Earn Money Knitting (Part II)
I was surfing the interweb and came across something new:
Selling hand-made items can be a tricky business. The market goes up and down, as well as the amount of competition. Figuring out how much to charge for your knitting can be a great guessing game that will leave you with nothing but headaches. Consider pricing carefully before you get started for best results.
First, think about the market
- Do you have something unique that no one else is doing or are many people making similar products?
- How well do hand-made items sell in your area?
- Do you have access to a boutique that will help you sell your goods or are you totally on your own?

EWV 0320-2009 - Horseshoe Sweater
Once again, this knit has no home yet. But it's something to knit, and use up some stash. It's basically the same sweater as EWV 0227-2009 and EWV 0108-2009, but with a horseshoe cable thrown in there. 
Maybe I should stockpile these homeless knits and saunter on down to a craft fair or something? Who knows, by the time the Sugarloaf comes around next year - I may have enough to get a booth... or not.

Yarn Overcomers: Knitting Lessons for Recession Survivors!
From the Lionbrand Notebook, I learned about YO! (Yarn Overcomers).
-Gene McCreary
I have mixed feelings about this. Mainly, I think it's a wonderful idea and more power to Gene and other recession survivors. But the darker side of me cooks up a little jealousy because knitting doesn't hold the same relaxation for me as it once did. I'm waiting for that to change.

Vera - (almost) 1 Year Later
Vera is now a year old!!!
While she hasn't been with me for a year yet (I picked her on June 26, 2008), she is a year old. And here's one of her very first pictures:
Here she is now ... all growned up and poised for her Sunday afternoon walk:

And check out my mother's creativity; she bought this for me ... from Ocelot and Vera ;) 
Here Ocelot relaxing after a hard day of sleeping :)
