My current hobby is crochet and knitting. It can be quite cheap to get started. A good set of hooks of various sizes runs about $20. A good set of interchangeable needles, again of various sizes, runs between $50 and $150, depending on quality.
Yarn is where things can get expensive. Basic acrylic yarn is super cheap at $2-$5 per skein (chunk of yarn). Most good size projects take 1-15 skeins of yarn. Good quality wool yarns run $7-$20. There are also other yarns made out of alpaca, angora, cashmere which start at a price of $25. Sock yarn is thinner and runs towards $20 which is enough for two socks. I could easy spend $500 on enough yarn to last me 10 years. Many yarnies could spend $2000 in a weekend.
Patterns run anywhere from free to $15.00. I usually get my patterns from the internet or from library books. I also make up a lot of my own patterns.
