TEMPERATURE CHALLENGE: 12 colours chosen

Have you decided to do a Challenge in 2016? 

It's certainly not easy to pick a selection of colours to represent the temperature through a year.

Sorry the pictures aren't great the light this morning is grim, dark very wet and grey

UPDATE: progress on the temperature blanket....about 12 days old

 I found I had 4 different yarns in enough colours to choose 12 colours, a nice round figure linked to months of the year too.

And yesterday felt a bit over whelming with so many colours to choose from

I've made my decisions by asking several questions...

1: What yarn do I have in a large number of colours?

2: What time will I have every day?

3: What did I want to make?

4: What yarn did I want to use?

5: How many colours to use?

Needed to make a decision on the yarns this morning, time was passing and it wouldn't get started if i didn't.

The answers:
