More and more people are rediscovering crafts these days, and craft mavens such as comedienne, writer, and hobbyist Amy Sedaris are dusting off the world of the crocheted tea cozy and finger puppets in a number of innovative and inherently hip ways. Sponsored by the magazine Craft, this site contains a weblog of compelling craft projects, excerpts from their print magazine, and a number of community forums where visitors can kvetch and commune about their diverse craft experiences. The "Projects" area is a delight, as visitors will get introduced to multi-colored spiral crochet hats and funky skirts made out of fabric from a broken umbrella. There are even a few projects that may gain the attention of costume-oriented visitors, such as a rather compelling pattern for a knitted wig that will allow the wearer to resemble Princess Leia of Star Wars fame. Like a child at a candy store, even casual visitors may find themselves dipping back into this site's proverbial jar of craft treats and projects repeatedly while no one's looking.
