This year, I've decided to try a crochet every day project. I'm crocheting a flower each day and stitching them onto a blanket, and by the end of the year I'll have a flower field. Here are the flowers from week 1: two daisies, three creeping phlox, two poppies.

#crochet #crochet365 #it's like a temperature blanket #but instead it's measuring how much free time I had that day #I expect to make a lot of quick tiny flowers in the near future

I think I'm going to make a temperature blanket this year

#generally people would plan for this earlier. but. I only JUST thought of it last night #I'm considering like a mood blanket / mental health blanket or whatev instead. one of those alternate concepts #but I FEEL LIKE categorizing my mood / mental health day by day would do something to me #and I don't really want to tell on myself that hard. showing off the finished blanket and ppl going oohh... there's a lot of this color!#what mood are these two colors for!#and i'm gonna have to crumple up my color key chart and eat it before they can find out #idk maybe I'll still try that way. but temperature just feels more like. yeaahahhhhh go with the flow buddy #I bought a ton of yarn recently bc there was a black friday sale and I was grabbin skeins for $2 so I shouldn't really need to do shopping #maybe pick up another color or two. but I can probably just bust out my own stash I already have #sergle.txt #crochetposting

When you moved into a big cold castle and the only sources of heat are your insane new coworkers

#UTDR #UTMV #Bad Sanses #I imagine of the main three Horror would feel the cold more #Since the other two have a lot of lvl coursing through them to keep them warm #And Nightmare is probably pretty insulated by the corruption #I know they all come from a snowy town and probably don't feel temperature but I'm being silly and having fun so #Also Nightmare does eventually catch on and get them a supply of blankets for when it gets colder #Horror still sometimes holds one of them against him like a heating pad tho. Just for fun

I was on a long car ride with some coworkers from a different department last week and at some point I mentioned my temperature blanket where I knit a row every day to record the temperature for that day. The guy driving was like “oh that’s kinda weird”

Like buddy THAT’s your bar for weird???? Literally the most normal thing I’m doing right now

#knitting #temperature blanket #and then my other colleague said she saw something similar on Facebook except they were recording some bodily function and it was gross #so I said #oh! the poop blanket!#like it’s a thing everyone knows #which was not what she was talking about and may have weirded out both of them

Hey y'all! It's weird question time again! I think I might've asked this one before but I can't remember 1. Does high intensity exercise measurably drop your temperature? (as measured by one of those forehead thermometers) 2. Can the "high intensity exercise" be just singing while playing piano? 3. When I tried to tell a doctor I am bad at thermoregulation a while back and he kinda condescendingly said "no, human bodies are very good at that"...like...most people don't go into opossum body temperature range when they try to exercise, right???? You don't get so cold the bones in your hands and feet ache when it's only like low 60s in the house???? edit: my normal temperature is around 98.6 fahrenheit but if my body kicks into "getting too hot better adjust temperature mode" it will easily drop a full degree. The lowest I've gotten was in the 96 degree range, which is in the range for opossum body temperature, and I said "hey I'm opossum temperature!" when I saw the thermometer and it's one of those phrases you cannot unthink so it stuck

#the person behind the yarn #tj asks weird questions #for the record 'opossum temperature' is one of those phrases doctors are both amused and bemused by #also confused #up there with 'hey! I have normal human blood pressure today!'#in my experience my body is very very good at cooling down #because that involves getting rid of salt (sweating) and lowering blood pressure (vasodilation of blood vessels near the skin)#and there's nothing my body loves more than getting rid of salt and lowering my blood pressure #except maybe allergies #but it's very bad at warming back up #like sometimes in the winter I will be covered with blankets #and just unable to warm them up at all #cold to the touch. don't know why!#this winter was less bad than previous winters #but I also started my new meds in the fall and they are steroids #I suspect long term steroids might like. affect that #also I am living in a different house now and it didn't get as cold

sneepy cozy time....

