Hello Loomers,
I decided to make a temperature blanket and join my friend Virginia from Simply Intertwined in her Facebook group Temperature Blanket (or scarf) In 2019 (Simply Intertwined). I also decided to blog it here. Since, I am loom knitting the temperature blanket. I will be working 1 strand of 2 rows, Ewrap knit daily on what the high temperature ranges fall on. I hope I don't get too behind. I want try to updates every monthly here. I am starting with white, adding white in between months and ending with white, I also may add a white crochet border or fun matching tassel. I am working the blanket almost like Virginia's Simple Loom Knit Blanket video. I can't wait to see how it come out. Because I live in the lower parts of New Hampshire close to border of Massachusetts, the weather can be like a roller-coaster most day. All you can say is it's New England weather. LOL
