#crochetuk #crochetprojects2025
Have I fully completed all my 2024 projects? Not quite. Last year's temperature blanket is only on November 10th but I'm still starting a new temperature blanket for 2025, this time with different colours, a different stitch and a different hook size.
The temperature blanket is 7 months done. I got a bit behind during the hot days because sitting with wool anywhere near me just wasn't appealing. I. Now closer to my last row than my first row! Literally no idea how I'll photograph it when it's all done π
My first scrap yarn crochet rug on the blocking board to even out the edges. Made with 5 strands of DK yarn and a 9mm hook, as one colour runs out, you attach another, crocheting over the ends as you go. This makes the gradual colour shifts. An absolute stashbuster, it's used up all my bright acrylic cheap yarn from charity shops and leftovers. Ended up about 1m square. I may edge it - see how well it blocks.

June brought with it some fresh colours and a mistake ππ but chances are only I'll ever know what it is so that's okay π halfway through the project now! So I now have a very realistic idea of the final size. Not entirely sure I will photograph the final blanket!

My biggest and neatest project to date! This is a gift for my cousin. We lost my uncle (her dad) at the end of 2022, this is a temperature blanket featuring the low & high temperature for each day in January 1954 (his birth year) blues & white chosen because he (and my cousin too) are big Everton FC supporters.
3 months of my temperature blanket done! Due to the stitch I've chosen to use I'm getting a different colour variation on each side. One features odd days of the month & the other even. January at the top, moving down to March on the sofa seats.
Two months of crocheting a row a day in relation to the 'feels like' temperature of my weather app. Due to the stitch I've chosen to use I'm getting a different colour variation on each side. One features odd days of the month & the other even. An estimate on length today shows it's like to be around the 10ft mark when I'm done!!
15 days done. A row of low and a row of high temperature each day for small human's birth month blanket. 15 more to go!
