Handy Knitting and Yarn Links
I am very grateful to the sources of inspiration and the resources I have for the knitting I've been doing. Please patronize the merchants below and visit the other sites to see what you can learn from them!
Yarn and Patterns on the Internet
- Berroco: a yarn and pattern company with lots of good free stuff on their site, and many nice yarns to look at. They also have a nice online newsletter.
- Edie Eckman: author, teacher and colleague in my other work! She has taught so many to knit, including my older son!
- Heartstrings: site of a very nice knitter with good taste and nice links
- Interweave Press: publishers of many knitting books and a great knitting magagine, I like that they put all the corrections and errata up for readers' reference.
-
Kaleidoscope Yarns in scenic Vermont: they have every color of Eros yarn for scarves!
- Knitpicks: Inexpensive and creative yarns. Their catalog is fun, too.
- Knitting Universe: Home of Kintter's Magazine, a wonderful resource.
- Knitty: fun online knitting resource
- Lorna's Laces: ooh-wee that Lorna, she has a mind-boggling array of colors, drool drool, and "Heaven" yarn.
- Noro: The World of Nature: Japanese site of one of my favorite yarn lines. All designed by one man, Mr. Eisaku Noro!
- Sock Knitters Site: web site of resources from the socknitters email list. A bit primitive, but there is a lot here!
- Straw.com: home of Crystal Palace Yarns
Local Resources
If you are in greater Austin, Texas, please check out the local yarn stores! If you are anywhere else, please check YOUR local yarn store, because if you don't shop there, they might not stick around to answer your questions and be your neighborly resource.
- Bluebonnet Yarn Shoppe: "My" local yarn shop, in nearby Cedar Park. Come by and you may very well see me there! I teach classes there, sell my patterns there, and do their website.
- Hill Country Weavers: another wonderful Austin yarn resource, for those of you in the more southern sections.
