Aside from that you don't have much of a start up cost to take up either hobby. Just a hook or some needles and the yarn. It keeps you entertained for hours.<BR/><BR/>I think the biggest thing to the boom though is that people are so stressed right now. They have talked themselves into the mentality that making your own clothes and gifts is cheaper then buying them. So you have more people turning to handicrafts that produce lovely items and keep their hands and minds busy.caednkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00043317738778918309noreply@blogger.com
