Does anyone know of a site that may have videos or lessons on hand knitting
sweaters?? I wish to make one and the only time I tried,there were errors in
the pattern where the sleeves were concerned and I became very disillusioned
in making one. I knit a lot of lace and intricate things,but cannot get the
hang of a darn sweater!!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Some books

Elizabeth Zimmermann: Knitting Workshop
Discusses the EZP method of calculating a sweater based on a master
measurement for the finished chest. Various methods of producing
no-sew fake-seam shoulder shapings.

Barbara Walker: Knitting from the Top
Among other things, how to knit a sweater from the neck down.

Maggie Righetti: Sweater Design in Plain English
Make any sort of sweater imaginable, including a few that shouldn't be
worn by grown women. Excellent resource if you need to accomodate odd
or ample body shapes and don't care to do so with a potato sack.
