Thanks Nicole! You're blanket is looking beautiful, the colours are awesome!

Making a second afghan for my hubby. He goes on many business trips throughout the year. He just came back from Dallas, Tx. I used the garnet to start January and green for the temperature range in that location.

4 rows for beginning and 3 rows for 3 days in Dallas

As you know, I posted this in the colour thread. But I'll post it here too for anyone who didn't see, and to get this thread rolling.

I was just too excited about this project, I couldn't help but go back to Jan 1st and crochet up until now. I already happened to have 7 colours in the same satin yarn, so I was pretty much good to go! I just picked up a couple other colours for the far ends of my temperature spectrum, thinking I won't need them for a while. But when I woke up this morning, it felt like -18, so I need to get my dark purple sparkle row on the scarf today.

But here it is up to yesterday:

Same here was too excited so I went back to jan. 1 as well

Pastels are pretty

Everyone's projects look great! I originally started making a scarf but once I realized how long it was going to be (over 20 feet!!) I decided to make an afghan instead =) For each day I am making a 2-round granny square with a black border, and will sew them together as I go! They end up being roughly 4" squares, so it should make a decent sized throw!

I posted that I was going to make a lapghan instead of a scarf. Well, let me amend that. I am going to do both. I ordered yarn and it hasn't arrived, should in the next couple of days. I have been reading all the posts and getting anxious to start, so I decided to buy some yarn and start a scarf. I am caught up to today. My lapghan is going to be for the high temperatures, so the scarf is going to be for the lows. White is for below 22 degrees. As you can see, we have had quite of few of those. I bought light weight yarn so it wouldn't be as long, at least I hope it won't.

I love the look of your scarf so far, RedAlysha! Do you have any new photos for us?

Sky blanket current to January 20, 2013. Each row represents 4 days of the sky at midday. Using stash yarns to start.

Nice work!

This is the beginning of my temperature scarf. I am breaking rules. Instead of trying to hide the yarn ends, I am tying them together and making a twisted "fringe" within the scarf. This represents January 1-19. I also am not doing rows by color. I did not want all the yarn changes to be on the sides, so I am using varied amounts of each color and it ends where it ends....

Cool idea!

Is anybody keeping a journal or log on their scarf?

Nope, but I am keeping all the temps on a spreadsheet, and highlighting them when I finish each section.

I am finally caught up to todays date! I've decided to add an extra colour (black) for the really cold days because I just can't justify -23C being the same colour as -8C!
I'm loving how linen stitch is blending the colours together.. I wish I could just keep knitting, but I got to wait till tomorrow!

Beautiful colors!

I'm working from home today because my little one is sick. I snuck in a little knitting this morning to get caught up to today. I'm normally a very calculated knitter who plans out what colour will be used where, so do this is kind of out of my comfort zone! So far I love how it looks & I'm hoping it looks kind of like a patchwork quilt when I'm done.

I just love those dark shades! Gorgeous!

You are a better person than me. I'm still running behind on my wrap.

Looking great!

I started my wrap, I wanted something more lacy and this is what I came up with. This is what the temperature looked like back in January 1981.
