    Thanks for this!!!! I've recently found my knitting bag and am knitting a patch-work quilt. It is for me, in my new house with my husband to be to keep me cosy (when he's not) and for wrapping up any future babies!!!!

    I am finding it very relaxing!

    Hi folks,

    I also came across one site named FaveCrafts.com

    You will find hundreds of free crochet and knitting patterns along with a beginner's guide to crochet with how to videos for every crochet stitch.

    Cheers!

    Calling itself 'the ultimate knitting pattern collection': this has patterns for women's cardigans, shrugs, wraps and shawls, and baby clothes, and some cushions and rather cute tea cosies - about 50 all in all, I reckon

    Got to say a massive thank you, theres some brilliant patterns and without sounding tight, I noticed the boat pattern on childrens is DK wool, so were not tied into the posh wool at £4 a ball, this makes it really excellent value
    Thank you again xx

  • The blog fadedsplendour.com has a good range of free vintage patterns to download, from the 1940s and earlier. They normally add a new pattern weekly. Great retro toys and sweaters! Tried to post some pictures but not allowed

    Lets Knit


    I came across this site via a competition newsletter (I did search, but couldn't find it listed here).


    Registration is free :D, and they have various patterns available for download in the following categories:-

    Bags (16 patterns)
    Hats & Gloves (11 patterns)
    Toys & Homewares (17 patterns)
    Socks (5 patterns)

    I personally don’t knit ;), but hopefully this will be useful to the many who do.


    Note: FYI - at the top of the home page, there are also links to various other craft related sites :j.



    Thanks as ever to all posters :beer:
    May contain nuts. Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included. Thanks to all posters :D

    This is a wonderful find, thanks to all who submitted links as I love knitting. Sadly, the cost of balls of wool have outweighed the ready made jumpers now but if anyone has a cheap wool source, I'd love to know. knitting has recently been recommended for depression sufferers and also hyperactivity can be channelled with knitting.


    Kemp wools are good - end of line Sirdar and others at reduced prices.
