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’ve been making this all afternoon



It’s a sewing kit I’ve made as a Christmas present for my best friend. Hoping to make another four or so: needle book, folding scissors, thread, needle threader, ripper and thimble. I’m waiting on that measuring tape.

And this is the needle book, with a selection of needles, pins and safety pins.

The next ones will have plumper pin cushion lids, less like tam o’shanters.

What a lovely idea, Wobbling - and very nicely executed, too.

I love that, Wobbling!

I have a needle book made of felt which looks like a cottage, with linen "pages" inside. I *think* my cousin (several years older than me) made it for our grandma when I was pretty young.

20g mini skeins will make a few phone cases. Or bunting triangles.

Wobbling- that is a lovely idea

Checking in after too long an absence. I'm currently knitting a granny blanket on large needles. I'm using up my stash and knitting 2 or 3 yarns together in random width stripes. My plan is to do 3 wide lengths (51 stitches by 1.5 metres) of random stripes. These will be joined by narrow cream stripes with a cream border. The other side of the blanket will be a patchwork of old clothes that the girls have loved but have outgrown. I know it sounds random! Hopefully it will look OK. It's to go on the sofa bed in the spare room or for those times when they need a sofa blanket to watch a TV film.
