For more details on all our yarn bases, click here.This weather project uses fifteen colors to create a project celebrating and marking the season changes. You can choose to knit the daily high, daily low, or the daily average. Most days have you knitting one row, longer light days have you knitting more than one row. See the temperature chart above for our color recommendations. If you live somewhere that is consistently hotter or colder, you might just want to move. ;)
Each month we’ll explore a different stitch pattern, recording that month’s weather changes. All stitches will be simple enough for most knitters. This is a great daily knitting ritual—a relaxing end of the day project. Don’t worry if you get behind, you should be able to find weather history online.
