Exactly.  If you want to level your crafting look for deals on bulk crafting supplies.  Then sell what you have crafted and repeat.  But it does take time.  BTW all 3 of my professions are maxed and I am also lvl 10 House attacker.

Only one way to get your level up - you must craft something. No matter what. The very easy way is to use bent swords for scrap metal, old boots for rough clothes and crooked sticks for basic wood. It takes time ofc but it works, made my armorsmith to lvl 15 mostly this way. Damn thousands of them scrap, clothes and woods...
More xp you get when craft something from higher levels and sell it. There are items you lose lots of money on (so don't craft them) but there are some you make some profit with. Even if it's small profits, it's still much better than losing money.

Several players I know of also let friends craft large amounts of materials for when they make house crafted gear.  That can net people a few levels easily.
