I already know my "why" - make a blanket while there are still cooler temperatures _to_ record.

@@Ynattirb73 I almost took down my comment cuz I didn't want to be "that person"; however, I do feel a temp blanket created 'in the moment' would be a family heirloom with historic value.

Temperature blankets were originally created to be a visual representation of climate change, so you're right on track. I've noticed BIG changes to the temperatures of my blankets year over years.

@oliviayeates3931 9 ай бұрын

I live on the Northern California Coast. Days in the high 70s (F), let alone 80s or more, are pretty rare, but I've definitely noticed more of them occurring over the years

I love the idea of doing a baby blanket featuring the month a child is born. Small project, small temperature ranges, tied to them specifically. Another abbreviation version is to do a pattern that works for 104 lines and do the high and low each week. Or a temperature scarf.

@diediedice 6 ай бұрын

You're so real for that haha. Thought the same until I saw someone do a granny square one with the high and low temperatures of every day. I ordered 8 colors from Claude Monets Sunrise painting and I can't wait to start mine when they finally arrive next week👀

I haven't done a temp blanket before. I'm thinking of doing one for this upcoming year, because it will be our first year in our house. But instead of temperatures, I'm thinking of calling it the kids' choice blanket, and let my kids rotate choosing the color of the week/day from my pallet. I have four kids, so I thought that would be fun!

We picked out a pattern together, collaborated on colors and temp chart and are ready to order supplies!! This why of doing it with someone even far away and seeing how each one is different is so exciting to me!!! Can’t wait to see what the end looks like December 2024!!!

My advice for a temperature blanket first timer is do what you can each day, even if that’s nothing for that day! And don’t be too hard on yourself. Also it’s about the journey not the destination and a Temp Blanket is a jog not a sprint if the that makes sense… ❤

@cassiefitch5521 9 ай бұрын

I've always thought of a temperature blanket as a cute idea but a daunting task I knew I'd never finish. But you gave me the idea to do a little stuffed animal for my kids. I can check the temperatures for when I was pregnant with them and have each kid have the colors match their time in my belly so they will be unique with the different seasons I was pregnant and for how long.

I've never heard of a temperature blanket until today, but a few years ago I did an oil painting of the view from my window every day for a year. I wish I'd seen your video before I started! I did finish it, and it turned out to be one of the best things I've ever done, but it was a huge commitment, and I did struggle some days, especially in the last couple of months.

I love the first temperature blanket i made for my husband a few years ago. It was a history of our first year of marriage - starting on our wedding day, including our honeymoon to Jamaica in the middle of a Canadian winter. Very obvious colour change. It was 2 round hexagons so more like a lapghan. Kudos to anyone who completes a temperature blanket in real time!

Perfect timing 😊 my mom is turning 60 in 2024 and I was thinking about making a temperature project. Maybe the temp of all her 60 birthdays. This makes for a smaller project that I can 99% finish before her day in september 👍

I started my 1st and last temp blanket on my 59th bday to commemorate my 60 year journey. I made it for my queen bed and used colors usually associated with the temp range. My mistakes were making the project to big, and using colors that aren't my usual pallet. This year I decided to do a historical temp scarf for the year and city I was born. I will use a pallet more to my ascetic. It will be a more manageable project and I am already looking forward to wearing my history. Thank you Toni for all the information, inspiration and support.

I'm working on a temperature scarf this year and after getting this far, I wish I picked a different stitch. I would suggest making a bunch of swatches of different stitches, letting them percolate for a while, and then picking your stitch. I rushed into it and I regret doing that. So I'm going to work on another scarf next year and this one will be a wall hanging after I crochet or knit a border around it.

My daughter and I are crocheting a Temp blanket for the year 1924 for my Dad's 100th birthday this fall. We are making it in mitered granny squares laid out in 12 monthly blocks just like a 1 page printout of the year. She is also having a book made explaining the blanket with a printout of the calendar with the temps and colors. I watched this video and it gave me the idea, we just had to plan it out and start crocheting in batches!!! Thank you for all the great and informative videos that you create. You have really helped both my daughter and I to improve our skills. I just purchased new tunisian hooks and sent her my original ones to learn on now that she is better at regular crochet.

Now, I've had fuel for it, and I love what I'm doing! Never thought of having a "why?" But I always did for 2023. It's been dangled in front of my face for my entire life, since it's the year that I graduated high school! I really wanted to have something memorable for that year, since it's EXTREMELY important to me! Thank you for this video! If I do another one in the future, I am definitely coming back to this video!

