Happy new year everyone. I hope you have all enjoyed the festivities over Christmas and the new year. So what will 2019 bring? Well for Lullaby Lodge it means the beginning of my temperature blanket. I am so excited to get started. I will also be doing another feature on stash busting, something a little different from last year and I will of course be sharing loads of new patterns, tutorials and ideas. Doesn't the beginning of a new year just fill you with hope, joy and expectation of what it might bring...
So here we go, day 1 of my temperature blanket. You can find my original post will all the pattern info here... According to the BBC the highest temperature for today in Windsor will be 11°C.
So my first colour is going to be Sherbet!
I started off with 180 chains this should be big enough for a single bed with a slight overhang. Such a long wiggly starting chain, this is always the most awkward bit.
I like to work into the bumps on the back of the chain for my foundation row. This helps when adding a border at the end.
First row complete, now the hardest part will be waiting till tomorrow to make my next row. Which colour will be next?
Don't worry if you miss the beginning of the year or don't have yarn to start right away. You can start a temperature blanket at any time of year. Just make 1 row a day until you get back to the date that you started. Also if you can't manage to crochet for a few days just keep a note of the temperatures so you can catch up later...
Will you be crocheting along with me? Don't forget to share your pictures on Facebook and Instagram with the hashtags #temperatureblanket2019 & #lullabylodge.
I will be posting an update at the end of the month, don't forget to pop back and see my progress...
Have a joyful and prosperous new year!
Catherine
