Discussion and Photos of our Works in Progress (Jan. & Feb.)

[Leila1002]

I finished January last night! It is a lot of work with all the switching of colors but I like the way it is looking. I am trying to weave in ends every now and then so I won't have so many to do in the end. Still not totally happy with my edge where the joins are but maybe I'll add a border later.

I have about 10.5" for Jan. so I may end up just doing 6 mos. Not sure yet.

I have read and re-read the directions on picture posting but for some reason, it isn't happening for me

I decided to do this year here in Toronto. It's been a cold one! I also decided to do a DC crochet version, so I am kind of scared how long this might turn out... I am doing 2 rows for each day, one for the high and one for the low. Here is what I had after crocheting the first week...

This is for the month of January here in Kentucky. The weather changes so much, I've already used 5 different colors! I decided to do one row per day so,the scarf won't be too long.

And I just finished my daughter's scarf for January. She is southern Tennessee. I'm using the same colors, but putting them in a different order for the temperatures. I think hers is turning out prettier than mine.

The light blue is Lion Brand Jiffy, the green is Red Heart Super Saver, the gray is Caron Simply Soft. Using extra yarn that I have laying around for this, didn't realize the Jiffy was thicker

Yeah, Jiffy is a Bulky weight yarn, so it won't work to the same gauge as the Medium weight yarns.

At last I have finally found the temperatures for January.
So have a bit of catching up to do, hope to post a progress photo in a few days.

Woo Hoo! Glad you found them.

OK I am trying to put a picture on and I think this time it will work....First 4 months of 2012 weather, warmer days starting to sneak in. But at estimated 13 feet, I have to decide whether to make one really long one or make 2....

Looks nice!

I haven't started my project yet. My husband and I are having too much fun designing it.

It sounds like your project is a wonderful bonding event with your husband!

Still trying to get the picture thing figured out.

I like this larger photo.

Can't wait to see how long it becomes!

Love those dreamy colors!

Sweet pastels!

How is yours only 7.5"? What stitch and hook size are you using? My January turned out to be exactly 12"! Yours is much more reasonable! LOL

Hello!
I'm making an afghan with the inner circle representing the low and the second round representing the high. I've gotten the lows about up to date and about 2 weeks of the second round. Any sage advice about finishing the 3rd round and attaching as I go along?
I love seeing everyone's progress!
Thanks, Monica

Here is my completed month of January. I'm doing K2P2 rib using size 6 needles (I tend to knit loosely, so using smaller needles) in Bernat Satin. I'm in the DFW area so the temps range widely. I've broken down my colours in increments of 5 degrees and I'm using 15 colours.

Thanks, Shandeh - for adding my photo! No idea what I did wrong. Thought I had followed the instructions. If you get a chance, send me a personal note with where you think I may have messed up. Enjoying the KAL!
Thanks again
