Cait Posted July 14, 2023 Author Posted July 14, 2023 I did a jumper for my granddaughter with that method. It was the splitting for the head hole that was the most difficult bit 🤪🤪 Quote

Froglet Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 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! 1 3 Quote
sunnyday Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 Wow, wow and wow! They are lovely young Froglet 1 Quote

louby loo Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 They really are quite stunning. 😍 I'm still trying to decide if I can knit a two colour Christmas winter blanket made of squares! 1 Quote

Cait Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 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 🤣🤣🤭 Quote

Are you thinking of making one? 1 Quote
Cait Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 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 Quote

This one is crochet - one square per week. I noted the temperature at 7am each day and crocheted a round in the relevant colour. 1 1 Quote
louby loo Posted March 1 Posted March 1 (edited) 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! Quote

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. 2 Quote
Cait Posted March 4 Author Posted March 4 This was an actual scarf done in stripes by temperature. But yes - all those ends!!! 😩😩 1 Quote
Froglet Posted April 2 Posted April 2 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. 1 2 Quote

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. Quote
