-> BZ> works just before Valentine's and they sold fairly quickly.
-> Selling BZ> bookmarks gives me enough crochet money to buy more
-> thread at least BZ> and pay for postage to send things off.
->
-> Sell them? I never thought of doing that actually.
That was just about my reaction to my husband when he suggested it!  :)
But he took them into work and they've done fairly well.
-> I have been told by several they could sell all the doily's I can
-> make, but haven't found a 'quick' pattern. They all take alot more
-> time than what they would be worth to make.
I've sold one doily to a lady that works with my husband, she's ordered
another and another lady requested one as well.  They do take more time
that what I'm getting for them but then I look at it this way too.....I
would be sitting there crocheting anyway so why not reimburse myself for
the cost of materials and making a few extra $$ in the bargain.
-> I do have a Annies Attic pattern for High Top Tennies that are realy
-> quick and easy to make and have been told they could sell for $6-$8
-> !! With only about 1.5 hours to make a pair I could do those!!
You won't lose anything by making a pair or two and seeing if anyone
wants to buy them.  If they don't sell you can always use them as gifts
or something.
Recently I bought the plastic easter eggs that you can fill with little
candies, etc, and I'm using patterns in a Crochet Fantasy magazine from
last Spring to crochet covers for them.  I make them in two different
sizes from four different patterns and they are turning out pretty.
I've already got someone from husband's work interested in them sight
unseen.
-> cellophane wrapping and priced at $00.65 ! for 600 yards! Several
-> cones of that in the box! I keep a look out for things like that at
-> the yard sales and estate sales we go to in the summer up here.
That's how you can increase the profit margin if you do sell stuff...get
the materials as cheaply as you can.
-> I was going to modify the  butterfly one to make 'Shamrocks' in
-> green for St.Paddy's day.
That's a good idea!  That pattern would probably lend itself to Shamrock
translation without too much difficulty.  Hope it works!!
