You can find great buys at garage sales, good will stores, and I clip coupons for JoAnn Fabrics etc. I love a good yarn sale no matter where it is. Also FREE patterns or websites are wonderful. Anytime you can get a pattern for free it really saves.

I buy the biggest amts of yrn at yard sales. you also can get free patterns on Ravelry Just put in on your computer -free crochet patterns for-what ever pattern you are looking for-gobs will show up.Look thru & copy the ones you want. I have never bought a pattern. I did buy a book of squares but it was a good sale price.I also watch sale prices at Walmarts which is the only place I had to buy yarn until recently. Town 10 mi. North of me just got a Meijer store & they have yarn. Better selection than Walmart. They don't have much variety at Walmart anymore & it's the same kind & color all the time.I have scored big several times at Good will also.

Patterns
If I am looking for a particular needlework book or pattern, and after I have exhausted the search on free sites, I go to Amazon. Just last week I saw a book at a yarn shop. I went to Amazon and found the very book for $1.99 + 3.99 shipping. It was listed as used but in very good condition. I was so happy to open the package and discovered that this book had probably never been opened. Not a mark on it! So for $6 I got a lovely book that I will l use again and again.

Saving Money
I do what everyone else does - free patterns, sale yarn (specially online), thrift stores, senior discounts, etc. It all adds up!

Saving money on projects.
There are two ways of looking at this question. Finding great deals on yarn/thread is wonderful. Another aspect for me is "sticker-shock" when I see the high prices on clothing and accessories in stores that are often machine made knitting. Handmade items are very pricey. So I feel good giving handmade gifts. The value is more than I could afford to go out and buy...and I know the quality is high...it feels so good to hear a squeel of joy when a friend/loved one sees their gift!
