Helpful webpage for crochet and knitting references

Anj mentions that it can be a little hard to follow a detailed pattern, especially, I find when you are not sure of all the abbreviations. There's a great webpage from the Craft Yarn Council of America that includes all sorts of helpful references for knitting and crocheting. Now that I've found this, I might be able to follow a crochet pattern! I also like the standard sizing charts for baby, child, woman, man and head. See Standards & Guidelines for Crochet & Knitting.
