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!

Hello crafty people
Come to ask a cheeky favour
Would anyone who's made masks be prepared to make me a couple?
I travel to work by train and have been doing throughout lockdown, its been fine as there's so few of us you get a carriage each, but as more people return to work I'm sure we'll be be asked to mask up.
I'm more than happy to pay for it or make a donation to a favoured charity

Thank you muchly xx

Help!!

I have crocheted a granny square blanket, and crocheted the squares together, and then a border... It has taken ages. I was going to give it to the recipient today, however after washing it yesterday and leaving it to dry I have noticed it has come loose on one square...is there anyway of fixing it? Or have I completely ruined it :( I'm gutted!

Oh no!

If you’ve got some spare yarn of the same colour use a darning needle and go over the stitches to try and replicate the appearance. You may not have darned in a long enough end.

If it’s a bit more you might be able to use a crochet hook and replace the stitches to a certain point before sewing in. You’ll know it’s there but it’s unlikely the recipient will notice.

nsc, I don't sew but a lass just round the corner from us has made a load of nice fabric masks which she's offering in return for donations. Would you like me to get some and pop them in the post to you?

I’d offer but I’ve been meaning to make my own for about two weeks and still not started! If I get caught up I’ll let you know.
