This is mindfulness knitting, environmental knitting — something to think about with each stitch, each row. Thank you.” — K.

This listing is for a New Normal Triptych. This includes three separate New Normal Tempestry kits, one for your state, one for the contiguous United States, and one showing global data.

New Normal Tempestries are a visual representation of annual deviations-from-average temperature for different locations. Global New Normals span 1880-present, and US and State New Normals span 1895-present.  Our New Normal Tempestries were inspired by Professor Ed Hawkins’ Warming Stripes climate data visualization work and are available for both knitters and crocheters (see below for approximate measurements).

Kits include Knit or Crochet guidelines, worksheets, color cards, and individually-wound balls of yarn calculated to match the number of years needed for each color.

The finished knitted wall hanging measures approximately 8-9” by 40″, while the crochet version measures about 8” wide 60” long.

Our worksheet uses data from NOAA with a baseline averaged from 1951-1980. The darker the blue the cooler than average, and the darker red the warmer than average. The trajectory is painfully obvious.

$15 from each New Normal Tempestry Triptych sale will be donated to various environmental & climate action organizations.

All our work is done in a smoke-free but cat-friendly home. While this particular cat is not prone to playing with yarn, her hair (as any pet owner knows) does occasionally stray.
