links and resources for knitters
Here are some great knitters resources for you to use. There are lots of links for you to find more great patterns, yarns, tools and books to help you along the way. I have affiliate relationships with some of these suppliers - after all, this site has to be funded! and these are noted. Clicking on these links will help me to continue to expand this site.
If you have a suggestion for an addition to this page, please send a note to Peg at tricks and I'll add it as soon as I can.
