In this episode of my chit chat and crochet podcast, I’m giving you a proper update on my 2026 temperature blanket and chatting through how I’m keeping it organised so it stays fun (and not stressful) all year. I talk about where I’m at with the blanket, how I’m thinking about colour tracking, and the little decisions that make a big difference—like keeping things consistent, staying on top of your notes, and not letting a missed day turn into a whole spiral. It’s very much a cosy catch-up while I crochet, with that gentle reminder that this is meant to be therapeutic. I also walk you through setting up my crochet journal, because honestly, journaling is what keeps my projects moving when life gets busy. I share how I document what I’m making, what yarn and hooks I’m using, and the kind of notes I like to keep so future-me doesn’t have to guess. If you’re starting a temperature blanket (or any long project), this is your nudge to set up a simple system you’ll actually use—nothing fancy, just practical and stash-busting friendly.
