DIY Knitting Patterns and Tutorials

Knitting is one of the crafts I’ve been meaning to learn forever. Years ago, I received a ‘how to’ knitting book with all the supplies needed for beginners. I must have looked over the book and tried to knit a bunch of different ways for over a week – but just couldn’t get anywhere! I’m thinking about going to a class at Jo-Ann’s – hopefully they can teach me! In the mean time, here are some free patterns and tutorials for those who can knit.
