The daily high temperatures are represented on the left side, and the lows on the right. The curve represents the amount of day/night using official sunrise/sunset times from Rindge, autumn equinox to autumn equinox, September 21,2019-September 20, 2020. I used 20 colors, each representing a 5 degree range. The lowest temperature registered was -11 degrees on December 8, 2019. The highest temperature registered 93 degrees on July 19, 2020.this is a queen size bedspread, weighing 9.2 lbs

I got the idea from https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Throkmorton/temperature-blanket-2019 but created all my own equations on excel and chose my own yarn and temperature assignments.

I used knitting to create the quilt and excel to track all my data. I got my temperature data from accuweather.com and my sunset data from https://sunrisesunset.willyweather.com/

I never heard about temperature blankets until 2 weeks ago and now it feels like they are everywhere. Is this a result of the quarantines?
