2025 temperature blanket: Month 1 Update

[@117Pinkyflower]

I have got to learn to crochet! Can’t wait to see this blanket finished! ❤️

[@viviennesmith3780]

Actually, I think that you are a great teacher. Having the camera placed above you is really helpful to see clearly all the steps you are taking to make each flower. Thank you, Salina. ❤️

[@veritadea]

I’m not into yarn crafts at all but I’m happily obsessed with your work. You are creative, kind, smart and a great teacher! Thank you for your content ❤ 🧶 🌡️

[@hockeymomWA]

Same!

[@MargDegraaf]

I’ve tried crochet & knitting for years. My mother in law started to tech me but she’d go so fast & certainly wasn’t patient. Just watching you do the circle just taught me how to do my first successful circle. I could hug you. Lucky I’m home alone because I did the happiest squeal. Thank you Salina ya little Gem. I should come out for a holiday & hire you to teach me everything.. 😋😋. 💃💃💃💃 happy dance. 😊😊

Your mom has a good idea, the fleece backing. Double flowers would be way too heavy I would think but it's whatever you would want for your bed or whatever you are going to use it for.

[@debrasedgwick4386]

I like to use fleece to back my granny square afghans.. Makes them less "breezy".

[@SusanG-hv5xs]

Also flowers with front and back would snag on a lot thing.

[@Linda-j7y6w]

Love you,Salina! You are very talented and it is fun to watch you create your blanket!😊

[@moviegirl_555]

I have watched a video from you probably a year ago and your videoing/vlogging skills are so improved since🥰 I've never seen a temperature blanket so will be waiting for your updates❤

[@MelissaSims-i4z]

I’ve been Crocheting for years, thanks for teaching me this new blanket with flowers 😊👍

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

I want to do it again but not as a temperature blanket 🤣

[@hockeymomWA]

Im super impressed with your skills!!!❤

[@SpellBook92]

Thank you for explaining how to do the flowers!!☺ I really appreciate it! and you are a great teacher😉

[@shirleyharvey7376]

I’m glad you’re back daily!! You spoiled us with vlogmus❤️

[@Ash-Ley77]

Youre super talented girl. I dont even crochet but I LOVE seeing everything you make. I simply enjoy your personality ❤ p.s we love your husband also and happy he is getting more comfortable in the videos! More lego builds please!!!!

[@mymothersdaughter1265]

Do white for your filler flowers

[@jessicag1714]

Love this idea with the flowers. Very nice!

[@marionbarrow6820]

I love watching you crochet and so envious. That’s my goal for this year to learn how to Crochet 😂 wish me lucky

[@marywesley316]

I’m so excited to start on this tonight with you. You’re a very good teacher

[@jacquelinetennant5049]

Loving your take on this style of blanket.

[@colleenrieger9538]

Thank you , excited to make these thanks too you 🌺

[@michellepelkey51]

I love your temp blanket so far! So cool. I think your filler flowers should be white. You could even do them white petals with a black or brown center( like a traditional daisy) then you could get a fleece or flannel daisy backing to match maybe. It’s going to turn out so awesome! Love seeing you daily.

[@coffeenut9154]

you are so talented love all your creations and as far as joann goes stock up tell jared it is a needed expense lol and you just have to find room maybe shelves in the spare room to stock pile the yarn maybe for a filler color use white and the middle any color that would look nice your not using white as the base flower so use white for the flower and whatever color for the middle

[@maylinehan9135]

You are a great teacher. Equally so, with such a soothing voice.

[@hockeymomWA]

I have a quilt someone made me and it has a flannel backing which is so cozy.

[@cathymattingly9362]

I love your temperature blanket.You are a good teacher.thanks.

[@hockeymomWA]

This is a serious commutment on this temperature blanket!!

[@irenestrongrock4106]

This is the coolest temperature blanket I’ve ever seen! Also, white would be a good filler color

[@paularice4501]

I think I would just use your center color for the fill in flowers

[@tammibond1683]

You explained everything very well. I’m gonna make a temperature blanket this year also. I have been recording the temps each day but haven’t started it yet because I can’t make up my mind what stitch to use. I will share my work as I progress.

[@wolfhound1452]

What a unique idea. I live in Alberta, Canada and we have wild swings of temperature (in Celsius measures). This is such a neat project. Thank you for sharing.

[@brendacampuzanolopez]

Curious to know why your nail beds are blue? We are visiting Homer& Seward in June! So excited! Happy crafting 💛

[@michellepelkey51]

I think she had on black nail polish that may have stained them…..

[@hiddenangel8515]

YESSSSS🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌THANK YOU SSOOO MUCH FOR SHOWING US HOW TO MAKE THE FLOWERS 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@marionrobison1080]

You are so talented. Exciting to see you work on the color blanket.

[@LelyaAlsworth]

beautiful!

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

Thanks Mom

[@bumblebeeb5147]

Such a good teacher

[@nrobinson7951]

Hi Salina, hope you have a good day.

[@shelbybroom]

Solid white flowers for fillers

[@Mudd_1969]

I have seen where people put a neutral color row in between the months so each month is separated

[@denise-t8d4q]

Good afternoon!

[@carriegrosenick6426]

Thanks for sharing how to make flowers

[@Coffissa-S0]

❤ Love it😊

[@FearlessRVLiving]

for the fillers, you could do white petals with random colored circles? **ETA: you could do the average temp of the month as your circle color!

[@irenestrongrock4106]

Ok that’s a solid idea

[@zinnialoveci6634]

❤❤❤

[@Alldo23a]

❤

[@Victoria-z8l6l]

I Googled what people are using to back a croched temperature blanket. Most people are using a soft cotton or flannel cloth. Then putting stitches all over the blanket to keep the backing in place. Just like backing a quilt.

[@gloriaportwood9567]

For your filler flower how about do flowers with 6 different color petals that way is the same colors you have

[@cindystephens6997]

I would do a fleece backing

[@7peacefrog]

I have wanted to make a temperature blanket, but have never done before. But I haven't seen 1 done like this before, but it looks really neat! Is this how and where I get started? And is this something that someone that has never made a (temperature blanket) before can make? I have crochet and knitted before, but (sorry) again have never made 🥺Thank you for any help or info. you can share or give me

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

This is my first time doing it too, so this is a learning curve for me every week! I would say it has been very manageable so far, and the flowers are not hard to do once you get the hang of it! I’m hoping to show how I join the flowers together in the blanket in month #2

[@7peacefrog]

@@salinaalsworth_ak Thank you, and can't wait to see how it all comes along! I also love that you live in Alaska. I have always wanted to go and see it, and your temps. will be in a much larger numbers. P.S. I forgot to ask with me getting started so late, might you know how I would or could find out all the temps. for the month of January ? Thanks again

[@laurenk88pa]

I was thinking fleece also. Does that yarn brand make a variegated yarn? If so maybe try that as your filler flowers?

[@GARDENOFLIFE2024]

L❤VE🌹

[@wendytobey157]

Off Topic. Maybe camera or something else and nothing but concern intended. It looks like your nail beds are blue.

[@salinaalsworth_ak]

I just took off my nail polish that’s probably why 🤣

[@wendytobey157]

@salinaalsworth_ak phew! Lol, I was a little worried for you. ❤️ 💙
