When I started knitting, I just started out using the cheap yarn you could buy from Meijer or Walmart. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but at some point in your life you’ve got to move on. You know what I mean? When you start getting advanced and you want to knit yourself something nice, we’ll say a blanket, you want that nice, soft, fluffy yarn. And let’s face it, it’s not cheap. But with the help of some knitter friends, theres ways that you can save money.

   

 One way to save money when knitting is to remember, usually every time you end a project, there's still a little ball of yarn that hasn’t been used yet. So here’s what you do. You save it! Make something out of all the little balls of yarn. Who cares if they’re different colored socks. They’re cool and you saved money! You could also make dish towels out of them and little baby rags. Whatever your little mind wants to create, you could probably do it with all those little balls of yarn.
