New & Novel: Crafts

Is there a wrong time of the year to talk about crafting? We don't think so! We've seen lots of interesting crafty titles check in and out around us, and we thought we'd give a shout out to some of the ones we thought looked most interesting. Would you like to hear more about our offerings for a particular craft? Let us know in the comments.
