To be frustrated by Gransnet comment?

Callistemon I never thought about the 1921 census- more time wasting-great!!!

My DD knit the Ed Sheerin cardigan for her 16 year old , she is the envy of her friends

How did she find the pattern?

I’m not sure , she does make up her own designs , I’ll ask if I hear from her(if I remember !)

Another committed knitter here. My grandma taught me to knit when I was four.

Today I’m wearing an Aran-style sweater that I made in 1986 from Herdwick wool.
The pattern was from Good Housekeeping magazine & when I’ve finished the King-size bedspread I started in 2013 I’m going to make another

I think they should have published it during lockdown trisher, in fact I am most miffed they haven't.

janeainsworth, I've never tackled anything quite as complicated as that, well done, but my mother did at lot of Aran knitting. I wish I still had the Aran sweater she knit me.

I can't find an Ed Sheeran cardigan pattern but you could knit yourself an Ed doll instead

Oopsadaisy1 I agree with your comment

Do you think that GransNet is trying to narrow the posters to the over 75s?
this is why the interference by the moderators is so silly, treating us all like old people who aren’t able to stand the odd debate that gets heated, this was referred to in a thread recently.

I took exception recently to a thread being taken down as and I quote ' this was going in the wrong direction and wouldn't end well'

Perhaps they think the over 75's are a soft touch and will not make a fuss over contentious issues, well I've got news for them, I still have opinions and still work and am offended that they wouldn't let a difference of opinion on the thread continue.

It is my experience that younger people are far more intolerant and judgemental than older more experienced people. Not that they would ever believe it because they know everything. Sense of humour and irony went flying out the window sometime in the 1970s. They just don’t laugh anymore, everything is so ‘careful’.
