Free knitting patterns
Thousands of free complete knitting and crochet patterns from Drops Design.
Just browsing the ladies section I saw some very interesting scarves and couple of cardigans and a coat that I would like. There is a section for the felters. Drops Design will take more than one visit for me to see it all. This is a huge library.

How to handknit rickrack
From Redlipstick.
Done as an edging or trim on tiny needles, or on giant needles for a scarf, this simple but fun-to-knit original pattern is a handknit version of an old favorite.
I love the look of rickrack and think this might be a good way to embellish a purchased sweater.
I have a couple of balls of lovely white mohair that is very thin. Another thing for the list of a zillion projects.
On another subject.....Have any of you tried any sweater surgery? My mother gave me two beautiful cashmere sweater sets. One cream, one pink. I would love to wear them but they are a little too big in the body and a little too long. The main thing I want to do with them is to remove the ribbing at the hems. I am in a quandry about the proper technique to use to hem these very expensive sweaters. A satin ribbon hem? I don't know. I'm less worried about shaping the side seams but want the hems to equal the quality of the sweaters.

Sock Knitting calculators
Two calculators generate knitting patterns.
Liz's Sock Calculator
This cool tool will produce a sock pattern based on the guage of the yarn you have, height from floor and length of foot and if it is for hand or machine knitting.
Elizabeth Bennett's sock program for crew socks.

knitPro chart maker
knitPro is a free web application that translates digital images into knit, crochet, needlepoint and cross-stitch patterns. Just upload jpeg, gif or png (file should be less than 1 MB) images of whatever you wish -- portraits, landscapes, logos... and it will generate the image pattern on a graph sizable for any fiber project.
