New Links on our web for the week of October 26, 2006 Leisure HGTV: Crafts "a wide variety of “how-to” projects" (SR) Knitting Help "Although experts say the Continental knitting method (holding the yarn in your left hand) is faster, holding the yarn in your right hand (called English) is the most popular method in the States. English is also the easiest style for kids to learn. Knitting Help showcases both schools with their how-to-knit videos, found in Getting Started, Basic Techniques and Advanced Techniques. They also host a very active discussion forum, a few pages of free patterns, and a glossary of knitting abbreviations." (STN) Knitting Pattern Central "Knitting Pattern Central "is an online directory featuring thousands of links to free knitting patterns, currently with over fifty categories from which to choose, including hats, sweaters, afghans, ponchos, mittens and gloves, kitchen items, toys, and much more." Another fun section is Tips ‘n Tricks with over eight pages of reader-submitted knitting tips." (STN) Parenting Resources Connect with Kids "preview any of our videos, watch our weekly news stories or search our extensive online archive of thousands of topics. Our site is full of parenting tips focused on helping you improve your parenting skills." 12:01:35 PM
