I hope this helps.

I joined www.ravelry.com/ which is an international online community of knitters, with many forums on yarn, patterns, etc. There are a number of free patterns which you can just download and store, and the ones for sale are reasonable prices. It's also a good place for problem-solving - just ask a question and 20 people from around the world will happily share their knowledge.

Knitting pattern central is great for all sorts.

My favorite site is www.lionbrandyarn.com they have great designs and the yarn is easy to find in most craft stores and at a good price!

my favourite is lionbrand where all patterns are free.
