how long have you been knitting? and do you make stuff for yourself?
i have been knitting for over 40 yrs...am finally making a fishermans sweater
for my self...am retiring soon...going to learn weaving rug hooking and quilting
to supplement my income.
i have fibromyalgia...so these "tamer" activities will be good for me.
will be looking for sites to sell my stuff on...any sugestions?

I also was looking into selling some stuff. My mom said maybe some craft shows around town, I'm not to sure yet, so i have to look into it. I do some crouching stuff. Right now I'm almost done making a baby pillow for a friend of my moms who is having a baby boy at the end of the month. It would be fun to make some stuff and sell it to get a income coming in. I might start making some Christmas stuff now and keeping it and giving them as gifts. Also my family sells Christmas trees so i might just sell some items there as well. Enjoy
