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 should be fine, JEB. The first one I made is 13cm to that point, and that fits eL Bee!, who has an average man-sized head.

I was going to do a braided hat with a doubled-over brim, but by the time I'd finished the acres of brim the yarn was clamouring for some simple stranded colourwork. I'm glad I listened to it.

Alice the Camel bought me “teach yourself to crochet” book and a selection of hooks for Christmas. I’ve just learnt how to do Double Crochet. The bottom 2 rows went wrong because I had to turn the page of the book to find out I needed to do a chain stitch at the start of a new row 😆

That's looking good, GM. A lot further than I got. A kind person from here equipped me for learning to crochet a few years ago, but I couldn't get my head round it and ended up knitting with the yarn.

All these lovely hat pics got me inspired, so I gave in to the siren call of the beautiful new Unbelieava-wool yarn I got for Christmas and cast this baby on as I finished work yesterday.

It was so pleasing and easy to knit that I'd finished it by the time we went to bed (well, I need to darn in ends and make tassels).

This doesn't do the colours in the wool justice, they're really much richer and deeper, and I don't know if you can see the sparkley threads (the colourway is called winter Berry, iirc)

Love that, Raemondo :) Lots more super patterns on that blog that will show off variegated yarns, of which I have far too many.
