How long is a piece of string? One of my colleagues at work wanted a list of 'all' the websites with free knitting patterns for her mum. As most knitters know, there are literally thousands of such sites; so many that it is amazing that we still manage to go out and purchase patterns. But a computer print-out will never replace the feel of a 'proper' book. So I quickly sent her links to some of my favourites.
MagKnits - quarterly British site which has included my favourite diagonal scarf pattern and a good short-row top for big busted women.
Mostly Knitting - site by Australian knitter Sarah Bradberry. Lots of charts, re-written old patterns, great roll-brim hat and fingerless gloves.
Knitting Pattern Central - as the name suggests, a connection to lots of free patterns (including mine!)
Knitting About - I sometimes find myself going in circles here, but there are some good gems buried amongst the ads.
KnittingHelp - a recent discovery; includes some good basics.
Knitty - it would be sacrilege to leave Knitty out although it is very American-centric. Worth a look just for the obligatory weirdo pattern of the issue.

Don't forget elann.com for some nice freebies, and you will find that many of your sites are on a free knitting pattern ring, which can also be followed round and round and round.....
And another Karen says "Don't forget ravelry.com." It's MY absolute favourite.
Going crazy. Could you please advise where I could find a free pattern for a 3 year old basic crew neck jumper with wide stripes? Would be soooo greatful if you know of one!

Everest Trekking
The Everest Trek region of Nepal is one of the best known treks in the world. This is the land of the Sherpa people and the world's great 8,000 meter peaks. Many trekkers walk in from the road head at Jiri, through the lovely rolling hills of the Solu region. Others fly in to the village of Lukla to start their trek. A few days above Lukla is the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park and the town of Namche Bazaar, where most trekkers take a day to acclimatize to the high altitude. From here one may branch towards the village of Thame or continue on to take on of the two main Khumbu routes, to Gokyo Lake or towards the Everest base camp. Beyond Namche Bazaar is the Sherpa village of Khumjung and further on the famous monastery of Thyangboche. Here the Mani Rimdu festival of dances is celebrated every year.
