I would love to find a website with really good knitting patterns on it, preferably for free, for patterns which would appeal to teenage knitters. Everything is very old fashioned, but i would really like to knit something quirkier
please can anybody give me some websites?

not cheap but great wool and free patterns
Find 3 great links here: http://newfreebooks.com/#websites
You can try Lion Brand Yarn, garnstudio.com, knittingplaza.com. knitnet.com.
there are thousands. each yarn maker has a website where you can download free patterns. try searching bernat, patons, lion brand, red heart etc. you’ll find loads of young styles
Have you checked out these:
http://lionbrand.com/
http://knitty.com/
You should consider joining:
http://ravelry.com/
It is a place where knitters and crocheters share their creations. Many will offer their patterns for free or show what inspired their projects. I often check out items and realize that I have that pattern book but it looks different done in a different color or type of yarn.
this is a great basic site. http://www.grannys-garret.com/knit/how_to/knitting_glossary.html
Also try magknits.com and fiberfemmes.com for some interesting patterns. And remember to check the archives at knitty.com for patterns from past issues.

All free patterns, most very easy, fast to make, and best of all, the website is geared for people to make items for humanitarian causes worldwide.
You likely have a have a hospital near you who could use handmade preemie items or newborn items.

It’s a wonderful feeling to make things for others who are in great need.
I use two sites and between them there are lots of free patterns.
Knitty.com
knitpicks.com
they both have some really good patterns.
Another place that you can check out is
free patterns.com
they have a bunch of links on their site.
if you can’t find patterns to your liking why not try designing your own patterns with free software from here

There are buckets of websites for knitting.
MY personal favorite websites to visit are:
Knitty.com: http://knitty.com/
Knitting Pattern Central (Directory – has an elephant’s worth of patterns – pratically everything you can think of): http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory.php
There is this great community/networking site called Ravelry.com, where you can network with other knitters (or network via projects you’re interested in). You can also find numerous projects to be inspired by (and done by a wide range of ages too): http://www.ravelry.com
Allot, if not all, of the companies that make yarn will have some sort of pattern database.
Lion Brand (only one that you have to sign up/in for to get to the patterns): http://www.lionbrand.com/content-knittingPatternIndex.html?l=1
Caron Yarn: http://www.naturallycaron.com/projects/item_index/knit.html
