Frugal Crafting

Knitting, sewing, and other handcrafts have all surged in popularity in the past few years, but these are not our mothers' crafts; the emphasis is on edgy creativity. Crafters are urged to take part in knit mischief; to form knitting and crafting circles; to share their DIY know-how; and to take craft to a new level.

As a result, there are plenty of places that cater to crafters -- but if you're paying full price for craft supplies, you're going to go broke pretty quickly.
