🌼Week 44 of 46 | This Week's Featured Pattern is the A Year in Flowers Blanket!🌼

 πŸŒΌ A Year in Flowers | Weekly Celebration 🌼

This week’s Weekly Celebration is a little different because we're celebrating not just a pattern, but an entire year of crochet memories 🌸✨

A Year in Flowers, created in collaboration with Emkatcrochet, transforms daily temperatures into beautiful floral motifs, creating a stunning blanket that tells the story of your year one flower at a time πŸŒΏπŸ’›

 

Each flower records the temperatures for a single day, with colours chosen to represent the highs and lows. As the months pass, your blanket becomes a unique visual diary of changing seasons, weather patterns, and memories 🌷

One of the questions I get asked most often is: "Is it too late to start?"

The answer is always absolutely not! 🌸

You can begin in January, June, September, or even use the pattern to record a previous year. Some people crochet each flower daily, while others enjoy catching up weekly or monthly. There is no right or wrong way to create your blanket πŸ’•

 

To make things even easier, there are lots of helpful resources available, including:

🌼 Free logbook downloads
🌼 Temperature tracking sheets
🌼 Video support and tutorials
🌼 UK and US colour suggestions

As part of this week's celebration, the pattern is available with 20% off on Etsy for a limited time ✨

Whether you're already stitching flowers every day or have been thinking about starting, this is your reminder that it's never too late to begin your own Year in Flowers journey 🌸🌿

Happy crocheting! 🌼
