The Bounty of the Internet

How lucky we are as knitters to have the bounty of the Internet. Not only can we communicate with each other via email, but also our blogs!!! How long I had knit and spun in isolation for many years;now thanks to cyberspace we are not alone. The Internet has also created friendships where people meet virtually which sometimes leads to face-to-face meetings.

Lately I am enjoying the bonus of free patterns. I found this small felted bag and large felted bag pattern on Knit Net. I remember when the whole Knit Net site was free, but, of course, magazine writers deserve to earn a living. I wonder if this will happen with Knitty? Check out Trellis...it's lovely!!!! Also Plethora of Petals....
