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.

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".

    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