#cats #longing to one day hopefully feel sleepy cozy like this again...#There was a pretty cool week here so I thought we had progressed closer to cool fall weather but... NO #..wrong!! It's like 80F in my room right now and was 98F outside yesterday. We get two more 'cooler' days and then #it starts going up again and will be in the high 90s possibly 100 something later this week #in my mind september should be COOOOOLLLL!!!!! or at least STARTING to get there.. Like mid 80s at the highest.#I am going to explode the world with evil wizard powers aaRGHaaHHHHHHHH #OR at least it should get down really low at night. I think thats the main thing is if it's 95 in the day and only 62 for like 3 hours in #the middle of the night then even leaving a fan in windows all night is not enough to fully cool down the house because its just not #enough cold air or cool for long enough. If it were 98 in the day but 15F outside at night then you could probably bring cool air inside al #night and your house would be at a relatively low starting point for the next days heat.#Like for example - in my apartment on a hot and sunny day. Even with every window #closed and blocked off with thick layers of reflective stuff and also not using the stove or doing anything to generate heat - the apartmen #will still go up on average about 6 - 8 degrees in one day. Peaking around 8 - 10pm night time. If I start off with the house cooled down #to 60F. then the highest it would get is 66 - 68 which is tolerable #.But if the lowest I can cool the apartment all night is still only 75F #then it's going to be 81 - 83F by the end of the day. So really it would be bearable (ISH)#for it to be warm as long as it was colder at night.#Though still the IDEAL is to not have to structure my life around envrionmental management and constantly be checking the #outdoor temperature so I can put the fans in the second that it's colder outside than it is inside and putting elaborate curtain systems #up and down at the exact right times and meal prepping 4 days in advance so I dont have to use the stove for 3 days and blah blah blah #Life in the colder weather months is so effortless and breezy in that sense. I can just have the window open all day and get natural light.#I can cook whatever I want. I can wear what I like. I can move around the house freely without needing to always #carry a fan around with me or douse myself in water.#ANYWAY.... oh if only that were me.... snuggled in a warm blanket ... a comforting wintery image...

instead of a temperature blanket I'm going to make an infinitely more depressing light pollution blanket where the colours are just the colours of the sky out my window at night

#ong why is the sky GREEN #light pollution #this is like my 50th post about light pollution #but ill never stop #pollution #craft #knitting #crochet #temperature blanket

so i'm crocheting a temperature blanket this year. my initial instinct was to say it's for my 32nd year but that's not actually how birthdays work so instead i'm awkwardly going with "the year i'm 32" and shortening it to just 32 mostly. anyway, that's besides the point.

i have the colour palette/yarn, i have the pattern (toni lipsey's linen stitch pixel temp blanket), i made a gauge swatch, i've started tracking temps (i've recorded hi/lo starting on dec. 8).... but fuck, i'm having so much trouble figuring out the temperature gauge!!!

i can't decide what the intervals should be, i can't decide if i want purples to be warm temps or cold temps or where to put the neutrals, i can't decide if i want to fiddle/tweak(/cheat?) and use the lows for the cold temps instead of the high which was the initial plan.... i just don't know!!! ugh.

#temperature blanket #temperature gauge #personal #crochet #whine whine complain complain #(i know it's not cheating bc it's my blanket/project and no one else's. i'm just so unsure)#i feel like if it was -20 early in the morning in jan but then warmed up to like -5 midday #then recording that day as -5 wouldn't accurately reflect the temperature variation? so that's why i'm thinking of using the low #but then i'm like. most often the low will be during the middle of the night which... is that representative??? idk????#and also like... representative of what??#i welcome advice or thoughts but reserve the right to ignore it if it makes me more confused lmao #i just have to pick something and stick with it for a bit #i guess if i find it's not working for me / not turning out how i'd like i can just tweak it from that point forward #except for the colour group assignment i guess #by which i mean purples = cold or whatever will be set in stone #i mean not literally. but i would not want to switch that up once i've started actually crocheting #i'm so conflicted about this bc i desperately want to start the project but i'm so so so unsure about the temp gauge

