hi, i'm allison from imagiknit in san francisco.i wanted to tell you a little bit about getting free patterns for knitting or crocheting projects.for example at my shop, i give up all the patterns that write free with the purchaseof the yarn, so your local yarn store often times will have free patterns that they havedesigned or that are free from the distributor with the purchase of the yarn. you can alsofind quite a few free patterns on the internet on blogs, have been very popular these days,so there are many knitting patterns there. and also the yarn companies and yarn distributorsoften times will have many many free patterns that will compliment their yarns that theyproduce.
