today is a green day

For a month now, I have been seeing my days in color.

Yesterday was a blue day.

Today is a green day.


I have wanted to make a "temperature" project for a while, but never got the yarn needed in time.
I started a few weeks late, but got to Joann's to buy my eight skeins of yarn and got going.

"What are you even talking about?" you ask?

I'm making a temperature scarf. (It is more common to make an afghan, but I have scaled it way down to make a scarf.)

I found a chart, made by Yarnspirations.com and have crocheted a row each day depending on the temperature.

 

 



I don't have the exact colors as suggested, but found similar ones. A few colors are marled to give a different effect.

Making a scarf has been nice because one row only takes a few minutes. It also allows me to work on other crochet projects at the same time.

The pattern that I am using is from www.stitching-together.com and is called Wrap Me In Diamonds.

Because I change colors pretty frequently, the diamond pattern is a bit hard to see, but I think once I am done and block the scarf, it will show.

We have been experiencing every weather pattern imaginable: snow, rain, sun, fog, clouds... This project will be very vibrant for sure.

I have a feeling I may need to go out and buy another skein or two in various colors and I wonder how many rows will be red, which depicts 89 degrees or higher...

A couple things I've had to do to make things easier are label my skeins, so I know which one is for what temperature and to weave in ends as I go along. I don't always have to switch colors, but as you can see, I've had a lot of color changes already.

Whether your day is purple, blue, green or red, I hope it's a good one.
