I will be looking for multiple colors of black, white and grey.
There are many shades of each color but I need to find a yarn that
is available in the multiple shades. This is part of my planning.<br>

will you depict the temperature with the black, grey, white
color scheme? And my other question. I have thought of
doing a temperature blanket for my granddaughter\u2019s first
year but have been sort of stymie by whether to use the high
or low for the day, a temperature average for the day, or
both the high and low, giving each day 2 rows. So, the
project is still in the brainstorming phase.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:windowtext">I
do like the idea of using different stitches to make the
blanket more tactile. I have also seen descriptions where
a white row depicts a snow day, or a black row separates the
months, A special color, perhaps a red-white-blue variegated
to depict July 4<sup>th</sup>. So many elements to explore
with one of these blankets.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

thought about making a temperature blanket, but I want to
make it more tactile than just changing colors, maybe by
changing texture or yarn thickness. I\u2019ll be real interested
to hear what you come up with for yours. I hadn\u2019t thought
of making a block for each month. Sounds like a very
interesting project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I am making
progress on the cardigan but no steps complete to report this
week.<br>
<br>
I have started planning a temperature blanket that will cover
my first year in my new home. My first night here was July 24,
2024. We had plenty of changes in the temperature so it will
be interesting. I am planning to do 12 blocks for the months
with a border all around and I am considering putting Home
and the date in the border. Since it will be a completed year
by the time I start, I will write out the pattern. I am
wanting to do this in shades of black, gray, and white but
want a machine wash and dry yarn. So, I need to write out the
pattern next and then decide on yarn.<br>

It\u2019s knit on size 4 needles, which I know I can handle
