#(i know it's not cheating bc it's my blanket/project and no one else's. i'm just so unsure)

so i'm crocheting a temperature blanket this year. my initial instinct was to say it's for my 32nd year but that's not actually how birthdays work so instead i'm awkwardly going with "the year i'm 32" and shortening it to just 32 mostly. anyway, that's besides the point.

i have the colour palette/yarn, i have the pattern (toni lipsey's linen stitch pixel temp blanket), i made a gauge swatch, i've started tracking temps (i've recorded hi/lo starting on dec. 8).... but fuck, i'm having so much trouble figuring out the temperature gauge!!!

i can't decide what the intervals should be, i can't decide if i want purples to be warm temps or cold temps or where to put the neutrals, i can't decide if i want to fiddle/tweak(/cheat?) and use the lows for the cold temps instead of the high which was the initial plan.... i just don't know!!! ugh.

#temperature blanket #temperature gauge #personal #crochet #whine whine complain complain #(i know it's not cheating bc it's my blanket/project and no one else's. i'm just so unsure) #i feel like if it was -20 early in the morning in jan but then warmed up to like -5 midday #then recording that day as -5 wouldn't accurately reflect the temperature variation? so that's why i'm thinking of using the low #but then i'm like. most often the low will be during the middle of the night which... is that representative??? idk???? #and also like... representative of what?? #i welcome advice or thoughts but reserve the right to ignore it if it makes me more confused lmao #i just have to pick something and stick with it for a bit #i guess if i find it's not working for me / not turning out how i'd like i can just tweak it from that point forward #except for the colour group assignment i guess #by which i mean purples = cold or whatever will be set in stone #i mean not literally. but i would not want to switch that up once i've started actually crocheting #i'm so conflicted about this bc i desperately want to start the project but i'm so so so unsure about the temp gauge
