Yes, we all love free patterns. The nice thing is it frees us up to splurge on supplies. Ravelry is my go to place for patterns and keeping up with whats going on in the fiber world.
I also want to suggest Knitty. The Spring/Summer issue is out. Knitty is the longest-running free knitting magazine on the web. Launched in 2002, there are more than 9 years worth of fabulous knitting patterns and articles to be found on the website.In each issue you will also find Knittyspin. Here you can find a wealth of information about spinning techniques, spinning wheel upkeep, patterns using your hand spun and much more.
Here is a sample of this issues offerings.

Knitty always includes patterns for hand spun yarns, this issue has a wonderful shawl done in a lace weight called Boscobel
THE KNITTY LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY INDEX [Kind of like a menu. But not really.]
Suitable for beginners. Relaxing, not mentally taxing. Knitting as therapy.
Tired of scarves? Ready for something more challenging? Try these. Fun things with zing. A twist, even.
A little something for the seasoned knitter. Daring but not exhausting.
Suitable for those with a lot of experience. Or patience. Or both. These babies have teeth. Hoo boy.
So go on over and browse the treasures. All back issues are available. Get a cup of coffee or tea, you might be there for a while.
