Knitting patterns

[kate.m.]

Hi
I realise this may be a rather broad question to ask- but my Mum is really enjoying knitting things for the baby, n has done a few cardigans already. She's using knitting patterns from when i was born tho (1983!!), and i was just wondering if anyone on here can recommend a favourite website of theirs that could update her knitting patterns?!

Cardigans would be great, but im sure she'd have a go at anything really! Ive just seen a thread about "soakers" n im not entirely sure of what they are (covers instead of wraps for reusable nappies?), but am sure she'd fancy having a go! lol!

Thanks in advance- this may save me hours of trawling the internet!
