What is Craftsy?

It’s no secret that I think I’m a crafty girl. I enjoy sewing (I basically taught myself) and I enjoy crocheting, though I can only crochet a straight line. I paint ceramics, scrapbook and I just think crafts are super fun. There was a time that I was a little obsessed with cake decorating. (That lasted for about 6 months.)

I would love to learn how to knit. (Yep, it’s different than crocheting.) And I would love, love, love to learn how to quilt. I would even like to learn a little more about sewing. And this is why I turn to Craftsy.

Craftsy is an online craft-teaching website.

Craftsy offers online classes – some free, some you pay for. It also has a patterns marketplace where independent designers can sell their patterns; a supplies shop with great deals on yarn, fabric, and class kits; and a projects section where members share pictures of their latest craft successes. With over two million members and counting, Craftsy has something for just about everyone, in categories ranging from quilting, sewing, knitting, painting, photography, cooking, and more.

Oh and Craftsy is having a flash sale today. The sale ends at Midnight tonight and during this sale, you can find really, really great deals on some of their classes. (I’m currently coveting their knitting classes. How fun would knitting be – especially this winter?)
