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 can do both but I'm a beginner still
I'm happier knitting but maybe I should try more crochet? Not done more than a basic granny square! I bought them for a CAL but it was too tricky for me

Really easy? Hold two or three strands of one colour together and knit garter stitch stripes. More effective than it has any right to be.

Slightly less easy but still easy? The chevron pattern on the blanket in my blog is just knit and purl and a simple increase and decrease.

I used that yarn for a knit ripple blanket - I held it double and used big needles so it was quick

ravelry.com

And again here

The ripple pattern is the same as this

Ripple patterns are brilliant too. I'm going to do one of those next, for Tink's room, in her favourite colour and in Aran.

I find the rhythmic counting a great stress-reliever.
