The Ends are in sight!

Here is the progress so far on the temperature blanket. I have changed how I join them together slightly between the bottom two rows of squares - hopefully it will not make much difference but it did seem like I was trying to join a longer piece to a shorter piece by about a square's width. But as it is my first crochet project, it is a learning curve so it doesn't and will not have to be perfect will it?

And here is the reverse - oh my, all those ends to sew in. Could be taking it along to the next knitting group where hopefully I will not notice the monotonous task whilst chatting and listening to the other ladies.

Wash Day

Fairly rubbish picture but you get the idea - this is the Nile and the fox picture from ages ago soaking in the suds - another step nearer to being hung on the wall.

The Last Picture

At long last here is the last individual picture from the Nile - just got to wash and get it framed now. Although I thought it was done, I did find a few odd stitches missing in the river itself and one or two other bits but a small amount of time whilst watching tv soon rectified this.

Almost there

One of the last Nile pictures - not many more left now. :-)

Another Nile Picture

 

Back to the Nile for another picture. This was one of the last ones to do and has been done for some time. I just need to  find a camera or batteries that will take decent photos so I can display some more pictures of the remaining bits.

January's Squares

Here is the progress from January until early February on the temperature blanket. Started to put the squares together in long strips otherwise leaving them to sort and piece together would become quite a slow task. Currently trying to join the strips together.

February's Squares

This little lot of granny squares are the February ones for my temperature blanket. They are made of three rounds - the first represents the minimum temperature, the second  the average, and the third the maximum temperature. The more blue the colder it was and the more green the warmer, with the bright green being warmer still.
I must admit to liking the cold weather but there was something exciting about doing the 2 squares with the bright green where it reached 14 and 13 degrees (20th and 21st if you are interested).
All this makes for a LOT of ends to sew in, especially if we have 3 different temperature ranges in a day - each colour represents 4 degrees in my blanket. It doesn't bear thinking about!
I must sew in as I go along, I must sew in as I go along, I must.......
