the best knitting resources on the web • updated regularly • send us your favorites to add

Most of these resources have free knitting patterns, some you'll have to pay for but they're always worth it.

I like the ones with lots of pictures. I knitted a pair of baby booties last week that only had one photo of the finished product and it took me three tries to get the heel shaping and decreasing right. And I've knitted tons of booties over the years. Picture. A thousand words. I'm just sayin'.
