What Frugal/Cheap/Old Style websites do you visit

Hi everyone, I'm a regular lurker on this board.

Just wanted to know if anyone knows of any crafting sites or OS sites, as I want some inspiration as I've started knitting, cross-stitching and was bought a sewing machine for xmas. I want to get the most out of all of them, but get stuck on what to do & this year I want to make a conscious effort to hand make most presents without spending to much money.

Any ideas or websites would be great!"

I use craftster.org- loads of things on there and nice people quite often post their patterns for free. have fun.

Thank you TFMF!" Hopefully I'll be able to practice enough to actually be able to give things as presents:)

If you're a knitter, then you definitely shouldn't be without ravelry. Lots of patterns for absolutely everything, many of them free.

Hi there
I put my stuff on cutoutandkeep, there are some great makes on there. Crafts Beautiful has some lovely projects too. Otherwise, have a look at my blog (it's under my homepage if you click on my forum name) I've got a list of favourite blogs that I read on the right hand side, some inspiring stuff there.
