Couldn't Stay Away Too Long

Seeing all the other completed temperature projects others have been posting on Instagram and in online Temperature Quilt groups infected me once again. Oh, boy, I got it bad!

I started out with just a thread crochet temperature snake because that didn't seem like too much of a commitment, and I could use up all my old Lizbeth variegated threads to boot. It will be an interesting project, but I fell in love with it on January 1, and I still today have NO regrets whatsoever. The best part is that I don't even have to do the whole year. If I get tired of it, or it gets too long (I'm doing three rounds of single crochet for each high and each low to better show off each colorway), I can begin the tail and finish it in probably four or five days. Or I can stop and begin a new temperature snake, perhaps even changing up the color scheme... Wouldn't it be cute to have a collection of 12 unique little temperature snakes?!?

By January 2, the temperature project craze had fully engulfed me, and I started a new digital temperature quilt. The idea came to me because I've been trying to create a new valentine card almost every day to launch my new Zazzle card shop. I finally incorporated daily conditions, too, which I'm so loving so far. It's coming out so adorable, I started another new digital temperature quilt a couple of days later.

Four days later, I started yet another. And the next day, oops, I did it again.

So now, after a full year-long break, I have five totally new ongoing temperature projects for 2026, and I still have no regrets. They are all projects I can work on quietly while Lizard sleeps. I feel no pressure. I'm so glad I talked myself into this, and I can hardly wait until the end of the year! But not because I'm tired of any of them. I just think they are all so stinking cute!!!
