Smug, so very very smug
Public Service Announcement: Your swatch doesn’t count if you don’t block it.
Remember the photo of the swatch I showed you last time? Take a look at it after a little soak!
Totally different beast (with a whole stitch per inch difference in gauge). If I’d started the project without blocking the swatch, the finished project would have been way way way too big. I also feel like blocking the swatch helped me decide which color to go with (which was proving unreasonably challenging when I was just staring at the yarn).
Tantrum it is. But don’t feel bad if you love the Molten Cool. I have a suspicion you’ll be seeing more of it around here at some point. It really is too pretty not to use for something!
So, so pretty, and thanks for the reminder. I tend not to wash my swatches.
How beautiful! Is it stranded? Or something else? I like stranded knitting far more than it likes me, so I tend to avoid it… Lovely!
Your public service doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you.
