Despite today’s turbulent economy, hobby stores are doing so well, they are raising their profit forecasts. Fred Katayama reports.

I started knitting again. I had been knitting a little bit. But now I’m knitting big blankets, rather than scarves and hats. Blankets are comforting and they’re warm.

Crafts sales took off before America’s economy hits the breaks. But they’ve continued to grow. The nesting phenomenon, post 9/11, has helped drive more Americans to hobby stores. Add that to publicity, from home and garden television, as well as Martha before her crafty stock sale. The hobby industry sales rose more than 16% over the last 12 months to 27 billion dollars. With that, Rodney Dangerfield of retail finally grabbed the respect of Wall Street. In the last 12 months, the stocks of Jo-Ann’s stores quintupled, A.C. Moore arts and crafts more than tripled and Michaels stores doubled. They vastly outstripped the others in the retailing industry.
