Here We Go Again

Here’s the colour palette for my 2024 crochet temperature blanket.

I was going to use the same colour scheme as last year as I have so much yarn left over, but discovered the one colour I only have half a skein of (aqua) has been discontinued. After some debate, I decided I wanted more purple this year so have kicked lilac up a temperature slot & inserted violet. It does mean this year & last year’s blankets won’t be directly comparable, but on the other hand… purple. :)
Out of curiosity- how do you handle overlap? I mean - if it’s 2 degrees - how do you decide between first blue and lake blue?

(I picked out my colours but already recalibrating…. 😞)

Ps…. “Purple” indeed 😁💜😈☂️

@northy We work to one decimal place, so 2.0 is Frost Blue and 2.1 is Lake Blue. My little label printer has limited symbols. :)

I originally planned to a different palette this year, but I have so much yarn left over that I might as well go another year. I quite fancy doing one of the monochrome palettes at some point.
Are you going for a rainbow palette or something different?

Shades of grey…. Which is a bit limiting…. I just figured out this weekend a way I could’ve done actual colours without making myself crazy, but kind of committed at this point…. Other than still figuring out the distribution…

@northy Sounds interesting! I bet you have much bigger temp swings than we do here. Not sure if that’s good or bad. ;)

Global warming is making it weird…. And I didn’t spend enough time doing analysis on what the distribution was last year so mostly just guessing although I might spend some time looking into it tonight….


Then again…. I need this not to become a rabbit hole for me to get lost in…. I mean…. Does it really matter hugely at the end of the day if the point spreads aren’t even or if I screw up a day or whatever?

@northy Nope! Toni at TL Yarncrafts has a great video about temp blankets and one of her points is the bands don’t have to be even.
Just have fun with it.
