Plus, I really like double-knit. So, there. That&#39;s why I plotted and planned and waited and finally purchased my new knitting board today. I have plans for two Christmas presents to be knitted on this board, so I&#39;d better get knitting.<\/p>\n<p>As far as patterns, there are some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knittingboard.com\/articles.asp?id=6\">free patterns<\/a> on the Authentic Knitting Board website. I discovered <a href=\"http:\/\/cache.lionbrand.com\/cgi-bin\/patternFinder.fcgi?search=Search&amp;searchText=knitting+board\">a few more<\/a> on the Lion Brand pattern site, and there is a fairly new Yahoo group for the knitting board, not to mention the other sites, boards, listservs, and Ravelry groups that include knitting board information along with knitting looms, so I think I&#39;ll have more than enough to think about.
