Hand Knitting Links
If you want to start up the Knitting Guild for Beginners again, you'll have to call the Amherst IT department and have them reset the password for you. The website, as far as I know, is still being stored on the UNIX server.
This is a list of the links, by needle size needed, so you can pick a project by what you happen to have. Unlisted patterns aren't specific to a needle size.
