Tempghan, Week Three!

I tried to post this yesterday but tumblr ate it (of course). It’s been cold, cold enough for magenta, and more purple and dark blue. It’s getting more and more like it’s gonna be a blanket one day, which yay! I started weaving in the ends and thank god, gotta stay on top of that, because two weeks took about an hour and a half.

Next update will be the first full month!! Eeeeee!!

January, February, and March! I did finish it on time but I was too tired to take pics until now. Now I can start April guilt-free! And yes, I know there should be a write up, but effort and time spent not knitting and lazy, mostly lazy.

January Tempghan Update

Well. It’s not all of January, obviously, because I had to frog and start over. I also need to frog the last row you see there because I accidentally knit the wrong day (deep sigh).

I know I was really looking forward to monthly updates but this one feels really shitty. I am liking it much better with the borders between panels and it is worth it, but. Man it sucks.

January had a huge temperature range, from a low of 6f to a high of 67f. The lows change the most, which is interesting, I’m curious why but don’t have a clue. There have been days with huge ranges and days with virtually none. The largest number of days where at least one panel didn’t change color was six days, which is an awful lot. You’re supposed to be able to see all of that but of course you can’t and I’m going to stop here before I start crying.

I’m not sure what February will have in store for me. I have surgery on the 5th and idk when I’ll be able to knit again afterwards, plus I have all the catching up to do already, never mind however many days I have to take off to recover. Fingers and toes crossed I don’t get too far behind.

Well that’s it, folks. Four weeks of tempghan frogged, all over four stitches.

Honestly, it’s fine, it’s early in the year, I made other mistakes that were bugging me, and now I can have it the way I really want it. I’m a little worried about catching up, especially with my surgery next week, but it’ll be okay, I’ll get there eventually. It’s really easy knitting, and I’m working on making it more portable, too. I’d start casting on again but it’s 6:27am and I haven’t slept yet, so I’m gonna leave that for tomorrow!me.

Tempghan, Week Two

We had new highs and new lows, two days with such a small range that the whole row has been one color (including today) and two days with wide enough ranges that each panel had been different, including one where there was a full color between each panel (ie low 20-29, average 40-49, high 60-69). I also finished my first ball of yarn (30-39, that lovely light blue) which is alarming, considering I’ve only been doing this for two weeks.

My life is chaos right now, but having this to work on every day is super grounding. I’m so grateful for it.

Tempghan Week Six

I’m caught up through the 20th, which actually isn’t so bad. I had to take most of the week off due to surgery, but I’m getting back to it. I got so sick of untangling and digging to find the right color so I spent an hour and a half ish (however long The Human Centipede is xD) separating everything out and putting them in baggies. It’s made my life so much better, I’m so glad I did it.

I’m hoping to be completely caught up by the end of February, which I think isn’t too unreasonable? It depends on how my recovery goes, and also how long this CFS flare I’ve fallen into lasts. I need to figure out when the last proper update I did was, before I frogged, to make sure I go back to showing the individual panels. In the mean time, I’m gonna stick with just the big picture. Mia says hi again :P
