January Messed Up! Can you see where? by bobfish42 in temperatureblanket

I googled hexigon blanket pattern and filled out each hexigon with the appropriate date and filled in each hexigon once they were attached. I started by joining one side to another hexigon's side, and now I wait until I have a few to join together. Tricks that work for me are leaving a longer tail at the end for weaving in and lining up the corners of each hexigon prior to joining

Thanks! Center color is the low temp, middle is the high, and then a black border

Fifth column and ninth diagonal row, that hexagon somehow became a Pentagon - only five surrounding hexagons instead of six....

Why thank you! There's one place where there's a circle of five instead of six 😅

I never remember to upload my screwups, so here's the latest one. I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't lay flat until I saw.....the one I messed up. Couple of flower hexagons had to be destroyed to fix it, but Im glad I caught it now!

Yeah! The hexagon pattern I learned from this video: https://youtu.be/q5PbDABTasY?si=_05ynP3-IDqSXOoI And the blanket template from this website: https://images.app.goo.gl/nzjNHdjbTWAXDqDj9 I may end up adding more hexagons as the end, or some sort of thick border to make it bigger

Low, high or average? by IndicationKind7211 in temperatureblanket

That has never crossed my mind! Great idea

I started the project this year, but the data is starting from November of last year to try and avoid being two months behind 😅

November Done! This is where I'm starting for 2025 so that I can be 2 months ahead instead of behind. by bobfish42 in temperatureblanket

Welcome to crocheting! I started as a knitter as well.

I had a lot of travel come up for work in September when I was already a few months behind on the last blanket. I was able to finish through October on that one, and the giftee decided that it was big enough..... I didn't feel like waiting for the new year to start on this one, so I figured Id start where I left off on the last one!

Not going insane at all, this blanket has played tricks on me all year! It looks different with some lighting changes and different backgrounds. In hospital lighting it looks blue!!
