Back in 1995/6 I knitted a white cotton cot cover from a kit supplied by Annie Cole handknitting ltd. They did a good range of patterns for cushions and covers.

I have tried extensive google searches, and tired phoning the number I have but have found no trace of the company.

Can anyone tell me what happened to Annie Cole? are they still in buisness?

If not i have two questions,
Are the patterns still available from anywhere else.
What is the nearest replacement for Annie Cole white cotton. The pattern I have says use a 3mm needle, but not sure if I need double knit or 4 ply.
Please help. Can a buisness just vanishe without a trace?

I know this is a long shot but years ago I had Annie Coles patterns, but sadly I have lost them.
I have been searching and came across this and was wondering if there was any chance that you have copies or know where I can get copies of any of her bedspread patterns.
Thank you

Hi, are you still interested in Annie Cole patterns as I have inherited a whole bag full, including the one you were looking for! It may be that the baby is now 36!

@Lauracole5, Hi Laura, I am very late finding this site but have previously knitted a bedspread from Annie Cole. I am so sorry to hear of your Mums death, she was a very talented lady. Do you still have any patterns I could purchase? Also do you know which brand of wool she used for her blankets? Thank you for your time.

@RachaelCG, do you still have your Annie Cole patterns? I would be interested if you do. Thank you.

Hello, I am Annie Cole's daughter. My sister somehow just came across this thread and forwarded it to me incase I may be able to help any enthusiastic knitters. Sadly my mother passed away in September after a long struggle with dementia. Her house was packed full of Victorian patterns and everything you could imagine to do with embroidery, knitting and crafts. We saved some of it but sadly most of it had to go. However I think I still have the patterns and so should be able to photograph them if anybody wants a copy.
It was so lovely to see that people were still interested in her designs. She absolutely loved her work and her army of knitters, she was never found with idle hands. She was a fabulous person. Laura

Hello Laura, it’s bee sometime since your kind offer to share your mothers knitting patterns. I’m trying to locate a copy of the cot/pram leaf cover. The one with the bobbles. I would very much appreciate a copy if you still have it Thank you. Kathy
