On this page you will find knitting (and some crochet) tips and tricks, videos and patter sites I’ve gathered from around the internet.  Some of these have been very helpful to me, others I just thought were really cool, and wanted to pass them along.

If you know of any online resource that has helped you, feel free to email me and I’ll add your link here.
