Oh right, this exists.

It's less contrasty
in real life

I seriously had no idea it had been that long since my last blog post.

So the WeatherCAL that Arja invited me to! Is making progress! I do fall behind occasionally, but I'm all caught up now. I've made a few changes to the color scheme – that jump from yellow to pink was just too abrupt, so I went in search of an orange. That is not the fashion color this season; no solid sock yarn at all, and the other types at that gauge were all danger-sign bright, so I bought a 100g skein of gradient orange-ish sock yarn and now I have to figure out how to use only the darkest bits. Fortunately orange is for 25°–27°, so the light should be good enough by then. If I were using it for a temperature likely to occur in January, I'd be sunk.

My progress so far

The colors now

 This is fun! I'm finding it takes about half an hour to crochet one square and attach it to the blanket. I really love the colors it is right now, but I sure hate what they represent: it's COLD! I mean okay, the lows happen in the middle of the night when I'm snug a-bed, but that little green square is my favorite one so far and I am looking forward to having more of them.

I promise to try and update a little more often than every two months from here on out.
