Posted - Aug 22 2006 : 05:45:16 AM Someone had posted some links to free pattern sites and I can't find it now, so I've started a new topic.
I recently came across Berroco's (yarn mfgr) site and they have a huge selection of patterns - I was looking for a simple pattern for a handbag and they have hundreds! Also lots of sweater and other patterns.

If anyone knows where that other topic is, and posts something new there, I will see it and post this link there as well!

Posted - Aug 23 2006 : 08:06:49 AM My favorite free pattern is the Incredible, custom fit raglan sweater. It is knit in the round using circular needles. http://www.woolworks.org/patterns/raglan.html
I did the raglan for my 2 year old daughter this christmas with about 2 skeins of redheart varigated. (total cost under $8) It was so fun to work on! There is not much shaping, so a great pattern for working on while doing other stuff. Walking, radio, etc.
These is a site out there http://knitpicks.com/kpimages/pdf/50417220.pdf that has a two socks at once on cicular needles pattern that I am dying to try. Each sock is knit side by side on its own ball of yarn.
My local library has a nice interlibrary loan program, so I often reserve everthing they have on a particular topic.. ie knitting, crochet etc... browse at home and returnm all but a couple.... If you can find them I like the elizabeth zimmerman books. :-)
