I had been quite intrigued for a few years about “Temperature Projects” and really kept thinking about starting one. Then late in 2017, I was just scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed and there was an ad for a super long lumbar pillow in an Aztec type print with lots of beautiful reds and vibrant colors and it just “whammied” me! I knew then what I wanted my first temperature project to be. And here it is – all done.
When I began this project, I really had no idea it was going to be quite so long. It’s a little too long for my king size bed, but it’s still quite fabulous if I do say so myself.
I started the first row in Violet since it was the 2017 Color of the Year and then just went from there. I had about 5-6 degrees for each color that I used; sparkly white for snow; melon for mostly rain days; red white and blue for holidays like 4th of July, Veteran’s Day etc. I also chose a fun color for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I made a pillow liner than I stuffed inside just in case this monstrosity ever needs washed. I have little ties on the final row.
I am quite thankful that this one is done – it was time consuming, but not near as much as a blanket. I think each row was 102 stitches around.
That said, my 2019 temperature project will be a little bit different:D
