If you're low on cash and high on creativity, consider making gifts this year. The following resources are packed with ideas.
Gifts from the Kitchen
Crafts
Knitting and Needlework
- Yarn Lover's Room
This is one of the few knitting sites that offers free patterns and advice.
- Wonderful Stitches
This site for stitchery enthusiasts offers a selection of needlepoint, cross-stitch and quilt stitches, plus needlework projects and other needlework links.
Origami
- Joseph Wu's Origami Page
This is the granddaddy of all origami sites. In addition to diagrams, it contains links to valuable resources -- like origami history, associations and paper suppliers.
Paper
Quilting
The Quilt Shop
Quilt Basket
What do these sites have in common (other than the obvious)? They all sell quilt patterns and fabrics. Some of them tease you with a free pattern, but you have to shell out cash for the good stuff.
