anonymous Let's Post Websites Here May 27, 2005 9:10 AM

Hi everyone!  I'd like to start a discussion topic for listing websites we've found that other knitters might be interested in.  I know there are several posted in other discussions here too.  Patterns, charity projects, yarn shops, etc.

Here's one that's new to me, where you can actually learn new stitches watching short video clips for knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, etc.  They have free patterns too.  Enjoy!

stitches website June 04, 2005 2:24 AM

Hey, that's a great website Leslie! As a beginning knitter who is not a native speaker of English, I find it often difficult to find out how to do stitches. Very often I can't link the names to the dutch names I hear from my mother, so I can't ask her. Plus I don't know that much about knitting yet anyway. The videoclips are very helpful!  [ send green star]  [ accepted]
 
and another useful site June 04, 2005 3:56 PM

Just found this one: http://knitting.about.com/ looks interesting, in particular the explanation of the stitches seems useful if you want to be a bit more adventurous. (under the left side bar "essentials") I noticed there is something like a "thermal underwear stitch". Anybody heading for the northpole anytime soon? I have not yet had a look at the free/ practice patterns, so I can't judge...  [ send green star]  [ accepted]
 
The crown jewel of online knitting ... August 15, 2005 1:33 PM

'zines for funky, fresh patterns is http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer05/index.html   There's always something in every issue that I must seriously at least attempt to make.

http://lionbrandyarn.com/ also has a wide selection o' free crochet and knitting patterns.  Of course they are made with their yarn in mind, but you can easily make your own substitution.

Magnits is no more

I had some of the patterns in my favourites, but didn't print them off, and now they're gone.
