Ten minutes after dinner. One row.

Check the day's high, pick up the color it falls in, knit one row. A blue row for the morning the pipes froze, a red one for the week at the lake.

By New Year's Eve the blanket holds the whole year, and every stripe has a story.

A year worth wrapping someone in.

  • The year a baby was born
  • The year you married
  • A first year in a new home
  • A year to remember someone by

Pick 2024 or 2025 from the record, follow 2026 as it happens, or start 2027 on January 1 with the forecast.
