Discovered great site for free knitting patterns

Just had a quick look and I love the Christmas slippers!

How fabulous I'm off to find my needle's,nice Christmas present's coming up

Thank you ninnynanny ...I've just frittered away a couple of hours rummaging about on the site!!

I remember crocheting a bikini in the 60s . . . .
Probably not a good look now!

It's fantastic! I must finish my current project and have a go. I remember knitting a couple of dresses when I was at college - and had the nerve to wear them too!!!! I also remember making a cardigan / jacket in blackberry stitch and my son who was crawling at the time, pulled out the needles!!!!!

I had a look at the site but couldn't work out how to 'open' the patterns.

Any one out there discovered Ravelry, you need to registerbut lots of ideas and free patterns.

Neither could I, Baggy.

What a brilliant site! To open the pattern just click on the flag.

Try Ravelry site too and lots of hints tips and a chat community

My daughter wants me to crochet my grandaughter a ponch! I made one for her when she was little and she loved it. Now I have to find a pattern. Looked at the website and there's one on there for a child's poncho. Printed and will have a look at it.

Thanks ninnynanny for the information

Thanks so much for this ninnynanny. I have already downloaded some patterns and can't wait to get clicking :-)

I missed this before, a friend just pointed it out to me, I have spent ages browsing the many patterns.
Of course I had to order some wool!! Just for 2 scarves for Xmas presies, will see what the wool is like.

Thanks Ninnynanny, Baggy the pattern is just there, keep scrolling down and it appears

Brilliant - thanks for sharing

Craftsy.com also have quite a few knitting and crochet free patterns. They are good for craft ideas too.
