Knitalong - knitting patterns

[neadods]

I not only can't see Yarn Harlot tonight, I'm too knackered to lift needles. So since poking at a keyboard is all I'm fit for, I'm going to point out, to anyone interested in doing the Nea Knitalong, that there is this nifty free site called Knitting Pattern Central with subdirectories of free patterns for scarves (knit a bunch and you have strips for an afghan), dishcloths (read: afghan squares), afghans, baby blankets and motifs and squares.

There's also the oddball sampler afghan and the cables and lace afghan

I'm thinking of officially starting in one month, which will give me time to sniff around Stitches East before I completely make up my mind what I'm doing.

There are some illustrated "getting started" links way back under my crafts tag too, since I pretty much taught myself to knit online.

Terrific, thanks. Now I can try out my grandmother's needles and use up various yarn I'd collected (um, more than five years ago) for this very reason.

Hee! I started out with my aunt's needles and yarn.
