I gave all my patterns and needles away when I developed arthritis in my thumb. But miss it too much I want to start again, but knit for just the odd half hour instead of the marathons I used to have. I cannot find the patterns anymore though, you have to buy a huge book to get to just one pattern.

Have you looked online? I found the pattern for DGS's pram blanket on, I think www.Loveknitting.com. Downloading was free too!

Try ebay. They always have a wide range of individual knitting patterns for sale.

My local knitting shop sells individual patterns and I have bought them on occasion.

Have a look on www.ravelry.com There are lots of free patterns as well as ones you have to buy.

Have you tried knitting back and forward using a circular needle instead of straight pins? It is much kinder on shoulders and perhaps thumbs too. It got me knitting again when I had a painful shoulder.

YEs go onto DROPS.com. There are thousands of patterns and you can spend hours just looking.
I find fine wool and fine needles less strenuous for the fingers and thumb joint.
