Default Any knitters?

I now need an aran knit cardigan pattern for a man . I finally was able to find
the oiled wool today and now can start this xmas present if someone can find me
a pattern. Does no one knit any more? No knitting shops or hardly any yarn
out there today which really shocked me.

We have a very nice yarn shop in my hometown. I'm not much of a knitter but
she has some of the most delicious yarns!!

If you are looking for freebies, check www.lionbrand.com (free patterns,
knit, adult). If you want to buy, check www.elann.com, www.knitpicks.com,
www.patternworks.com, or try google.

God bless you Ann.
The fisherman's wool made by Lion is what I got and they do have a pattern
online but it is for a woman. Can I use that?

You might try googling the rec.crafts.textiles.yarn group. They know an awful
lot of places to shop. Meanwhile, I came across this one.

Pretty plain, but it's free.

I like Vogue knitting. Their site has a good links page.

I haven't knit very much recently, although I am beginning to think I should
start up again. I've been looking at a pattern in alpaca wool for the past 10
years or so, and think I might just do it after I use up some of my yarn
scraps. Which requires me to sort my yarns, of course.

I thought you were in the Metro DC area, in which case there are definately
some yarn shops.

But if patterns are all you are after you can try a library, a google search
for "Knitting Patterns + Aran" will definately give you some patterns to look
at.

Also Knitters Magazine and Vogue Knitting are available in most large chain
bookstores. Because arans are classic, you can usually find one or two
patterns per issue.

Good Luck

I'm very lucky. I live in an area with an LNS, LQS and LYS.... all
separate stores.

I knit, but I do boring stuff- ordinary stocking stitch afghans. I try
to use yarn that I find interesting though.

Recently, my beloved has picked up the crochet hook again and is raiding
my stash. If only I could convince him to shop for his own stash! LOL.
Still, it does give me the excuse to expand my own stash.

I don't know why not! Just use the appropriate chest measurement (be sure to
include ease!)
