Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I love that mermaid pattern, there are so many variations but that one is lovely.

I'm part way through, I'll upload a photo of my work so far when I've done a little more later. :)

I made a hot water bottle cover and gave it to my Mother in Law as a birthday present, she's had the present now so I can put pics up. Apologies to all who are FB or IG followers of mine, you'll have seen the photos before!

Stylecraft special Aran weight. It's acrylic but feels OK, the dark blue is a little squeaky but I've not noticed it after the foundation row. I'm not doing it as wide as the pattern, the kids are the intended recipients and they'd be swamped in a blanket that wide.

I'm using the Special DK for Teen 1's blanket. There's a massive choice of colours and it's not too bad to knit with now I'm used to it. I've made great progress, I have done 20 squares out of 49, but have some of the more complicated ones left and lots of sewing up.

The moorland is special dk, I hadn't noticed any squeakiness with the dk hence me going for the aran weight. Most colours are lovely, but the darker ones are a little less soft. I'm looking at a cal coming up that's crochet squares, yarn is scheepes for that.

I bought a style craft DK pack for a CAL but it was too hard for me to do and keep up.

Need to think of another pattern.

Maybe ripple or corner to corner
