Progress January 1-21

I have now finished both my Resilience (Jan 1-10) and my Mayanna (Jan 11-21) squares and joined them. By the next square I have to decide if I am going to place them horizontally or diagonally. I am pleased with how they are coming out so far. We will see with the next week as it SHOULD be warmer, and then more rain coming next weekend.

Also, after completing my Mayanna square it came out much larger than the Resilience, so I went back and added two rows of hdc around to make them more similar in size. if anyone else is following this CAL, you may also have to do the same from time to time. That is why I like the “looseness” of this year’s plan – using the assigned colors, but not in a particular order still shows the temperature feeling of the 10 days without relying on being diligent an rows or rounds per day. My Resilience shows colder weather than my Mayanna, but not by a lot. Although I will say that blue seems colder than the assigned purples!

Now, I also need to decide on what my upper colors will be. I created two options and won’t need to commit until I have a temperature that occurs in the upper range. The one on the left is a more traditional spectrum with some pinks. The one on the right has pinks instead of yellow, orange, and red. I am a cool color fan and so am leaning toward the one on the right.

But I am also considering starting a second one in daily squares that show high, average, low. But, I have a tendency to start projects and not finish.

This is the high, average, low chart that I would probably be working with.
