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!

There’s a fab handwarmers pattern I’ve made over 10 times called Align Mitts (it’s a free pattern)

There’s some great sweater patterns for sock yarn too! I don’t like anything heavier than dk!

I want to make a couple more fabric masks (we're needing to wear masks more here in NZ now). I made us each a couple last year, from onlien patterns, but >I can't remember where I got them from.

What are people's preferred mask patterns these days?

OH wears glasses, I don't. Also, I don't have a sewing machine, but happy hand sewing.

aplat.com I wear glasses and use an origami type mask which I altered slightly to fit a nose bar in. I do need to use a nose bar in any mask because of steaming up of glasses. I've also used other styles and nose bars for glasses do help, but I find the origami more comfortable.

This is similar and one I meant to try but never got round to it. I might try one for my husband as he wears glasses all the time and has quite a big head so the fitted types aren't so good for him. I did make a pleated one for him but I can't get as a neat finish as a fitted one.

This and the "origami" version have straight seams, so very easy to sew without a machine.

Thanks for the mask patterns, I keep meaning to make some!

Here's my latest creation, by far the largest crocheted thing so far, but very enjoyable pattern, from Ravelry.
