: 49-52° Dark Sage: 53-55° Baby Sunshine: 56-58° Autumn Maze: 59-61° Gold: 62-65° Neon Orange: 66-68° Persimmon: 69-72° Orange: 73-75° Pumpkin: 76-79° Strawberry: 80-83° Watermelon: 84-87° Neon Pink: 88-91° Fucshia: 92-95° Red: 96-98° Autumn Red: 9...
