One way to get around this economy and keep on knittin' on is to create more one skein projects and gifts. I've always been a huge fan of mixing it up and alternating between labor intensive projects and short, fun one skein knit or crochet projects. Spice up your knittng and crochet, save some money, check out all the free one skein patterns out there and live it up a little!
Check out all the sales, discounts and free shipping opportunities out there on the net and also at your local yarn or craft store. Subscribe to online coupons or at your local yarn stores. Scour the thrift shops (I really like Goodwill for this activity) yard sales, estate sales. You can also have a yarn swap in your community or with your friends on Ravelry.
Ravelry has many wonderful one skein projects available to you. Use the Pattern tab at the top of your project page to search by name, designer, yarn, etc.
Here are a few links I like to use that will help you get started in your search.
