{"product_id":"temperature-galactic-voyage","title":"Temperature Galactic Voyage cross stitch pattern - weekly temperature pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Temperature Galactic Voyage cross stitch pattern is a bit different to all my other temperature charts - it has one motif to stitch per week, rather than per day. This means the pattern will be quicker to keep up with if you're busy, whilst still making a beautiful record of the year. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pattern has motifs of what you might see on a voyage through space - stars, galaxies, planets, a full lunar cycle (waxing from New Moon to Full Moon and waning back to New Moon), supernovae explosions, satellites and rockets. Each motif is stitched in the maximum and minimum temperature colours for the weeks they represent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA full set of cross stitch numbers and a complete backstitch alphabet are included so that you can personalise your work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe images show example pieces based on temperatures in Southampton, UK - the colour distribution in your piece will be different according to the temperatures in your area and in your year, so every piece stitched will be unique.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstructions are included for both leap years and non-leap years, so you can easily stitch for any year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pattern is designed to be stitched on dark fabric, such as black or navy blue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery comprehensive instructions are included, explaining how to adapt the temperature colour ranges to almost anywhere in the world. You don't need to worry if you live in a hot or cold climate, or if the temperature goes between extremes - you will adapt the colours to your own temperature range, so that you will still stitch with colours across the rainbow palette. You can use either Fahrenheit or Celsius scales for your temperatures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you don't live in a major populated area you might want to check that your area is covered by temperature websites, unless you are recording temperatures yourself. I recommend looking at:\u003cbr\u003ewww.accuweather.com\u003cbr\u003ewww.wunderground.com \u003cbr\u003ewww.timeanddate.com\u003cbr\u003eOn AccuWeather, if you search for your location and click on “monthly”, it will give you temperatures for all the months of the current year and the year before. In the settings (top right of the website) you can change between Fahrenheit and Celsius. If you want to go further back than the previous year, perhaps to commemorate a special year, both Time and Date and Weather Underground give temperatures going much further back. Time and Date allows you to choose Fahrenheit or Celsius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease do join us in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/climbinggoatdesigns\" title=\"Climbing Goat Designs stitchers\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClimbing Goat Designs stitchers\u003c\/a\u003e Facebook group to share your progress!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stitched area of the finished piece (including personalisation) is: 113 stitches wide x 137 stitches high\u003cbr\u003eOn 14 count fabric this is approximately 8.1 x 9.8 inches or 20.5 x 25.0 cm\u003cbr\u003eOn 16 count fabric this is approximately 7.1 x 8.6 inches or 17.9 x 21.7 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe temperature pattern element uses only full cross stitches.
