Temperature Blanket

I had a customer in this week picking out colours of Rowan Felted Tweed to make a Temperature Blanket. This is Denise’s blanket from a few years ago. She used the Kaffe Fassett colourway that I put together.

I haven’t finished my blanket yet - it’s now in storage. It will be a combination of a few years when it gets finished.

This got me thinking. There are days in the store when I have a few minutes and want something to knit on but don’t want anything with lots of counting or fancy stitches. I am going to do a store blanket. These are my colours. Originally I used 16 colours but this time I am using 14. It will be the light blue/green for the coldest and the dark purple grey for the warmest. Not exactly temperature like but I like how the colours go together. This time I am going to cast on 200 stitches so it is more of a throw than a blanket.

I cast on yesterday afternoon and finished two days. I started day three.

It was a lazy day at my house. I’m working on my Framed Sweater and will have pictures tomorrow. 

Beth and I are doing a visit to the new house tomorrow. The owners are away and we’ll have time to walk through and get some measurements. I’m very excited!!
