Knitting

[Gal]

I can't remember a thread about this before although I think there was one somewhere...

Anyway, in view of our pending new arrival, I am thinking about making a little cardi/bonnet set or something. Has anyone any ideas how I can get hold of a pattern? I have wool already

[Kaz]

Anything here any good?

Kaz I have googled for two days and none of the sites I've looked at have anything helpful - this one does! Thanks soooo much

Although the site must be American as it doesn't give you the thickness of wool, I have bought DK (double knitting)

Join ravelry.com Gal.

There are thousands of free patterns and you can see other peoples pictures and comments about each pattern.

You can search by putting a name of what you want to make (ie bonnet), the type of wool, how much wool, etc.

It really is an amazing site.

Thanks for that link Debih - I've just joined now.

I really want to get cracking and learn to knit properly - I have a smashing knitting book (I think you recommended it a couple of years ago ) so I'm raring to go.

Same here Ally!
I bought this book from the Book People just before Christmas and it looks like it's just what I need but I've not yet got around to attempting anything. I'm fine with the basics though but I'd like to do a bit more.
