This year I’m going to do a temperature blanket, I’m slightly regretting choosing chunky yarn as it’s gonna be massive but I was worried dk yarn wouldn’t be big enough lol.

I am crocheting a baby blanket at the moment. Rainbow and clouds. The main body is striped rainbow, and the border is like clouds.

This is what I've got planned for 2023, in no particular order, with the intention to use up some of the beautiful yarn I have stashed:
Colorwork projects
'Vanilla' raglan sweater, this time in a smaller size
Christmas sweater, Festive Yoke Pullover on Ravelry
Socks and cowls
Felted bowls (kit)
Children's sweater(s)

Here are some of my recent projects:
two baby sweaters
a fun hat
A cowl for a friend
Another hat.

I've acquire some beautiful yarn: brought some home from Iceland, and gifted from a friend who went to NZ.

Anyone have favorite brand of superwash wool? I need to make a sweater for my son.

I’ve been moving away from super wash, but my first sweater from Madeline Tosh Vintage worsted is still a pleasure to wear.

So I have started my temperature blanket. I’ll share the colours and temperatures when I get my shade card, but here are the first four hexagons. I had done a fifth one but got the colours the wrong way round, so frogged it’s.

If you would like to follow along on Instagram and my other projects. you can find my crochet one at theausomecrocheter.

Please explain what a temperature blanket it.
A temperature blanket, basically you crochet or knit a row, hexagon, square (whatever you choose) for each day of the year based on the temperature that day. So you assign a doifferent colour to different temperature ranges. So like 0 and under, would be one colour , 1-4 another and so on.

I am back knitting. I was diagnosed w/ bone-on-bone arthritis in my left thumb which made it very painful to knit and the velcro on the hand/thumb support kept getting stuck to the yarn. A cortisone shot has helped immensely. I could still cross-stitch though. I just finished this wedding gift for a friend's granddaughter's wedding in September. I chose the pattern before we got the invite. The invite and the pattern match very well. Taking it to be framed tomorrow. Back to working on my brand new great niece's sampler.20230704_114531.jpg
