Reference

Knitting information from Annie's Attic -- This is one of my favourite sites. I'll go here when I can't remember quite how this or that works and more often than not, she'll have the answer!

Knitting Symbols and Terms -- A nice, quick one page reference of the common stitches and terms you'll see in knitting patterns around the world.
