lloll4I'm on Ravelry, same username. It's a community for knitters. I learnt knitting years ago from a book (just about everything I do comes from books. I learnt to hold chopsticks from a book.) and didn't realise there were tons of resources on the net. Not to mention free patterns! And YouTube for demonstrations on certain techniques.
Anyway, due to the stress of my impending joblessness, I have started to knit something that may or may not turn out to be a sweater--or mayhap a tanktop?--and could well end up fitting only my teddy bear. It keeps my hands busy, anyway--I am determined not to start biting my nails.
Some knitting links:
About knitting yarns, tools, books. What I love most are the yarn reviews, though.
Seasonal knitting magazine. Lovely free patterns.
Previews current issue of Vogue Knitting, but has a free library of stitch patterns
Twist Collective, knitting magazine
Knotions magazine
Elann, sells yarn and has nice collection of free patterns.
ETA: Triangular shawls, by yardage
And most yarn companies, to entice buyers, have a section of patterns, both free and for sale.
