I am NOT an idiot but figuring out the instructions on some of these
knitting patterns is impossible! Does anyone know a web site with clear explanations and diagrams?

How about this one for example:

"Sl first st knitwise, k 2nd but do not remove from LH needle, psso,yo,k2tog (3rd and 2nd sts)"

1. Knittinghelp.com is great
That says:

Slip the first stitch knitwise to the right hand needle, knit the second stitch but don't remove it from the left hand needle, pass slipped stitch over, yarn over, knit the 2nd and 3rd stitch together.

:) Lace pattern?

2. Ohhhhh, I hate smarties! Yup, a lace pattern, my first try at it. I want
to make a lace shawl for Will's fiance for the wedding. It going to be in October and she wants a wedding dress without sleeves so I figure it would be a nice gift and useful too. Do you think I'll have enough time to figure this stuff out? :eyes:

3. Yes indeed!
I'm working on a lace shawl right now myself. Almost done. :)

A great knitting messageboard is the Knitty Coffeeshop. Go to Knitty.com and sign up! A wealth of knowledge there. Also, they have a lace forum. :D
