Morning, fellow crafty ones...
Want to trade some favorite sites for reference and patterns?
What I know most is knitting.
There are some great places out there.
here are some I really like:
Wool Works:
http://www.woolworks.org/
(has some nice free patterns)
The main index for the Knit List Gift pattern index. (The Knit List has been collecting patterns that people donate as christmas gifts to each other for years. Some great patterns!)
http://www.knitlist.com/ListGifts.htm
Knitting Techniques. She has created animated gifs that go through various hard to explain techniques
http://www.dnt-inc.com/barhtmls/knittech.html
Fiber Link from the Fiber Gypsy
a collection of files and links that are very useful, especially the one about "Charts and other helpful resources"
http://www.fibergypsy.com/index.shtml
The Socknitters home page - very important for us socky tyeps.
http://www.socknitters.com/
And although about.com drives me crazy sometimes, they have a great knitting page:
http://knitting.about.com/
There are a lot more but these are some of my favorites.
Thanks for all the links - bookmarked it!
