Increasing crafting?

[Lestrad]

Got a fair number of buildings up (despite only having the starting dude), but seem to have hit a roadblock as I can't figure out how to increase crafting so I can start making the various ropes, etc to start gearing up to take on bandits/warm clothing for winter.

Fighting with melee weapons.
Agility is fighting with Bows.
All Combat oriented skills are Combat based.
All Crafting oriented skills are Crafting based.

Str and Agi lvl very slowly, but they do level based on weapons used.

What's even better, is setting up near a lake, and when winter comes rolling in, watch how beautiful the water and area around it get.

Each bench has separate points to interact with, for you or your villagers.
IF you're level 2, you can in fact craft linen. Just pay attention to the cost
Also keep in mind, materials have to be on you, if your hand crafting. Not inside the bench, as that's for the villagers and not you.

what i do is setup 3 logging camps, setup a trapper, get the log cut them into sticks then make the sticks into traps. the process of making the sticks and making the traps gives crafting XP. its fairly fast and easy.
