I wonder if you have seen this? It's an impressing stitch library, I think! If I printed everything out, I would have a splendid gift for a lover of knitting!
(First, links to "everything")
Scroll down: links to tecniques and knit/purl patterns.
Further down: lots of links to lace patterns and more knit and purl.
At the bottom: LOTS of aran patterns.
The page is Dutch, but everything is also in English, links at the right side.
