Pattern/Book/Magazine reviews
Let's face it. Knitting and Crocheting are "in" right now. There are tons of patterns out there - online, in books, in magazines, etc. But how do you separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak? How do you know what patterns are written well and which ones are poo? Which books are worth blowing $20 on? Which magazines are worth subscribing to?

Post your own reviews to this thread.

Please include the source (URL link, Book title, Magazine title, etc.), the skill level, and your impressions of the pattern/book/magazine.

A cool online magazine with tons of free patterns. This is one of my favorite sites.

http://www.kittyville.com/knit.html

I have knit the hats on this site. The patterns are cute & easy to follow.

DIY network knitting page. Patterns featured on the program "Knitty Gritty". Also, instructions on techniques. Most of the patterns are beginner level or fairly easy.

This site is a really interesting blog. She is mostly a crocheter, but does knit as well. I love the creativity an humor in her original pieces.
