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. ^^;

20240301 132755

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. Thinkies

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. :saddummy: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.

THIS IS SUPER EXCITING. Excited

You may have noticed from the previous months, but IT IS OFFICIAL NOW. Categories are not a thing anymore and we CVs are allowed a biiit more freedom in what we choose. Sort of. :D


As far as I am concerned, these are the media I am allowed to feature from (I will try to keep some balance between media):

  • Pixel art

  • Digital art

  • 3D art

  • Tutorials


Don't worry if you cannot see if a deviant had a Daily Deviation in the six months prior to your suggestion, just send it to me and I will see if it's possible. :) Self suggestions are always welcome, I have featured them in the past and I'm not going to stop!


You can suggest a Daily Deviation to me with the following means:

  • A good old note

  • In a private chat (just keep it sane, please :XD:)


If you want to suggest a DD to another CV, please refer to the following journal:

And please, please, PLEASE, check my Featured DDs 2020 favorite folder to see what kind of art I usually feature. Please. :please:
