Fetchings … I love these. I ran out of yarn the first time I tried to knit them, so this time I bought two balls of the Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran… funnily enough, this pair was made out of a single ball with several yards left over. (I’m seriously thinking that I’ll frog the first pair and try to reknit them to see if I can squeeze them out of the single ball…again.)
Such a great pattern — beautiful, easy and quick! I cast the first fetching on around lunch time and cast off the second about 5 minutes before my husband got home from work. A nice afternoon knit. :)
Oh, and please ignore the pasty white arm in the photo…. I live in Northern England and I haven’t left the country in nearly a year. The area isn’t exactly known for sunshine. It’s hard to get a good tan in the rain. ;)

Love those fetchings(funny name!)I’ll have a go at knitting a pair soon, after I finish knitting tiny little baby sweaters for Anna Sigga. Oh and as for the lack of tan, you should have come to Iceland.
