Knitting Websites

Knitty.com:  

This is one of the best, if not the best, websites for patterns, how-to explanations, inspiration, etc.

 

craftzine.com blog knitting archive

This is the Craftzine link to the knitting archive.  You can search this for specifc projects or you can browse.  The links will take you to the websites of the creators of some very creative projects and once on their website, a window into their world!

 

The Dulaan Project

is a cooperative effort of Mossy Cottage Knits, Flagstaff International Relief Effort (F.I.R.E.) and Kunzang Palyul Chöling (KPC) Buddhist community. It provides hand-knit items and fleece blankets to the impoverished people of Mongolia, where it rarely gets above freezing on winter days, and where the temperature can often reach -40°F at night. To survive, many of the homeless live in the heating ducts below the nation’s cities.
