Not a temp blanket but i just finished row one doing 130 stitches to practice before i make a temp blanket. Im a newbie crocheter inspired by you. Thx

[@HollyAuna]

Omgosh I’m so excited for you!!! Let me know how it goes!

[@BimmerBabe]

You can do a boarder edge in different color for each month. That would be pretty

[@HollyAuna]

Love this idea

[@CsprsSassyHrly]

I love this! I’d be really interested in seeing how that looks. I’m new to crochet and I’ve only ever seen borders in one color but I’m really interested in how this would be done.

[@tgarza521]

I was going to suggest this! She can do a border for each month with the month’s average.

[@BimmerBabe]

@@tgarza521 that would be a great idea to round out the year of temps

[@countermelody167]

@@HollyAuna maybe do a border in the average temperature of the month?

[@destana1xx]

As someone who lives in a state where we experience all four seasons.. I think I’d like to do this for 2023!

[@t3rr0rwh0r3]

I love the fact that it’s based on Nashville temps cause I also live in Tennessee so it’s super relatable haha.

[@CsprsSassyHrly]

I totally get the burn out feeling with the temperature blanket. I started learning to crochet (note: LEARNING - I had never picked up a crochet hook before!) in late March and almost immediately jumped into doing a temperature blanket (started it about a week and a half/two weeks), which meant I was starting the temperature blanket 3.5 months behind. But because I was still having trouble keeping tension consistent and edges straight, I decided to do a granny square blanket (this was also great because I could do high/average/low temperatures for the granny square. I love it, don’t get me wrong - I love the colors I chose, I love zoning out doing it. But doing granny square after granny square after granny square to catch up, then putting it down and working on a Mother’s Day blanket for my mom, I’ve found it’s been hard to pick it back up. I caught up to all the days in late April/early May, but what I hate doing is spending all the time joining and weaving. Because I’m so far behind and because I don’t weave in ends when I finish a square (as a way to get through the days faster), it takes two days to weave in ends for all 18 squares in a row. Then it takes another two or three days to join all 18 squares in a row to each other. Then it takes ANOTHER two or three days to join that row to the main blanket. And by that point, I’m just done with the temperature blanket. I’ve realized I have to have at least one other project to focus on for those times when I just don’t want to work on the temperature blanket. But admittedly, once I caught up to the days, I haven’t touched it since. And now I’m about 20 days behind and have at least 70 days that need to have ends weaved in and be joined to the main blanket. I’ll get it done but, man, is it a challenge right now. In the future, I think I’ll just do the average and not worry about having to join everything. That was incredibly long but I needed to vent my temperature blanket frustrations. 😅

I started a few weeks ago! I’m doing a temperature blanket using the High temp of the city I was born in and the year (1982)! So excited!! Just started February! This is such a great and relaxing project!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@sparkle4051]

Your temperature blanket is beautiful. The color choices are fantastic. I really enjoy watching different crochet videos and the colors that are choosen for their temperature blankets. Great for ideas. The sky is the limit!

[@pinkusdean1178]

Lil tassels or pom poms would be cool for the month markers, having em mirrored on the other end~

[@Jennyhawkins09]

I’m so glad you popped up on my feed! Loving looking through the temp blanket updates. I’m in Chattanooga so I get the crazy warm 60 to cold 18 degree color change in just a couple days 😂

[@alissarice9725]

I love your temperature blanket! What about taking the color for the average temperature for the whole month and making that an edge/border for the length of that month??

[@ellebea4247]

love this idea!!

[@Catholicterp7]

I have friends who introduced me to the idea of using chopsticks for popcorn and other messy finger snacks.

[@underrated.9721]

I love your videos, I have always wanted to do a temperature blanket and I'm glad you started a tutorial on this!!😁🌻

Hi!! I love your videos

[@HollyAuna]

Omgosh thank you

[@dalalalnashi8323]

@@HollyAuna ive never been so addicted to watching someone’s channel

[@shannonpotts7936]

you could crochet along the whole edge (also gives it a smoother look) and then add in your "month marker" colour at each month line.

[@MathIsMagical]

Put a border on your finished blanket that changes color each month. You could just have two colors that alternate each month or take the average temperature for the month and use that.

[@GeekGoggles]

Keep at it. Your updates encourage me.

You could make a little boarder, like a little sown on strip of fabric, and put the indicators on that.

[@crazy4cheddar]

Tassles would not look silly along the edges! Perhaps if you do tassels you could colour co-ordinate them with the average temperature for that month. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

[@darbyllewis_clay]

Watching this in Nashville in dec is funny cause you mentioned the “what if its below 0 or -5” and it has actually been those temps the last 2 days 😂

[@cambinhnguyen2106]

To separate the months, you can add a border😊

[@aiden_storm8182]

This blanket is gonna be absolutely massive!

