Yeah, that's me too apparently. I had been thinking about a crochet project. I don't usually crochet but once in a great while I take into my head to do a little something. I also don't do afghans - EVER.
This January though, I took it into my head to start a temperature blanket. Because why not. I mean, really, lots of people make afghans. It shouldn't be that difficult, right? So I went to the knitpicks website and started color shopping. I knew right off that I wanted to use Swish DK - not to big and not to small but nice and soft and washable. After checking out the colors they had and considering what colors I like I came up with a plan.

By the time my first order arrived January was more than half gone so I was starting out behind the 8 ball already. So I began tracking the local high temps for each day and planning for when the I could start.
Have you ever created a temperature blanket? Have you ever started a temperature blanket? Do ou prefer bigger project or quicker, smaller projects?
