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!

The lovely garments etc... I see on here are awesome! Just thought I would share mine with you here. I mentioned them on my blog and (despite my reservations about the quality of my work) a couple of other Fetchies thought they might be interesting for the forum. I made a crochet phone sock / pouch thingy for my new phone.





When my mum saw it she said she liked it so I made another one today to give as a gift for her.



I didn't follow a pattern so am quite pleased with the result.

Those phone socks are fab, Ness - particularly without pattern!

I find I just can't follow a crochet pattern, though. My gran taught me basic granny squares, very appropriately, but since that I've always had to play it by ear (or eye, I guess) because the patterns are pure gibberish 🤣

Thanks, Rae. I have followed a pattern in the past but they are more tricky than knitting patterns from what I recall. I made a set of crochet table mats for my mum when my hip problems immobilised me for a while when I was a teenager. Maybe I ought to try using a pattern again.

I’m not sure they’re trickier, just different. And seeing where to put the hook is sometimes the most difficult bit. Lots of patterns now have video tutorials which is really helpful.
