Hi, my mum has decided that she really wants to knit a blanket for my cousin's baby - and as she's not very well (my mum that is) she wants my help in finding the pattern and wool and needles etc. I have found a shop that she likes where I can buy whatever materials are needed but we are still struggling to find a suitable pattern. Not because there aren't loads available, just because my mum is, well, very particular. She doesn't like any of the patterns in the many magazines I've bought and she doesn't like anything I've found online either.


So - can anyone please recommend a really simple knitting pattern - in her words it should be "simple to knit, attractive to look at, just a little pattern in it." She doesn't want it to turn in to a big palava - it will help her to concentrate but she won't be able to focus too much or for too long - so something simple and straightforward but not boring...


Anyone? Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you...

There are a couple of patterns I like in a book called Natural Baby Knits. I think they are both made as single pieces so no sewing required afterwards. If I can find the book I'd be happy to lend it to you for her to have a look at.


And, whilst we're on the subject of knitting: I'm trying to free up some space at home and have a bag of toy wool in all sorts of different colours if anyone would like to take it. Also, a bag of toy stuffing. All for free. If anyone would like it, please let me know.

      Simple Gardens - Gardening, Landscaping and Design

      By sarajynx · Posted

      Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others.

      Lexus Stolen On Melbourne Grove

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks.

      Milk delivery

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.
