Tuesday's Tallies - One-A-Day Weather-Scarf (a day late)

It's been quite a big while since I posted on here, but with the new year I started a new "One-A-Day" project, which I would like to share with you. Last time I did one of these projects, it was a granny blanket and most of the time I ended up making at least 3 squares a day instead of the planned one.

This time, that can't happen, unless I can't do it on one day and have to catch up later.

I have decided to make a Weather-scarf (or sky-scarf)!

The idea is pretty simple: You pick out a couple of shades of blue to grey-white and each day, you look at the sky and knit a row of a scarf in the color the sky has that day and you do that for one year.

Pretty simple, huh?

That's what I thought, so I mixed it up a little:

Firstly: I decided to make two rows a day, because otherwise I would end up with a 365 row-long scarf, which is pretty short...

Secondly: I decided to put all those beautiful shades of blue I got to good use. Basically instead of knitting each row in the color the sky has that day, I made a little chart on which I assigned each color to a weather-situation. (So it's actually in-between a Sky-Scarf and a Temperature-Scarf)

This is what my chart looks like:

I hole-punched a piece of bristol paper with a star-punch to tie the colors I was going to use to the paper and assigned each color to a weather-situation. (yes, there are happy clouds, sad clouds and angry clouds, shush it makes sense!)

So everyday I knit one stripe (of two rows) in the color that belongs to that day's weather (so today's color was number 6, the sad cloud). I've done this everyday since new year's, except the first two. The first two, I just wrote down the number in my calendar, because I didn't have my knitting-supplies with me. So I actually started off with 3 stripes in one day:

(Yes, the first stripe is made up of 3 rows instead of 2, that's because there's the cast-on as well and I forgot to count that in...)

Here's what the whole thing looks like as of today, with 6 stripes:

I like the way it's coming out a lot. The stripes seem sort of random even thought they aren't, but I love it.

I also had to throw everything out of my knitting-basket for this project, because nine skeins of yearn take up a lot of space... And two of them are just little balls for now...:

I hope you found this interesting and I hope you will accompany me on this journey!
