I have been asked to participate as a knitter/crochetter in a Craft Sale at work. I’ve always sold dish cloths from my desk, but now I’m going to try to fill a table. Hrm. I have two questions… what to make/sell? And what do I sell them for?
Here’s my plan:
- Basic Face/Dish cloths that I was taught as a kid. How does $3 each sound? Pattern: This is pretty close to what I make. I have quite a few of these made.
- Tea Towel Toppers. $8 each? This is tough because you have to buy the towels first and put the toppers on. But I have a stash of Christmas towels that I can make up. I have no idea where the pattern in my brain came from, but this is kind of like it. I have a few of these done up, but not many.
- NEW idea, fingerless mittens. $25 (or maybe $20) per pair? I’ve been making them out of sock yarn (1 skein of Patons Kroy makes a pair) in a 2 K, 2 P pattern. I can probably get 10 pairs done by the Sale in early November - if I don’t do other knitty things. Here’s a photo of one I made (although this one has a thumb gusset – I’ve been making ones with just a straight line for the thumb hole.
- Baby Surprise Jackets – I have about 5 of them done. Can I sell them (does the copyright on the pattern prohibit it? I do own the pattern)? If I can sell them, how much should I sell them for??
- NEW idea, Fruit cozies. Like these. $3 each?
