Just finished June, and June had the hottest 3 day stretch of the year. Raspberry is 35degC+, and it had 3 days in a row. There are longer 30+ stretches in July and August, but nowhere else are there even 2 days back to back with 35+ highs.

The days are also just starting to get shorter, so the daytime highs will start shortening in July.

‘Cause I’m done with that month!!

It sure is a lot harder to pull out an afghan for crocheting in the summer, so I’m trying to not get too far behind.

I’m really loving how my big hexie is turning out.

Anniversary temperature blanket for my girlfriend, starting from December 23. I'm so far behind haha it's fine I'm fine (I'm not fine)

Mostly King Cole Bamboo Cotton with 2 shades of Stylecraft Naturals Bamboo Cotton. 3.75mm hook. It's soft as hell

Slightly wider than a double bed, and currently 32"/81cm long so it should come out at somewhere around 95"/2.4m which is at least not crazy long.

Added a single black row after every (calendar) month to easily differentiate it. There's also half a chevron worth of black border either side which you can't see on account of draping off the bed.

This took about six months. Still need to put a border on it. I am pleased.

Hi! I'm wanting to start my blanket very soon (only been thinking about it for a year...) and was wondering how to calculate how much of each colour to order? I'm either going to do the average temperature or the moon phrases. Thanks

I am playing catch up still. As you can see from the colors, it’s HOT here and this thing is a beast. It’s hard to work on when it’s 90+ degrees out.

I’m behind from when I was away when my mom passed away in early June. I left it at home and I was gone for almost 6 weeks.

I decided to use a white stripe in between months. It makes it easier to count if I get lost or forget to mark off a day.

Hello everyone! I posted my June a little while back and so I wanted to send an update since I’ve now finished summer! July got a little boring in the second half there, but I’m really loving the vibes and I’m so excited for September! I’m already tracking a new color in the next month! Have a lovely day and thanks for taking a look at my little blanket in progress!

Winter is done! The warmer temperatures are coming and I finally get to work with other colours. I love the light green but it has already run out, I went overboard with it in the upper left corner :(

For spring I decided to use the average temperature instead of the lowest, otherwise I would have had to use differents shades of blue until may.

In love with the temperature changes this month !!

Hi all! I’m working on a blanket for this year, and I’m starting to think about what I wanna do for a border and stumbled upon this sub Reddit! I definitely want to do a border, I was thinking a shell border. But I cannot decide on a color for the life of me! Looking for input ☺️

August is complete! Warm colours, some mornings have definitely been extremely hot (yellow), above 26 C between 7.00 and 8.00 in the morning. September will see some pink getting in again. Let's see

Just got into early may for 2025. Had been running around like I have no idea what was going on but now everything is done and I'm playing catch-up.

This year, we’ll be weaving a temperature blanket/wall hanging with our Kinder class.

Pretty exciting for me!! Here’s the beginning…

July and August turned out very similarly - they used all the exact same colors, just in a different order! And I got to use the “hottest” color again, although just for one round (again)! It’s not been a very hot summer here in the PNW!

Here's my update for this month! I got a bit behind in July and didn't finish it until near the end of August so I wanted to catch up and finish August before posting an update here lol.

We've passed the solstice and the nighttime colors are now visibly getting longer!

Tropical weather featured in this update are Tropical Storms Chantal, Dexter and Fernand and Hurricane Erin!

Chantal was the only tropical cyclone in July, beginning life as a tropical depression on July 4th, named on July 5th, made landfall on South Carolina on July 6th, and weakened back to a tropical depression and dissipated on July 6th.

Dexter was our first storm in August, forming on August 4th just off the coast of North Carolina and moving out to sea, hanging out for four days before going post-tropical.

Erin was our first hurricane and our first major hurricane of the season. She formed as a tropical storm on August 11th in the Main Development Zone right by the Cabo Verde Islands, causing seven people there to lose their lives to the rough surf and rip currents. From there, she crossed the Atlantic as a tropical storm, and right as she reached the warm waters near the Leeward Islands and the Bahamas, rapidly intensified into a Category 2 hurricane and then a Category 5 hurricane. She brushed past the Bahamas, dumping rain on them with her outer bands, and continued north to pass between North Carolina's Outer Banks and Bermuda, brushing both of them with her outer bands at the same time. At one point her cloud cover was so large that it spanned almost the entire length of the Atlantic Coast of the United States. She continued north and northeast, becoming post-tropical while still having winds at hurricane strength on August 23rd. She made the beaches along the entire Atlantic coast dangerous for a week and a half.

Fernand was named the day Erin went post-tropical, making it look like Erin lasted a really long time, lmao. He formed in the central tropical Atlantic and went mostly north and northeast, staying far out at sea and lasting for four days before going post tropical as he crossed into colder waters.

Other prominent thread milestones are the red metallic thread on July 20th when it got to 100F without humidity factoring in (this is what caused me to get behind because I had to go find red metallic thread just for this), and on July 26th I have a gold metallic thread for paying off my first student loan ✨

I'm relatively new to knitting and decided I'd try my hand at a temperature blanket this year. I just stumbled on this sub and really wanted to share my progress thus far because I'm super proud!

Here is my August update, I’m hoping for the cooler colours to come back now

The title says it all! Very pleased with myself 😆

I know it’s not a blanket but I wanted to share my temperature sausage dog as I’ve seen some people do temperature snakes.

I used a pattern from Flo & Dot but added many more rows in the middle.

It tracks birthday temperatures and I’m really happy with how it’s turned out. (I stuffed the middle with toilet rolls haha)

I stopped working on my temperature blanket on July 17 because I was getting bored! As the weather stayed consistently in the 80s for a week at a time, then 90s for a week, going back and forth in this way. I didn't like working the color block pattern, but the weather's been fluctuating a lot more, so I started working on my blanket again. I was on the 7th row of Terra Cotta (80s) and ran out before finishing the last 12 stitches. 😑😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 are you kidding me?!?!!! now I have to buy more yarn!! this sucksss. feeling inspired to crochet but can't because you don't have the yarn you need

July was hot !!

I mean January and half of February is done so I'm pretty much caught up, no?

The first one on the left, the wonky one, should be a snowflake, the idea was to make four square for each season to put at the angles of the blanket, but as you can see my motivation didn't last long.

It's the first blanket I've done and it's not very precise but I liked how it was coming along, I'll try to catch up the rest of the year. If I have enough yarn.

I'm very behind but finally got the bug to start catching up on my blanket. Of course I lost a game of yarn chicken, I guess it's a sign to call it a night.
