But 2022 beat all records and we had 40C on 19th July. I wanted to mark that on my scarf. What to do? I didn't want to buy ten more colours, but to use just one for everything above 30C seemed inadequate.
So I compromised. I took the extra colour I had bought and used it for 31C to 35C, bought an extra colour for 36C to 39C and used white for that one day at 40C.
And yesterday I got my knitting right up to date.
My weather scarf was April-April in the first year of lockdown. I had to buy an extra "hot" colour - but it was nothing like as hot as this year!
ReplyDeleteI hope this year's top temp won't be repeated for a while!
DeleteI think your scarf is a good idea. I know people doing the 1000 Mile challenge who have knitted scarves in a similar way, showing the distances they have walked. Others have made granny square blankets. How long will it be when you've finished ?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm just doing temperatures! Couldn't face a 1000 mile challenge!
DeleteI'm not sure I could have stuck with it through the heat. What is the end date?
ReplyDeleteI catch up about once a month. the end date is 22nd October 2023.
DeleteThose are lovely! I have tried to knit but never got the hang of it. Those look so cozy though!
ReplyDeleteI had many attempts before I finally cracked it!
