BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Knitting Favorite knitting websites?

Since I'm just learning to knit, I was wondering what websites you all turn to for all things knitting? Free patterns? tutorials? Not sure what else?

I like to research and have a list of sites I can go to for info and you guys so far are #1!!

Thanks,
Joan

PS, I did check the knitting section here on Bella and got some great sites, as well, but wondered if anybody here had some other favorites.

I like to go to lionbrand.com and knittingpatterncentral.com

Thanks, Sara. I signed up with lion brand and got a really nice catalog with photos, saying you could get the free patterns online.

Where's Lamesa, TX? I'm in Arlington.

I like knittingdaily.com, knitty.com, yarnharlot.ca, among others (oh and ravelry.com)

Happy knitting,

Lamesa is between Lubbock and Midland

My aunt and uncle live in Arlington and have for 20+ years. Such a small world isn't it.

It really IS a small world.

Marge, I love the YarnHarlot blog. I have a gmail account and signed up for google alerts on knitting blogs so I get a collection of them once a day. There are some great knitting blogs out there. One I really like is Alpaca Farm Girl She has a Fiber Arts Friday that you can sign up for so your blog link is posted and others can get on and comment about your knitting projects.

Once I get some projects beyond the basics going, I'm going to sign up but it's fun to see other blogs and what everybody is doing.

The Yarn Harlot, by far is my favorite blog of all time.

I don't really have any favorite websites. I prefer to just search for what I want. That way I am not limiting myself to a few sites and I find some wonderful things that I might have missed.
