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 was standing at my marshall post at the local Tri at the weekend and wondered if anyone else fancied a Fetch bobble hat? I do like a bobble hat... and may be just jn time for Christmas.

I messaged Fetch who set up this feature request to see if there's enough demand :-)

Hi, I've voted Yes for the feature, but also put in a comment asking if Fetchie Knitters could make them, possibly raising funds for the site or for a charity, rather than buying from Bobble Hats UK? :-) G

I love the bobble hats and keep looking when at races but have not bought one on the grounds that I do knit and could make one but haven't!

As a sporadic knitter I wouldn't manage many bobble hats, could maybe make a couple, but slowly.......

Before I would agree to knit a bobble hat I would want to know what the design would be like.
I could whip up something in chunky weight wool in a plain colour or stripes in an afternoon/evening but if you wanted the letters from FETCHEVERYONE or a design of pixilated runners it would take much longer. Bear in mind that a ball of Acrylic chunky would cost just under £3 but a ball of Malbrigio Merino is £9.
Knitters would probably do it for the love but if it took (minimum 2 hours for a very very quick knitter) at minimum wage it would add another £20 or more to the price

I only love a small number of Fetchies enough to knit a customised item for them, even for money. I'll yarn bomb anyone with things I've knitted for pleasure.
