TIPS
1. Head to Goodwill or your local thrift shop and start scrounging around for needles and yarn. Although you might not want the yarn for a finished product, it's a cheap way to learn new stitches or perfect a pattern. Same goes for needles, you can find all sizes for at least half the price!
2. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR GAUGE!!
