Temperature

I've started knitting a "temperature blanket", knitting a row a day showing the temperature each day for 2020.  Here is January and half of February.  Cool colors, but not cold.  This is the first winter with no snow in Raleigh, although there's still time.

After reading this article, I'm thinking about making a companion scarf with the temperatures in a formerly redlined neighborhood in Raleigh.  Redlining was a policy by the Home Owners Loan Corporation (a federal agency) to deny mortgages to neighborhoods with people of color. Even today the disparities are striking.  Redlined neighborhoods are often "heat islands" with temperatures as much as 7 degrees different from suburban neighborhoods.  I think it would be eye opening to see the colors side by side.