You absolutely cannot cry around Shoto Todoroki because he treats it the same as if you caught a cold and doesn’t leave you alone nor get over it for 4 (four) whole business days

#Todoroki #he’s like ‘oh my god u need hot soup and rest immediately and pedialyte and oh my god a cough drop’#and you’re like no I do not I need healthy coping mechanisms #but by that point the kettle is already on and he’s getting u a blanket #sopping wet emotional support puppy #it is so cute and funny #except when it’s 5 days later and he’s still checking ur temperature like it has anything to do with ur mood #and you wake up to him asking if you’re sad #BOY!#anyway crying rn lol #gen #shii posts

A warm round of applause for blankies!!!!!!!

#Upgraded back to two blankets. Everything is right in the world. I am at peace.#The weight. The warmth. The coziness.#If I knew it would stay this cold and I didn't have to worry about the temperature going back up......ten blankets ASAP.#All the weight. All the warmth. All the comfort. All the peace.#But two blankets is better than one.#Even my warmest favouritest blanket that is always the blanket that touches my skin on the blanket stack. The one I never put away.#Just feels like a mere sheet. Just a weasily old layer on top of me for my bedtime amusement. A second blanket is all the difference.#I just feel so content. This is how it should always be. At minimum.#But alas......heat........#I'll never. NEVER give up a blanket. It could be hot enough to boil water and I'll still sleep with a blanket.#But I must admit defeat at put away my extra blankets during the dreaded summer.#BUT WE ARE SO BACK!

Hopping on the color temperature discourse train to say that I love the mental image of like— reversing the association of red and blue and having blue represent summer temps— thinking of summer blue skies and the ocean. Red for winter temps bringing to mind cheeks red with cold and holly berries and cardinal feathers. Idk I just think that’s neat!

i, too, think it's neat!!! I also just like the idea of-- specifically on the topic planning of Temperature Blanket™ palettes-- not being so literal with "cold" colors and "hot" colors. if you CAN get creative with it, I think it's boring NOT to. It's a year long project, so it needs to be interesting. as an aside, I also like the idea of leaving color palettes behind entirely, and doing a very straightforward gradient scheme as your temperature gauge. Like buying yarns like this that are already dyed into a gradient, and just being like "ok. done."

just pick which end of the spectrum is High temps and which one is Low temps, and get cracking. It doesn't have to be symbolic of the Season the temperatures would occur in at all.

#I pivoted back to the og topic which was crochet lol because I'm. still. just thinking in terms of temperature blankets #but in a broad sense I still don't particularly enjoy red=hot blue=cold #I would like to do a gradient type theme next year I think #SOME BITCH #I lost the ask. SOME FUCK sent me a recommendation for 'a hundred ravens' yarn. and I'm SICK. because that pic is from them #and I'm pissed that I saw this After already supplying myself with the yarn I need + being Set on my plan.#because I think these dye jobs are so beautiful and would be so stunning as a temperature project.#sick and twisted.#sergle answers #crochetposting

Please tell me im not the only one that just cannot sleep in warm rooms or generally places that are too warm for me

#pawl3ss #3am things #shitpost again #like i can sleep in a freezer if id want to and id be alr. i sleep under a blanket that is also as warm as a warm room and im alr #as soon as the room is a bit too warm my eyes get wide open like u will not catch me sleeping that night #its probably bc i cant controll the warmth now and i cant just take the blanket off to feel cooler -#- bc if i do i will still feel warm and i cant controll it anymore. but idk #ghhrhhrjf i hate hot temperatures >:(#anyway #goodnight guys <3

Top temp June: 26°C

Top temp overall: 26°C, June 5th

Lowest temp June: 8°C

Lowest temp overall: -3°C, Jan 17th

Also check out my jar of 6 months worth of colour change ends
