I\u2019ve 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.

Sounds like a very interesting project.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:windowtext'>Tracy<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:windowtext;mso-ligatures:none'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:windowtext;mso-ligatures:none'> NFB-Blind-Crafters <nfb-blind-crafters-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>slery via NFB-Blind-Crafters<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, July 6, 2025 12:58 AM<br><b>To:</b> Tracy Carcione via NFB-Blind-Crafters <nfb-blind-crafters@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> slery <slerythema@gmail.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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><br>Cindy<span style='mso-ligatures:none'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 7/5/2025 12:48 PM, Tracy Carcione via NFB-Blind-Crafters wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>It\u2019s Successful Saturday!
