    Arrow Easy and Frugal ideas needed

    Hey everyone!

    My daughter just started private school... apparently being seen knitting in the office while waiting for her to be tested meant I was volunteering for the Christmas Bazaar!

    I need ideas for EASY crafts. Something I can make a lot of and quickly since it's in November! It's a church bazaar, so I am sure the standard baby items are covered by the parish grannies.

    I am still in the basic knitting stage... knitting and purling, I can make patterns but it has to be a knit or a purl, no fancy knitting

    I can crochet, but after YankeeMom said it takes more yarn to crochet than knit... I have hidden the hooks

    I thought about the patterned dishcloths... I thought about prayer shawls since the church is OLD... I thought about a ton of things... but, I think everyone else has to...
    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

    Try looking at www.craftster.org. They have a section on knitting and have some great ideas! It's a huge crafting website, so beware! The first time I found the website, I was browsing around for almost 3 hours!
