Please tell me your favorite knitting......

site or forum that's not Wooly Wonder. So I guess that automatically makes it your second favorite knitting site.

I'm looking specifically for those that feature advertising. I'm trying to drum up some more places to host our banner ads when we've got it ready.

It would be especially helpful if you were friendly with the owner! Lol!

We've already got two places willing to host our ads for free:

1.) Knitter's Review Forum

2.) CookiePants Knitting Page

3.) LTK Forums

Thanks a million! :ribbon

I was unaware there were other knitting forums. :LOL How about some of the knitting yahoo groups? They do alot of charity knitting.

hey katie, I'll pu it up on teh LTK forums for you :) Email me the banner.

how about knitty? or knitter's review? or craftser? I think bella online has a knitting forum, too.

hey, not really a knitting forum, but what about ad space on amitymama and on gentlemothering.com? Both have a large craft group and forums :)

[ravingcutie]

Good idea, T! You're just full of helpful suggestions!

allcrafts.net has a message board and they have advertising space on the homepage.

I asked at AMitysworld about having a sig line banner - it's $15 for the year and I'd be happy to pay it. I don't know how much traffic it will generate (it's not like I'm the queen poster over there), but that's a pretty easy amount for me. I have also PMed the admama to ask for the prices on other banner advertising (tho I'm guessing Theresa knows it?).

FWIW, Margaret/Rocket Scientist/an Admin over there told me that if the charity is a non profit (501c?) they would post a banner for free.

Any and all help is appreciated!
