Historic Knitting in Britain

The Victoria and Albert Museum has very interesting articles and pictures of regional knitting history in Britain.

There are vintage patterns too! I had a hard time finding the actual patterns until I found this page.. You can click through the images and a link will appear next to each with a WORD and PDF version. Take your time going through the images...there are some GREAT patterns here. Enjoy your "trip" to London.

Cool online knitting tool

I just saw this on TIPNUT:

The “How Many…?” Knitting Tool: A free online calculator to figure out how many stitches or rows to increase (or decrease), how many stitches to cast on (for a particular width) and how many rows to knit (for a particular length).

I am bookmarking this one.
