Y'all, im so proud of this one. Idc the pics aren't great, the finished item wasn't so perfect either. But I had so much fun making this one. Story of the piece first, then pattern info below
This project has tons of meaning to me n I figured I'd share the story here.
I made this project for a friend who also crafts. We chat regularly about our crafts and she often makes art for me and everyone in my apartment. We have some creative overlap, but not a ton. Historically, I've not been so great at crafting for others and hadn't made anything for her yet.
In any case, we chat with each other about crafts we see that we are excited about or think the other may be excited about. One day when she was over, we were chatting crafts again and she mentioned she was seeing lots of temperature blankets in her feed n wondered if I'd ever thought about making one.
Truth be told, I'd never made one for myself and couldn't see myself wanting to make one. I let her know this as well. Not for any particular reason, just never felt the need to. It was a pretty casual conversation and we moved onto other topics.
Fast forward a bit and we are chatting again and she lets me know her partner had proposed. She said yes and they had set a date for two years in the future for a special date for them.
It clicked maybe a month later that this time frame, their engagement period, would be perfect for a temperature blanket. I had doubts at first if I wanted to make it, but started getting thoughts on how to work it all out. The only thing I had for certain was fall pallet for the colors as it's their favorite season. I talked it over with some other friends who also know her, and after many many many reassurances, I decided to go for it.
Honest, this is the most I'd ever planned for any project. I researched types of temperature blankets, typical temperature ranges for our area, how to divide the time frame and temperature range, I swear, it's a whole spreadsheet with many tabs of research and planning. In the end, I decided on 9 colors with about 7°F increments where each chevron represents the average temperature for one week of their engagement. I also made a knitted scale (not pictured) of the colors in order from coldest to warmest and wrote on the card for the gift how the scale lines up to actual temperatures just so she and her family could look back and get more info from it if they ever wanted.
It was helpful to tell myself during the process that she would never see it coming as I'd previously mentioned I wasn't interested in making one. And if she didn't know I was working on it, I could ditch it at any point if it wasn't turning out.
I managed to keep the whole project a secret as I worked on it. Making sure I got advance warning when she would come over so I could make sure it was hidden away, sometimes even just making decoy projects to keep her off the trail. She would definitely suspect something if I all the sudden stopped talking about crafts. It was honestly incredible as it expanded my ability to work on multiple projects at once, which I was definitely not so comfy with when I first started crafting.
As common for gift projects, there was a clock and oh gosh was it a race! I barely had it blocked before I wanted to give it to her (yeah, I know the deadline was only enforced by me), but I wanted to give it to her as an additional wedding gift. I ended up being able to gift it to her at the rehearsal dinner, so really just in time!
I'm so happy with how it turned out, and had so much fun playing with the process and planning for this project. I definitely learned a lot and would have done a few things different if I could go back, but overall I'm super proud of it 😊
Pattern is Frankie Brown's Ten Stitch Zigzag

Two weeks struggling to write more than two sentences and then a whole 3k in a night. Things are crazy, aren't they?
This is just a sweet emotional moment between Kate and Mary before Mary's wedding.
My much and forever thanks to @harnitbee bc she's a huge queen who betas my stuff and listens to me bitch and moan and come up with more ideas than I have the time or energy to deal with.
I hope you like it!

What I love about the wedding of P’Aon and P’Pla is that they accept a book as the wedding gift and they return suitable books to the guests respectively as wedding favours.

A lifetime of recipes
I asked Sharon, "So, how old is this cookbook ...?
"As old as our marriage," she replied.
That would make it ... uh ... 48 years and 151 days old. It came with one of four - yes, four - crockpots we received as wedding gifts in 1975. It was the era of crockpots. (Load em' up in the morning; come home to a fully cooked dinner ... )
As you can see, it's technically no longer a book. It's a collection of food-spattered, barely legible loose pages. But those pages have been consulted as much as any conglomeration of recipes we own. Hence, it's dog-eared condition.
"Is it worth keeping?," I asked.
"Not really," she replied.
But I decided to return it to where I found it - as a souvenir.

New species of fish just dropped! The googly eyed money fishies!
This is not a ‘reblog these fishies in 10 minutes for good luck’ kinda post. Nothing’s gonna happen if you don’t reblog them, but you won’t have any googly eyed money fishies on your blog and that would be a real shame, don’t you think? 😂

This weekend's progress on skelly go round!
I sat out in the garden and crocheted this gift instead of weaving in loose ends of for a different gift... Starting to see the colour change in the yarn now and the building of the main skeletons, loving this progress now!
I thought I'd have to rip back a whole row because I missed one single stitch crucial to the next row, but it turns out I thought I misread the pattern and started incorrectly correcting another stitch 5 rows ago, but I hadn't misread it so I have to frog those 5 rows now 😭 never have I ripped back a project so much haha
[image description: 2 photos. The first shows a round crocheted doily work in progress, lying on a red and white striped beach mat. The doily is mid green in the centre and is slowly transitioning to teal on the outside edge. The doily features skulls and rib cages in a pattern around. The second image shows a close up of one of the skulls and rib cages in the doily. End description]

We're super close y'all! Yep this wedding gift is almost 3 years late but my sister doesn't care because she knows she'll get it eventually XD
I could finish stitching it today but I might not as I have my stream over on Twitch, my name on there is JZsketch and I'll be doing a craft stream so feel free to drop a follow and come along, and my current set up isn't cross stitch friendly so I might be doing something else. But I also need to decide how I want to finish this, I was initially going to frame it but depending how difficult it is to find a frame in my very small budget I may make a pillow, suggestions are welcome!
