You could probably just Google "beginners knitting patterns" and come up with a bunch of easy stuff.

Wow! Thanks for the links!

In the DIY Baby Items thread, there is a link to a bunch of baby knitting patterns. That's what I started with when I began knitting-- quick and easy, and makes you feel like you can actually finish a project.

I do, I'm a beginer knitter (used to knit when I was younger and have picked back up recently). I'm wondering where I can buy needles and supplies at cheap prices. I looked around ebay and everything is still super expensive.

Any tips on where to buy knitting supplies at reasonable prices?

If you have a Michael's or Hobby Lobby nearby, they have 40% off coupons in the Sunday paper almost every week. You can slowly build up your supplies that way.

I just picked up some needles again lately and found this site good: if you sign up for the weekly newsletter it includes new stiches & patterns. Also has how to do many of the basic stitches etc.

I want a Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles kit, but I can't find that at Michaels. I looked on ebay and they are listed at outrageous prices (used), I might as well spend the 50.00 on a new set.
