At the beginning of the month, I mentioned playing yarn chicken with multiple crochet projects, including a historical temperature blanket project.
Umm… that blanket was for my mother.
And wasn’t done yet… I was partway into month nine when she passed.
The decision not to finish it was an easy one. After all, who else would need a historical temperature blanket tracking the high for the day in her city of birth, starting at her birthdate?
The real question was whether to frog (that means undo) the seven or eight days in month nine that were already done – leaving me with awkwardly small sections of yarn for each – or finish off that row. As it happens, the row I was working on already included the date she died, so it seemed logical to finish just that row. I also decided to mark that chain with something extra, in this case a gradient white to gray yarn, to make it stand out.
And now we have another crocheted blanket in the living room, of different styles and weights for all our blankety needs.