I have so much yarn, I don’t think I’ll ever use it all, but a temperature blanket is a great idea to use some of that. I’m going to start planning one soon. I live in Arizona now, where it’s hot most of the time, but 64 out of my 69 years were spent in New York. I was born, raised, got married, and had my children there, so I might be doing a historical one or two or three 😂

I made a temperature blanket on a whim…rather, my daughter just happened to mention the idea…I took it and ran with it….i did absolutely no reasearch…just bought yarn and started. Since I live in Louisiana I realized that there would be periods of like temperatures. I used average daily temps. That worked fine until July. I had divided the ranges in 10 degree intervals because it doesn’t get super cold here. The problem was that I realized I was not going to get average temps in the 90’s, so I adjusted my warmest range to five degrees. It worked out well. I did weave in ends…my pattern was simple…single crochet one row per day using 4 weight acrylic. I bought leather tags and tied them on at the first of each month. In 2023 my daughter, (again!) suggested seasonal placemats….i did do some thought and planning and realized that wasn’t going to work for me. So since I have a relatively small table, I decided to make seasonal table runners. I picked four colors for each season, and made four table runners…just 90 rows each…who am I kidding…I’ve only completed two and two-thirds of another. I realized after starting the winter one I realized that I started with January, 2023, and would not be able to get the December data for a year…ooops! I am very happy with the colors I chose, and you have inspired me to pick up the last two runners and complete them. I used a more textured stitch for the runners, it worked well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, creative gifts, and most of all, your joy!

You’ve inspired me, Toni!! ❤️‍🔥 2024 is my year to do a temperature blankie! 🥳 I absolutely LOVE how your 2023 blanket came out so I’m going to do a similar pattern because it reminds me of the beautiful woven wool Missoni chevron patterns that I’m so gaga about 😊🩷💙🩷

THIS! This is a great instructional video! I'm planning to knit one, but all of this information goes for knitting as well, or any yarn art actually. Thank you so much!

I’ve never made a temperature blanket before, but you’ve inspired me to at least start planning! I do feel a little guilty about my WIPs. I want to get some of those done before starting another blanket. However, I am very excited to join your 2024 temp. blanket group and have some fun. As always, Toni, you are such a pleasure to watch. Ciao ❤

Toni you are an absolute gem! I've started a few temp blankets and abandoned them round about April. I think because I tried to do daily. I'm heading over to join the fb group so that I'm not alone in the 2 I'm starting in 2024

Amazing! I've been wanting to start one for my daughter's first year of life and this video has really helped me get inspired and feel confident that I can do it❤

So glad I found your video. I finally decided to make a temperature blanket of my first year with my Boyfriend as a gift. You made it so easy for me to understand and plan everything

I just started planning for my first ever temperature blanket-ish project!! Instead of temperature, I'm gonna be drawing a tarot card each day though!! Super excited for it!! The yarn already arrived and now all I have to do is wait for the first day of my project!!!

I had just subscribed, and this video popped up. How convenient! I was thinking of doing a temperature blanket, and then my daughter suggested it as well.😊

Living in Colorado, if I were to use Happy Place yarns, I’d add the Melange for those days it snows!

I love your long hair!! You look so pretty! I did you tunisian crochet temp blanket in 2022. It was the year I got married in Maui, so I did the temp in Maui for the week we were there! Its sticks out from the March weather we were having in Kansas and I love it!

New subscriber, and I am loving your style and delivery. Can't wait to see what organizing video next!! I was struggling with my gauge until I saw yours. I'm in Alabama, so I need to put my favorite colors between 80-100, because that's going to be the bulk of my year. I'm still stuck on having warm colors be the reds and yellows, and the cold days in grays and blues, but I also really like that Happy Place gauge, so I may fiddle with that.

love those colors; you have encouraged me to start a temperature blanket

You convinced me to make my first temp blanket this year and i think I've just been swayed to make another next year. Ive gotten SO demotivated with my current blanket, its becoming a chore. But ive realised its probably because i chose a 'safe' colour pallet of brighter colours because i knew it would look nice. But im all for neutrals. I also think making one chunk per month can get a little tiring, so i might make a square per week instead. I used your linin stitch temp blanket pattern this year and i absolutely adore the stitch and the way the squares work up, i just find myself despising the later, longer rounds each month 😂

Last year I made my 1st only crochet project. It was a Pre-Natal temperature blanket for my daughter and her new baby (and a matching doll blanket). We live in a desert community so it’s pretty warm year round. I used only 3 colors and it turned out beautiful. Thanks for inspiring me

I made a temperature blanket (Sept 1-Aug 31) I was so excited I couldn’t wait until January!! It was super fun at first but as soon as I started getting behind I lost motivation. I stuck to it though busy swore off the temperature blanket! Watching this video and listening to all your tips have made me second guess!! 2024 temp blanket may be in the works!! Thank you for your tips and positive vibes!! I just love watching your videos!!

Never heard of this. I must start one immediately.

This video is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you so much. I've been intimidated because I live in Texas and don't want a giant red anything. I decided on a scarf because I'm still uncertain and have ADHD, so a blanket is hard. But a scarf would be ready to wear just as it (finally) gets cold here. And now I'm inspired to choose a palette with blues, aquas, pinks, corals, and oranges instead of reds.

Im glad i watched this video. Ive had this idea of making a moss blanket for a while, which a bunch of different textures and shades of green. With this video, instead of using colours to show the temperature, ill use different stitch types. And im considering making it from the year i was born rather than making it for the upcoking year :)) thanks for the tips!
