Creating a 2024 -Temperature Range Wall Art

There’s a year-long project I’m going to start on January 1st. When the idea originally came to me, it was in the form of a knitting or crocheting project, but since I don’t do either of them well, I decided to modify it and do it as a piece of unique wall art instead.

Here’s how I am setting it up:

Our temperatures range from below zero to 110 degrees here in Duncan, Oklahoma. This means I will need the following yarn colors to signify their respective temperatures:

Below zero – white

0 – 9 degrees – cream

10 – 19 degrees – light blue

20 – 29 degrees – aqua

30 – 39 degrees – green

40 – 49 degrees – blue

50 – 59 degrees – violet

60 – 69 degrees – yellow

70 – 79 degrees – orange

80 – 89 degrees – pink

90 – 99 degrees – red

100 – 109 degrees – tan

109 – plus – brown

I will use one of these colors of yarns each day which will reflect the color of the day’s highest temperature at our home. I’ll weave it into my wall art and will use a strand of black yarn to separate the months. By the end of 2024, I’ll have wall art as a historical marker for our weather.

But first I need a branch which will come from the tree in our backyard. Hubbin will take care of that part, tomorrow so it has sufficient time to dry before January 1st.

I’ll post occasional pictures as I work it.
