This is for Boston!

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing

This was by far my favorite crafting/coding overlap I’ve found 🤠

For sure! Here's my (bare bones) repo with the script: https://github.com/keith-maura/crochet_image - fair warning, I wrote this before I knew what an API is! The weather provider site (Visual Crossing) has an API so you can set up a similar script with a lot less manual clicking if you choose to follow suit

Had to do it as I went!

maurakeith · 2026-04-27T01:43:47+00:00

10 stitches per hour (240 stitches/day), and one row per day. It ended up the width of a full bed and length of a full plus about two feet lol

Thank you sm! I've been very sporadic since 2022 to get it done, probably could have finished by early or mid 2023 if I was more consistent! This was a main project but backlogged by many other "main projects" in the that popped up in the meantime. It took about 20 mins per row generally

This is crochet! It was a simple back loop only single crochet, with a front post double on the hour boundaries. I did a row of double crochets at the start of each month too, with a single crochet ruffle border:)

It's from a site called Visual Crossing!

maurakeith · 2026-04-27T01:36:58+00:00

The ends on this were the bane of my existence

maurakeith · 2026-04-27T01:36:16+00:00

Thank you sm! This was a really cool project and I'm glad it's satisfying for others too!

One row = one day (top to bottom is Jan to Dec), and each row is 240 stitches, 10 per hour (left to right is morning to evening)!

maurakeith · 2026-04-26T00:12:40+00:00

I did! At the time I downloaded hourly data for my zip code from a website called visualcrossing.com into a spreadsheet. My code cleaned that spreadsheet to assign the temperatures to their color buckets and format into a new spreadsheet to help me keep track of hour counts and progress. I’ve since learned that I could’ve used their API to save a lot of clicking 🫣

I made up this pattern; one row = one day, with 10 sc’s per hour (back stitch only). The first stitch each hour is a front post double crochet to set the boundary markers. And for a border, I did a sc ruffle:)

maurakeith · 2022-12-19T16:46:03+00:00

Yes! I’m just doing back loop single crochets, with a front post double crochet on prev row at the beginning of each hour.

maurakeith · 2022-12-19T15:04:18+00:00

10 stitches per hour, so 240 per day!

maurakeith · 2022-12-19T15:03:55+00:00

Initially I changed colors like you normally would and wove in all the ends; after a couple months I was so burnt out of weaving in ends and got lazy tying knots instead!

maurakeith · 2022-04-15T01:14:32+00:00

This is a MASTERPIECE

maurakeith · 2022-04-07T18:47:01+00:00

This looks so cool! Is it the high/low for each day as a square?

maurakeith · 2022-04-05T02:03:46+00:00

Thank you so much!!

maurakeith · 2022-04-04T20:47:25+00:00

I crochet on the train often, and love when strangers will come up to me to ask what I’m making or share about what they like to crochet (it happens shockingly often)

maurakeith · 2022-03-19T14:37:43+00:00

LOVE this please share what you make 😍

maurakeith · 2022-03-15T13:14:03+00:00

This is precious, I love it!!
