February was very pink, meaning that the temperature was between 5°C and 14°C. I don't know how much that is in Fahrenheit.
Meanwhile, I've read a grand total of 7 books this month (which for me is A LOT) and decided to put it at use and started a YT channel on book reviews.
Mental health was struggling a bit, but I'm getting back on track...I think.
In the past months, I resumed my crochet hobby to help cope with my mental health, which has been steadily degrading during the past two years.
For those of you who don't know, I moved from Italy to Germany to live with my long-term partner. Living as an expat isn't easy. I've been struggling along the way because of work (I teach Italian and beginner-level German) and isolation in general.
Lately, I'm trying to slow down with work and dedicate some time to things I enjoy. I began studying to obtain a PhD, I've joined a gym (my back looks jaaaaaacked), I've been digging true-crime videos, I've been reading and I've been crocheting.
As resolution for 2024, I decided to create a temperature blanket. It's a year-long commitment: everyday, I crochet two lines of blanket, while changing the yarn according to the outside temperature.
This is my first month of temperature blanket! I think my only mistake was to choose a yarn which is multicolor, but oh well. I hope it turns out good in the end.
So far, I've used five different printed yarns (the first 5 yarns in the scheme) and 3.00mm hook. You can see my temp range reference.
As for the stitch, I chose a moss (or linen) stitch, which consists of an alternance of chains and single stitches.
There's a lot of violet yarn because it's been very cold. Also a lot of red yarn.
I'm going to crochet a dividing line after every month. For that purpose, I'm using white yarn.
All the yarn I've used comes from Hobbii.
