#LBYTEMPBLANKET Feel free to personalize your blanket! Change your stitch, swap your colors (or add colors for higher temps if you live in a very warm area. Perhaps Hot Pink and Burgundy?) I like to use the high temperature for the day to determine my color, however, some people prefer low temperature or you can…

This week I stumbled upon some Mandala® Ombre in Mantra and Tranquil. The cake of Tranquil had pops of an aqua color showing that pulled the blue green tones of the Mantra cake in. It’s a match! I’m not the type to always be super “girly” with lots of pinks and purples, but I do…

Today I’m going to look at a few “classics” that are warmer weather friendly. Navajo Blanket Shrug…

Phew, gauge swatching is officially over with! Now onto the math… via GIPHY Guys…one thing I hate more than gauge swatching…math. I’ll admit it now, I’m awful at it, always have been and always will be. That’s why I wanted to keep this blanket very simple with garter stitch. To find out how many stitches…
