Knitting - similar to Debbie Bliss baby stuff

I started knitting again when I was pregnant with my DS (now 9 weeks old) and have really got the bug. I have a couple of Debbie Bliss books and am now looking to find some other patterns that are similar in style - simple but stylish cardigans, jumpers, toys etc.
Can you recommend any other knitting books that have this sort of stuff in it? I like simple things - stripes, plain colours, not really into motifs or fancy cabling etc.
Thanks!

big book of kids knits by zoe mellor has some nice stuff in it. has toys nursery accesories and clothes. some of the clothes have motifs on but theres probably enough in spots and stripes to keep you going

thank you! i'll check out zoe mellor.

i forgot all about my library - it's been closed for refurbishment for the whole of my mat leave so had forgotten it was an option

Have a look for Louisa Harding books too and the Rowan kids ones are quite good, though there's loads to sort through to find the really good ones. Some rather old fashioned I think.

The new Rowan Milk Cotton Baby book is good and the Sublime books are also very nice.

I've just bought the milk cotton book and it is fab. Eyeing up several projects for DS, but then have about 4 in queue already! I like Sublime too but can't get the yarn round here - have to order off internet so less likely to happen.

Sorry to hijack thread but does anyone know any non Debbie Bliss books (no offence DB but I think I've got them all!) that have nice girls patterns in for age 5+? I struggle to find much for older girls that is similar in style to all those mentioned above.

By the way, the Susan Cropper Vintage Knits book is absolutely gorgeous too. No kids patterns though (I think)- lovely adult and home decor stuff.
