2017 Temperature Blanket
So I decided to combine my love of data visualization and crochet to create a blanket tracking the daily temperature for Boston, MA.
Guidelines
Colors
The colors are all staple Caron Simply Soft yarn colors, some of which have yet to actually be chosen…
22° and below
23° – 32°
33° – 43°
44° – 53°: Light Blue (TBD)
54° – 66°: Light Green (TBD)
67° – 77°: Green (TBD)
78° – 88°: Yellow-Orange (TBD)
89° and above: Red (TBD)
Data
All my weather data comes the day after from Time and Date.com. The day’s weather is broken up into four sets of high and low (12AM, 6AM, 12PM, 6PM) which I average for the day’s temperature.
Pattern
The pattern I’ve chosen is a larger version of the Feather and Fan Baby Blanket by Alexis Middleton. Instead of the written 119 starting FSC, I’ve done 153 FSC for a larger blanket.
Progress
Just finished stitching day 7 (gray).
