I worked on my first Kickstarter and it got approved! It’s for the Special Edition Hardcover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer and the release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster. I contacted my graphic designer about the Special Edition Hardcover of vol. 1: Archer—it’s going to be SO beautiful! The Kickstarter focuses on the Special Edition Hardcover, but it’ll also include vol. 7: Spinster so that it’ll sort of be like a launch day for vol. 7, too. A third special thing that’ll be in the Kickstarter is Special Edition Paperbacks of all the books in the series. They won’t be available in stores, just in the Kickstarter (and later, from my website, and also in my Patreon book box tiers if I decide to do them). The Kickstarter is not live yet, but you can follow it to be alerted when it has launched. (You may need to create a free Kickstarter account.) Follow Camy’s Kickstarter

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!
