My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The

The beginning knitter’s gold mine
Knowing little about knitting, except fuzzy memories of what my mom taught me when I was a kid, I searched the web and found this FABULOUS site:
http://www.knittinghelp.com/
The web editor is a videographer, and she’s got tons of videos on how to knit. Even better, she shows each knitting technique in both the American knitting method and Continental (German) knitting method.
I only knew the American method, but after watching the videos of the Continental method, I switched to that instead. It’s so much faster and easier.
The way you hold the yarn in the Continental method is also very similar to crocheting, so I recommended it to my auntie, who’s great at crocheting and wanted to learn how to knit.
The website goes into all the things a beginning knitter would need to know, such as casting on, joining yarn, binding off, etc.
For this novice knitter, this site is priceless. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and thought I might give it some link love.
A few other sites that are helpful are:

Any other knitters want to chime in with favorite websites?

Thanks!

also has a lot of videos, plus she's offering a DVD to teach basic techniques.
I like reading The Yarn Harlot's blog. She's hilarious!
