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!

It seems nice to work with and much more malleable than the sirdar. It needs to hold a bit of structure as it's got mesh and motifs, but I think it will work well

Must put it down and go to bed, it's too tempting to do 'just one more row'

"design seeds" Helegant's imagination explodes with ideas.

"... cutting things out of magazines..." Helegant's brain looks at the opportunity to create more clutter in her home and steps back from the brink.

Thanks! I think I need to make it longer but can't decide which bit of the pattern to repeat. But I can do the sections and add later if needed. Not adding sleeves.

I've spent today here. fibre-east.co.uk
Mostly watching other people blow their budgets. e.g. £993 for a spinning wheel. I tried it and was rubbish. Phew!

Was fibre east any good apart from that? Thinking of going tomorrow?

There was some sort of historical re-enactment on the field, live sheep shearing, fleeces for sale - all sorts from rare breeds to more common, carding, spinning machines, dyes and indi dyers, big name brands, weavers, spinners, some hand-made clothes, silk, wool, beads, felting, LYS, food, drink & cake (even Bedfordshire Clangers), wool mattresses and duvets - all sorts. The only thing that was missing, from my perspective, was bobbin lace.
