So You Want to Learn to Knit

Beginning to knit is so exciting! And a bit confusing, frustrating, and just generally tangly!

There are some wonderful sites for beginning knitters:
Lion Brand Yarns has a comprehensive"how-to" file and loads of patterns. The pattern finder allows you to narrow your searches: try "knit, free, beginner" and see what comes up!
Knitting Pattern Central
knitty is a cute one
Ravelry is the myspace of knitting ... request an invite now - you won't be sorry!

I have found books to be useful - somehow I am so much better at following them than the online guides when I'm trying something really tricky. Please feel free to browse my Shelfari shelf - my knitting faves are there!

And please head over to my main blog - I have my knitting shops and more favorite sites there!
