Temperature Blanket Templates!

2016 is here!!! So many goals, so many ideas, so many projects I want to complete. Hope I can show you some of them here.

Here is my idea for a temperature blanket. Okay, complete on honesty it is not really my idea. I am just jumping into the band wagon. I first saw the idea on Facebook, the first place I saw the idea came from Repeat Crafter Me Facebook. If you don't already follow Sarah you should check out her work. Here is her actual website RepeatCrafterMe. I wasn't a huge template that was used in post Bernat Colors.

So, I decided to change it up, many times!


Stage One:
This is a few of the many colors that I have of Caron Simply Soft, plus more. I decided I wanted more colors to make it as colorful as possible. At this point I was going to do 10 colors red(hot) to purple(cold.)

Stage Two:
 
This is what is came up with, but I didn't like it. So, back to the drawing board I went. 

Stage Three:

 
Here are a few more changes, the second one and the third so close yet I feel like there is an huge difference. I can't decide what to do! 

Stage Four:
This is what I finally came up with, 15 colors! I wanted to have a wider range of colors to show off how hot and cold the Midwest seasons can truly be. I wish knee how to set up a better diagram then this. Below is is the the temperature gauge and the names of colors being used.
 Starts hottest to coldest:
97+ = Burgundy
91-96 = Soft Red
84-90 = Pumpkin
77-83 = Orange
70-76 = Lemonade
63-69 = Sunshine
56-62 = Dark Sage
49-55 = Neon Green
42-48 = Robin's Egg
33-41 = Berry Blue
26-32 = Iris
18-25 = Perfect Plum
10-17 = Dark Country Blue
2-9 = Heather Grey
1-below = Off White

Stage Five:
Deciding what pattern to use!
???? 
Drawing a blank! 
That will be tomorrow's problem. 

Hope this is helpful for a few people. 

Until Next Time!

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...

My First Blog!!!

So this is me entering the blogging world. I am so far behind on the internet trends! My hope is to use the social world to get my craftyness out there. I learned crochet a very long time ago from my Great Grandmother Halvorson when I was little. I played around with it throughout high school but never really got into crocheting until she passed away in April of 2013. I only wish that she should see what I do now, this is all thanks to her. I also knit but not as much as I would like to, I am still new to that world as well (since late 2012.) This week in the spirit of fall/halloween season I made up a couple of Pumpkin Hats for toddlers. So cute...   My next was going to be making Turkey Hats but I have MAJOR ADD when it coming to my crafting ideas so I started graphing out pattern charts for some of the SuperHero geeks in my family. So far I have made Green Lantern, Batman i had Superman done but I decided I didnt like it so back to the drawing board I go. ...
