USA Frugalists Save Using Easy Free Knitting Patterns

Savvy USA Frugalists Use Free Easy Knitting Patterns!

Many USA frugalists use free knitting patterns to create gifts for family and friends. Knitting for family and friends does several things at once. First, it gives you a bit more exercise than just sitting. Second, knitting actually has been found to be very soothing and can reduce the need for anti-anxiety medications- thereby saving you money. Finally, depending on the item, you are knitting, you can save a bundle!
Don’t have someone to knit for? Consider donating your finished knitted piece to an appropriate local charity (for example,  donate baby booties to a pregnancy help centre.)). You’ll get a great sense of satisfaction knowing that your knitting helped someone in need. Remember to take a photo of your donation, so you can share it and inspire the giving in others!

    1. Yes ,it's amazing how many studies point to knitting as a great way to help with anxiety .I wonder if other knitters find interspersing quick easy projects while doing a larger one like an afghan works well for them.
      Benson Henry Insitute's study of knitting found that knitting actually lowers heart rates by 11 beats a minute!
