#1 knitter’s website
ravelry.com 100, 000+ users share their project photos and notes, yarn reviews, patterns (free and for purchase), and participate in very active forum. This is also home to the Christa Knits group for both patterns and the podcast, and all of my designs can be found on their own project pages here!
