As it's Wednesday, I thought I'd share what I've been working on this week. I try to work my projects in rotation, with the exception of those designated as 'portable' projects to take with me whenever I have space in my bag. This usually means that each day I work on something different, which helps to keep things interesting and means I feel like I'm making progress on everything, even if it's just the odd row here and there.
Last night's project was the Temperature Blanket for Mr 7. I managed several rows, which doesn't really sound like a lot, but each row is 300 stitches, so even though it's garter stitch, it takes me a while to get from one side to the other.

A few weeks ago a friend asked me for a photo of what I've been working on and so I laid out the blanket on a single bed to snap it. It's the perfect width for a single bed, so that was reassuring because I didn't actually do a gauge swatch when I started it and just based the measurements off of the dimensions of other garter stitch projects I've worked on in the recent past.
I've now reached the middle of August 2017. In the photo above, the bottom black line is the divider for the start of August, so in this next one you can see the progress I've made since then.

I'm enjoying watching the colours change. I can see the bands of red in July, interestingly those fall around the date when Miss 4 would be born three years later. I can see a shift back towards the lighter yellows from the orangey shades, indicating that the temperature was cooling down. Soon I'll be adding in some hints of green. Maybe even by the next time I share it here!
