The First Crochet Project

About a year ago I found a crochet project online and having got a little bored of just doings lots of chain or going backwards and forwards practicing crochet stitches, I thought this might be a good project to hone my skills.
It is a temperature blanket. It consists of granny squares using different colours to represent the temperature for each day - so that means a whopping 365 squares to crochet. That should be good, regular practice if nothing else.
It was easy enough to find historical temperatures on the internet but I must have forgotten about the project or maybe I did decide to wait until this year.
So on New Year's Eve when younger people were out partying, I was at home with a glass of something and surfing the web looking at colours and eventually buying wool. That might not have been my best idea as some of the colours were not ideal when they arrived and there were gaps, but with another shopping spree a few weeks later, I had my range of colours sorted and lined up as above.
It might make more sense now looking at the colours as obviously the cool blues represent the cold temperatures and the reds the nice hot ones - watch it be a cold miserable summer this year! With the colours sorted and all lined up in order, I was ready to go.
