Happy New Year
New year new blanket, well two blankets! and a jumper, and some socks. You may have seen my posts about my Flower garden temperature blanket, after finishing all, we not quite all but most of my projects I needed a new one. I was scrolling away over Christmas and saw everyone's ideas for temperature blankets, I needed something more challenging than a row a day blanket so I came up with an idea to do a square a day, the examples I saw on the socials were not inspiring so I needed to start from scratch. Thats when I came up with the Flower garden idea, next was the colour way.
So on new years day after having cleaned the house after the party the night before, I was off to my shop to pick my colours. I had worked out that to make the Blanket an even rectangle 18x21 I would need to add an extra 12 squares or days into the crochet blanket, I decided that I would add an extra day every month for a special date i.e. Birthdays and special days to remember, I would do this by adding a Daisy on that day to highlight the special day of the month.
I then played around with the square itself for a while until I came up with the design for the crochet square. I needed it to be simple enough to make it a quick square, but also keep me interested and eager to do after finding out what the temperature that day was. I decided on the High temp of the day, some people do an average but I thought it would make it more individual if it was my areas highest temp of the day. One of my knit and natter girls is doing it and although she is following the same plan her blanket will turn out completely different to mine because of the special day crochet square.
