We talk about knitting on a budget.
Some tips:

- Knit lace/fine gauge projects.
- Finish one project, buy one project.
- Yarn swaps!
- Trade  (babysitting for yarn)
- Knit samples for yarn
companies/designers
- Comparison shop
- Give KnitCents a listen!

Flowers Stole in a twist. Jasmin
knits her sleeves too long. Gigi makes a pair of enormous entrelac socks
(out of Socks,
Socks, Socks).
