I've been drooling over adorable skirties for awhile now, and I'm fairly crafty so I've been thinking about learning to crochet and making my own. I know how to knit, and I've heard from friends that crocheting is easier. I've been thinking about buying the Wiggle Bunz Creations Patterns for soakers, skirties, longies, etc.
My question is- I'm not really familiar with yarn prices and such, so for those of you who make your own, do you find it to be cost effective? Are you saving money doing it yourself over purchasing ready-made pieces? Or after buying all the wool and stuff would it be comparable? I guess you only buy the pattern once and can use it over and over so that seems like it's saving money.... enlighten me please.

Check out this Bumpie Business List .
For all 3
def. cheaper to make your own.
i've been using the wigglebunz pattern and so far love it.
Thanks for the referral to Ravelry.com- it has tons of patterns!! For both knitting and crocheting too- now I just need to figure out what's at my skill level.
