New to crafts?

Has all this knitting and crocheting on the subway made you a tad jealous? Hearing about craft parties and friends taking sewing class make you inspired? Why not take up a craft? The one thing I tell my 101 students is not to get frustrated, it's suppose to be fun. March is National Craft Month and you can start a craft without spending the bank.

Go to fabric.com http://www.fabric.com/knitting-crochet.aspx/?cm_re=SL1-_-quilting-_-Craft%20Knitting  15% off knitting and crocheting supplies.  

Classes in NYC? 3rdward has a great crochet workshop 3rdward in Brooklyn or check out Lion Brands intro classses, right in Chelsea.

Scrapbooking? this is a fun and memory keep craft. Check out joann.com for supplies on sale and to get started or http://www.michaels.com/

Ok so you are not a crafter but love crafts? Check out etsy to buy one of a kind and beautiful gifts, crocheted items for sale on etsy.

Look at this cute baby sweater, perfect gift for that spring baby.  http://www.etsy.com/listing/49079124/cotton-cardigan-0-24-month-sizes

So don't be intimated by Craft Month. Check out your local meet up groups, http://www.meetup.com/ or ask at your local yarn or fabric store about classes. Enjoy!
