I think it would be good to trade helpful websites, blogsites, knitting book reviews.

I have one word RAVELRY!

www.ravelry.com

its still in its beta testing stage but you can sign up for an invitation to join.

I totally second Ravelry. I just found out there is such a thing as glow-in-the-dark yarn thanks to it. Joy!

And the wait list is Much shorter now.

My favorite knitting blogs are:

The last one doesn't post much because she has a baby, but wow her pictures are gorgeous.

what types of knitting are you interested in?  Fair Isle?  Lace?

My interest is in lace as well as textured knitting such as Bavarian twisted stitches and aran cables.  I have done a lot of intarsia, but i think i am done with this for the moment.

I have collected a number of very good websites for different types of knitting; if you are interested, please let me know your top interests.

In addition, I have a very good collection of books (not for trade though!); I could recommend some titles if you let me know your interests.

I liked doing socks and sweaters, tanks in the round. Dont like knitting in pieces and putting it together.

as little seaming as possible for me! lol

Hi..I'm new here. I can knit and crochet....but am just barely past novice.  I used to make slippers.you know the old Aunt Maggie knit and pearl ones.   What I would like now is an EASY knitting pattern for more of a slipper sock or bootie (for adult)... Does anyone have such a thing? I found one on line, picture and all but it would not allow me to print it.  I need the picture and easy instructions... I feel silly asking this because probably most of you are far more accomplished than this... : )

I'm another Ravelry fan!! My queue is excessively long - but there's just so many great free patterns that I don't want to forget about. LOL

There's a great blog called Wendy Knits (found at wendyknits.net ) that I enjoy reading from time to time. There's a lot of great blogs out there - but Wendy's sticks out to me.

I'm a sock knitter - not sure if it's because I love doing them so, or if it's out of necessity. Probably a bit of both :) If I'm not doing socks, I'm either knitting something else, crocheting, cross-stitching, spinning or sewing.

Great to meet other knitters!!!
