Ups and downs while crocheting the weather blanket in the Whitsun week. If you have no idea what this is about, you can read it in the Pattern to Crochet a Weather Blanket.
20th Week of Crocheting a Weather Blanket
During the Whitsun week there was a nice up and down, as the colours of this week are telling. After the bad weather we got a wonderful sunny Whitsunday. Our blanket also rewards us with more pattern variations than last week.

Projection for the Weather Blanket
After the 20th week my weather blanket weighs 1884g and is 101cm long. So I have also reached the 1 meter mark. Slowly I get a problem with the weighing, because my weather blanket has also nearly overgrown the small kitchen scale. After 140 days we have a factor of 2.6, so we get 4898g and 263cm for the whole blanket. Over the summer the projection will grow up, which will move down again in autumn and winter.
