We have colour palettes planned that range from 6 colours to over 20 &#8211; just look at these stunning combos:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/TempSnakeCAL2023_colourpalettes.jpg\" alt=\"Temperature Snake colour palettes\" \/<em>It&#8217;s going to be so interesting seeing how differently all these lovely snakes will turn out&#8230; <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> If you&#8217;ve already started but haven&#8217;t posted to either of the groups yet, we&#8217;d love to see how you&#8217;re doing too! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetjune.com\/community\">See how to join the PJ Ravelry or Discord groups here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the PJ community, we have members planning to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make a temperature worm (for those who don&#8217;t like snakes &#8211; just leave off the tongue!)<\/li>\n<li>Make a pair of snakes: one for the daily maximum temperature and one for the daily minimum<\/li>\n<li>Use historical temperature records from a birth year<\/li>\n<li>Use a home weather station to log <em>extremely<\/em> local temperatures<\/li>\n<li>Log the <em>change<\/em> in temperature each day<\/li>\n<li>Carry along a sparkly thread on special occasion days (like birthdays, anniversaries, etc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230;and much more! So many great ideas &#8211; I can&#8217;t wait to watch all these snakes growing throughout 2023.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t picked up the pattern yet, I just released Part 2 of the instructions yesterday, so you can jump right in and start your snake&#8217;s head today if you want! <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be crocheting along with you all year, and I&#8217;m about to start making <del datetime=\"2023-01-05T18:00:00+00:00\">Sophie<\/del> Jewel, my 2023 snake. These are the colours I&#8217;ve chosen for her (if you&#8217;re curious, they&#8217;re all shades of Lion Brand Heartland yarn, and I&#8217;ll be using the warm grey on the right for her head):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/TempSnakeCAL2023_sophiecolours.jpg\" alt=\"Temperature Snake colour palettes\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This time I&#8217;ve chosen to make a Small Daily snake i.e. she&#8217;ll be very long and thin!
