A Year in Colour

This is my first crochet project ever, finished almost a year ago now. It is a temperature blanket made up of granny squares with one per day and each square having 3 rounds showing the minimum, average and maximum temperature from the centre outwards respectively. At the beginning/end of each month there is a plain grey square so that you end up with a number that divides easily.
My crochet changed a little over the year with the early squares being a bit smaller than the end squares but as it is only for me I don't suppose that is too important. I feel I need to practice more to learn how to hold the wool properly as I don't seem to be able to get it to flow like experienced crocheters.
In the middle the deep reds represent a hot spell when I happened to be camping. It is interesting to see where we had weather out of season with warm days in the cooler seasons and chilly days in the spring etc. This is for 2017, and I think the summer from 2018 might be interesting - lots of reds I imagine, but I don't think I will be doing another.
Not sure when or what my next crochet project will be as I have far too many other things to finish first.
