#temperature blanket

[eldritchbauble]

I'm finally making a temperature blanket in 2026.

If the high for the day actually stays under 32*F, I'll use black.

BEHOLD

The Dracula Daily Scarf

I may be a month late, but I finally finished my scarf! This is the second Dracula Daily scarf I've completed, and definitely the longest: I used bigger yarn, and included the days with no update, represented by every black row. This monster is a little over 11 feet long, and 7 inches wide. Laid side to side, it's the perfect size for a rug!

I'm considering making knitting kits for next year's participants, that way if you order a kit you don't have to spend a ton of time reordering Seward's color, or buying whole balls of yarn for people who don't talk much *cough cough* Quincy- *cough cough*

Any thoughts?

As 2025 has come to an end, my book snake has too. I really enjoyed this project, and I'm very proud of the result! Every band is a book I read in 2025, the color indicates the (main) genre.

Blåhaj for scale, the snake is about 1.65m long. It is really funny to see April/May, when I read the entire Dutch literature award shortlist (greyish blue) and Sep/Oct, when I read all the Russian children's books that the library had to offer (pale blue).

This year, my book tracking project is going to be a sweater. It's a bit more tricky, since I don't know exactly how many books I will read in advance, so maybe it'll be way too short or maybe it will have a hood. We'll see, but I look forward to it, at least! Each book will be a patch with the number of stitches corresponding to the number of pages (divided by 5), the number of rows representing my review (out of 10), the color indicating the year that the book entered my TBR, and the stitch type signifying the format (print, audio, digital).

Finally finished my 2025 temperature blanket today!!

It was knit in the round and then steeked, which in theory was meant to be less work than knitting in rows, but in practice meant securing 750 ((365+10)×2) threads so I could have a cute fringe 🫠

How to crochet a temperature blanket in eight easy steps (with pictures) :

Step 1: choose your colors and set the ranges

Step 2: get started crocheting!

Step 3: hmm. This is only a month and it’s pretty long.

Step 4: maybe a double crochet was the wrong stitch for this

Step 5: haha yeah it’s a little big

Step 6: stop looking at the blanket as a whole.

Step 7: keep crocheting. Ignore the fact that you can no longer easily lift the project. Stop taking pictures of your progress entirely. Keep the finished parts folded so you never really see it all at once.

Step 8: finish and gaze upon the titan you have created.

After 4 years of work, I'm finally done with my pandemic flavored temperature scarf. And let me tell you it is a behemoth of a scarf measuring 4+ meters!

Each row represents a day going from Jan 23rd 2020 to March 23rd 2024. The color is chosen according to the number of new cases during that day.

2023 Temperature Blanket 🌈 Final Product 🌈

Shes finished!! She makes my bed look like it's a twin, it's not. Its a queen. But she's done!! And it's only January 1, 2024!!!

Honestly not to get too poetic or emotional, but this project is such a testimony to survival for me. With as much as I struggled this year with my mental health, it's kind of nice to have this tactile reminder that I made it. Look: all of those hard days are here. They're strung together with all of the good days to make something absolutely beautiful. And besides that? I can't even pick out which ones were the bad days. In the grand scheme of things,, they all come together. And I made it. I made this beautiful thing, I made it through this year. And so did you ❤

With that: Happy New Year! Happy 2024! Take it in your stride, and know that you can do this.

Hey, so if you’re a Critical Role fan & a fiber artist, especially if you have ADHD, and would like a project to work on while watching episodes, I have a fun proposal for you!

More than likely you’re familiar with the concept of Temperature Blankets by now. Well, someone in a crochet group mentioned making a Super Bowl “temperature” scarf, where she pre planned certain stitches and color changes depending on certain things that might happen during the Super Bowl, so she wouldn’t get bored.

My idea is designating your preferred colors and stitch changes based on possibilities of things that might happen during a Critical Role stream!

The list is long, so I’ll put it under a cut.

[if you’d like to suggest additions, I’m open! If you make one, and want to post progress online, tag me! If you post on IG, tag me as (at)SparrowfeatherCrafts. These are meant to keep working on each Thursday, or if you’re binge watching, keep working on it as long as you like! You can choose color schemes inspired by characters, or whatever inspires you. Doesn’t have to be a blanket, either. I saw people making Temperature Snakes, and I’m sure it would be fun to see how long a snake, or scarf, or whatever you want to make you can achieve. Enjoy! I’m asking you to open your heart to chaos 💚 ]
