I think Ravelry looks like a great place and I’ve sent an email for an invite to the community.
Finished a couple this weekend. With more football games in sight I’ll be knitting away through them.
Hope you have a good holiday too. Kitty

They still required hand-finishing (it knits in stockinette, but converting a couple of columns of stitches to make it ribbing is pretty simple. I’m 45 minutes SW of OKC, but if you get down to a crazy time crunch, feel free to look me up at carly (dot) purcell (at) gmail (dot) com. Substitute the characters for the words in parenthesis, remove the spaces, and you’re good to go!

There are some online groups (YahooGroups & Ravelry to name two) that are really good with the knitting patterns.

Good luck to you & Happy Holidays!!
Carly