[@dementedscottishmammy1550]

I need to do this !!!! Going to start it 01.01.2023

[@booksandcrochethooks]

A couple options to mark the month change: Make a solid colored border (black, brown?), but do a single color-change stitch on the 1st of the month line (white or yellow - something light to stand out against the dark border). You could also do a border of lots of tassels in the same fashion (this option is VERY time consuming) with a different color tassel for the beginning of each month.

[@Cyn259]

I like the idea of a different color for the first of each month in a border. I also thought of doing a border of double crochets, and on the first day of the month put a popcorn stitch.

[@sagabydinger2593]

Quick tip: if I wanna snack om chips or popcorn while crocheting (or anything that requires clean fingers), I always use chopsticks!

[@shanasheinfeld6006]

Just an idea: you could do tassels all along the blanket, just make the month separation tassel a different color than the other tassels

[@sofiamakeupchannel8638]

Love you videos you go queen 👑

[@ave8126]

It looks rly rly good and I know Yur gonna get caught up gurl❤️

[@mabonstitcher7032]

I just watched another lady’s video where she just made a chain and weaved it in through her row for division using a darning needle. Even if you just went a few stitches in on each side of the blanket instead of the full row.

[@dalalalnashi8323]

[@marileesavage9938]

Put a fringe on it with a different color (like gray) on the month changes. Or add an embellishment, like a beaded fringe at the end of each month.

[@Max-xz2nz]

You could put a border around the whole thing in 1 color, but for the first of the month do 1 stitch a different color!

[@mads855]

Wow!! I want to start this now :)

[@jaimejohnesee]

You could do tassles of one color for normal and then a different color for the end of the month marker. It's so neat to see, as someone who doesn't have the ability to knit (last time I tried they blamed the result on Mrs. O'Leary's cow). It's so pretty, you did a great job picking colors! 💙

[@julsp7942]

Hi Holly, My suggestion is to crochet a row on the side in black and then everytime you get to the end of a month change the colour to white for the next month. So on the side there is a dashed black and white line! Think it would look super cool. ❤ Your vids btw!

[@ashsanjeev2243]

random comment about the last bit but eating popcorn/ chips with chopsticks is the way to go for me when trying not to get my hands dirty

[@beccasaurus69]

You should do the tassels and do each month a different color :)

[@Jade-ib9np]

Maybe you can crochet a bead on to the separation of each month :)

[@tonyabelcher7158]

I attempted a temp blanket one time....I think I will do one for the weather. Put a border of white around is and mark each pin in another color that is in the blanket.

[@justinapruner6978]

I think tasles would be a great idea. You could do 12 on both sides so they match!

[@Teenagelife953]

Crochet around the edge the temputure that comes up most that month

[@PsychoGamer44]

so one thought could be to to a border in like black and white or blue and red or maybe the gold with white but only 2 colors so that way you can alternate from the top then when you get to the top and bottom either do a solid gold or only do both sides 🤷‍♀️ I hope that made sense 😓 also I like eating messy chips with chop sticks 🤤

[@milagenkova3791]

I am a little late but I suggest making pompons to separate the months

[@Miss.Lexie.Sturniolo]

Sorry I’m late ly I was listening to a podcast

[@magiemycat]

I'm doing my first ever blanket and my first mood blanket is so time consuming. I decided to just make it 1 and a half months of mood

[@reginamuth5794]

You could still do tassels! What if you just used a different color of tassel on the separations?

[@justsomeonewithtoomuchfreetime]

you should add a border for each month and then just assign each month a colour!!

[@fidgets979]

You could use a ribbon and just tie a little piece of ribbon for every nee month (I hope that made sense! |:)

[@lyn_373]

I think you should write the first letter of each month to separate the months and each month that has the same letter just write the next letter and for June and July just writ Jun and jul or just write the whole month name!

[@cows6363]

When you said it takes you 20 minutes my eyes popped out of my head. So now I’m curious how Long is your blanket because mine is 5‘8“ and it takes about 10 minutes for me.

[@ZodiacIlove]

Before i now what a temperature blanket was I was thinking is it a blanket that changes colors?🤣

[@InspirationalSmiles]

You could add those sparkly glitter strings (idk what they’re called, I’ve seen them in hair) maybe you can easily weave in a gold or silver thread?

[@InspirationalSmiles]

Or tassels

[@lobro5063]

Do tassels I think it would look pretty do White tassels

My brain took a moment to process that the lowest temperature you've had was in the teens? The lowest temperature I've lived through over in Wyoming, was -35°

Tassels on both edges so 24 tassels total shouldn't look weird and if it does you can do big tassels to separate the months and smaller ones in between
