Pannage season has arrived! ๐Ÿ–๐ŸŒฐ๐Ÿ‚

The pigs are out snuffling their way through the New Forest, the nights are drawing in, and thereโ€™s definitely a little chill creeping into the eveningsโ€ฆ which means itโ€™s officially hot water bottle season! ๐Ÿฅฐ

And really, could there be a more appropriate project than our ๐—ฆ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ & ๐—”๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ป ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—•๐—ผ๐˜๐˜๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—–๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ? ๐Ÿท๐ŸŒฐ๐Ÿงถ

With its little pigs, acorns and mushrooms worked into the colourwork, itโ€™s basically the New Forest in knitted form โ€” and the perfect cosy autumn project to cast on now.

Pop into Fully Woolly to pick up everything you need and get those needles clicking. ๐Ÿโค๏ธ

We know, we knowโ€ฆ you just want to cast on the jumper. Do you really have to knit a swatch first? ๐Ÿ˜…

Unfortunately, sometimes the boring answer is yes!
A gauge swatch isn't just about checking whether you have the right number of stitches. It gives you a little preview of how your finished project is going to behave.

๐Ÿงถ Is the fabric too loose or too dense?
๐Ÿ“ Are you actually getting the gauge in the pattern?
๐Ÿซง Does the yarn grow or change after washing?
๐ŸŽจ Do you like how the colours work together?
๐Ÿชก Would a different needle size give you a fabric you prefer?

And remember: wash and block your swatch the same way you intend to wash the finished garment. Your gauge before and after washing can be surprisingly different!

๐Ÿ’ก ๐—ช๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—ช๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—บ:
Don't want your swatches sitting forgotten in a drawer? Turn them into pockets! If you're making a cardigan or jumper, a swatch in the same yarn can become a perfectly coordinating patch pocket. Functional and smugly resourceful. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Still not quite sure what you're looking for when you swatch?

Happy Tuesday!
๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ“โค๏ธ
Pannage season is here in the New Forest, which means the pigs have been let loose to snuffle up all those acorns! ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ‚ Itโ€™s my absolute favourite time of year!

The nights are drawing in, the knitted sweaters are starting to make an appearance, weโ€™re stocking up on firewood, and Iโ€™m already thinking about cosy walks in our wellies amongst the autumn leaves. ๐Ÿ

All of which can only mean one thingโ€ฆ knitting and crochet season is well and truly here! ๐Ÿงถโค๏ธ

So, if you havenโ€™t already, itโ€™s time to start thinking about those autumn projects! Have a wander around the Hythe Market today, grab yourself a coffee and something delicious, then swing by Fully Woolly for a little yarny inspiration.

After all, a new season surely deserves a new projectโ€ฆ right? ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿงถ
