And my second big plan for the year begins with this 10&#215;10 cm (4&#215;4&#8243;) square. It will grow up to be a <strong>temperature blanket<\/strong> showing the high and low temperatures every day in the town where I live. On January 1st, that was 5.3 and 8.6 \u00b0C, which is not enough of a difference for two colors.<\/p>\n<p>The yarn is Garnstudio Drops Paris and I&#8217;m more or less following this <a href=\"http:\/\/mamaclare.blogspot.ch\/2014\/09\/temperature-blanket-pattern.html\">pattern<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If we ever decide to move to Sweden, I&#8217;ll make another temperature blanket in our first full year there so we can compare. Hubby is afraid we might freeze up there, but whenever I ask Siri about the temperatures in the South of Sweden, it&#8217;s about the same as here.<\/p>\n<p>My <strong>Finish or Frog<\/strong> hasn&#8217;t been off to the best start. Shortly after yesterday&#8217;s blog post, my slight headache turned into a fully grown migraine and the blanket didn&#8217;t grow any further. Today&#8217;s WIP was Slinky Ribs by Wendy Bernard. It&#8217;s been in hibernating stage since forever and I want to frog (and maybe restart if by some miracle I&#8217;m ever going to lose 10 or 20 kg). The sweater must have heard me, it went into hiding and was nowhere to be found. So I marked the project page frogged and the sweater will follow when I find it. I hope I&#8217;ll finally make some real progress tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/01\/ce0f2157-d3d5-4fb7-a58f-90fbf15149a5-5983-000001b2cd34a1db.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-1074 size-full\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/ce0f2157-d3d5-4fb7-a58f-90fbf15149a5-5983-000001b2cd34a1db.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/ce0f2157-d3d5-4fb7-a58f-90fbf15149a5-5983-000001b2cd34a1db-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re German speaking and would like to knit yourself a luxurious cowl, head over to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/discuss\/knitted-in-switzerland\/3727467\/1-25\">Ravelry group<\/a>, I&#8217;m looking for testers for the German version of my Red Wine Blue Grapes Cowl!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/01\/723f5a6b-e18e-4eba-99d1-c897914c5b62-5983-000001bf6dc6d5b8.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1073\" height=\"427\" width=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/723f5a6b-e18e-4eba-99d1-c897914c5b62-5983-000001bf6dc6d5b8.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/723f5a6b-e18e-4eba-99d1-c897914c5b62-5983-000001bf6dc6d5b8-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay safe if you&#8217;re affected by storm or weather, I&#8217;ll stay inside with a blanket, cats and knitting and let the Burglind storm stay outside!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
