I did a jumper for my granddaughter with that method.  It was the splitting for the head hole that was the most difficult bit 🤪🤪

Oh my life - that sounds complicated! 🤦‍♀️

Just give me a knit the back, knit the front, knit two sleeves pattern and I would know what I was doing 🤣

I can't believe that she was sold this as an easy beginners pattern - 'tis not!

My latest pair of socks. My first proper attempt at colourwork. I started them the first day of the summer holidays but it’s taken three attempts to get the tension right so I could actually get them over my foot!

I’ve read through this thread today looking for something.   I’m sure someone on here made a weather scarf or weather blanket using colours of yarn to replicate the temperature/weather each day of the year.  Does anyone remember?  Have I dreamed it - it wouldn’t surprise me 🤣🤣🤭

I made a temperature blanket last year to commemorate my 50th year. I don't remember if I ever shared a photo - can do if you'd like to see it? Are you thinking of making one?

My sister in law is.  I was trying to explain it to her.   Picture would be lovely thanks and if you’ve got your ‘code’ it would be really helpful too.  X

Here you go. I didn’t do typical colours as I’m not a huge fan of yellows and orange. This one is crochet - one square per week. I noted the temperature at 7am  each day and crocheted a round in the relevant colour.

I did a stripey crohet one- one row for each day, I actually did that one as a 'pregancy blanket' from annoncement to birth.

I also did a year one (2019), but in the end I made it into small blankets for the local hospital as I did'nt really like te finished affect! 😂 This one was a crohet hexagon- one for each day... it would have been quite big!

Mine was birthday to birthday rather than January to December. I was quite tempted to do it again but taking a 7pm rather than 7am temperature. I know someone who did a square a day but with just two rounds - highest and lowest temperature. It was beautiful but I’m not sure I could cope with all the ends!

That's what I did with my hexies, but was more of an 'inne'r flower, with an edging wihich is what made it a bit too big really.

Just finished this bag I started 10

months ago. The lining is fabric from a dress I made myself when I was 16/17 - definitely vintage.

I love it!  Did you double back on starting chain for the handle?  Was it the centre white?

It's so long since I made it I'm not complete sure but I think I did the chain and then one row of double crochet in the cream and then worked out from both sides. I did separate rows on each side rather than working round in a circle if that makes sense. I have two spare squares I need to decide what to do with. I think my next project might be using the sock yarn my sister gave me for Christmas.

A small purse?
