Year Long Scarf - Update! 6 Months

I've had a daily crochet project going since January 1st that  you may or may not remember.

Here is a link to that post!

Basically, every day from January 1st 2014 to December 31st 2014 I'll be crocheting a line of crochet onto a piece.

I do this in order to create a "scarf" that represents this year. Each day is represented by the color of the sky!


White for overcast (let's face it people.. I used a lot of this and we're only 6 months in. I live in the Pacific Northwest!)

Light blue for partly cloudy

Blue for BLUEBLUEBLUE skies!

Black for thunderstorms/big DARK clouds

Today I'm officially 6 months into this "scarf"

I keep referring to it as a "scarf" because I won't be actually wearing this when I'm done. I'm going to hang it up!

This is a picture of it hung up.


Here is another picture with the months represented (click to see enlarged). I did not do an exact count but this is an approximation. You'll notice in Feb there are different stitched (puff/chain)


Puff stitches (which there are two rows in Feb) represent SNOW! The loose chain that is in the middle represents sleet.

How great is the large chunk of white in April? April showers..... :D

I love this project so far. I don't keep a lot of things because of sentimentality but this will be one I think.

Basically while outside each day I make note of the sky and write it down in my planner. At the end of the week (Sundays) I do all the rows and once a month I take it out and sew in all the tails. I do NOT want to get to December and have to sew in 365 tails. No thank you!


What do you think of my 2014 weather scarf? I was thinking of doing one with emotions. Red for anger, blue for sad.. etc. That would be slightly therapeutic don't you think? Help us acknowledge our feelings on a daily basis.

Thank you SO much for following along!
