Knitting patterns

Thanks for that, my mum used to have the golden hands pattern books from years ago. But she has since thrown them away. But i will look out for them again. What are you knitting at the moment?

Well, I still have the golden hands and if you want a short pattern repeat in a certain style I will try to type it in for you! I think their copyright will allow that. I am trying to knit an aran sweater for my partner, in a speckled green yarn, but we are having massive work done in the kitchen, which means most of the kitchen is in the lounge . . . Most of my knitting is confined to thinking about it at the moment I am afraid. I used to knit at home for a company which knitted up designs for famous people, and I knitted some absolutely beautiful designs but unfortunately they were exclusives and they took the patterns back once each garment was completed, sob! You say you have just taken up knitting again, how much had you done previously? You could maybe work out some patterns from your own knowledge, which is probably much greater than you think. It would be really interesting to see the finished squares!

I was only a very basic knitter back then, but i used to knit the toys for charity, i thought i would look back at some of them and try and make my own up. i will let you know how i get on. thanks for your help
