My new crafting project is a pair of ragg socks that I’m knitting from leftover yarn. I got a tons of leftover yarn laying around so this is a great way of using your resources instead of throwing them away.
It’s a bit complicated because you have to change yarn all the time, but no two socks will look the same.
These socks will probably be listed on eBay or Etsy. Not sure how easy it is to sell on Etsy as I’ve never tried that site before. On eBay I usually get my things sold, but the price is usually very low compared to all the hours I have used on the knitting projects. When you combine that with the high fees from eBay and Paypal and the low value on the US dollar, it doesn’t seem worth it.
Would love to hear your opinion on selling crafted items.

Wow! Your knitting is better than mine. Took me 3 years with the simplest knitting & yet to complete! You’re great!

I don’t need my socks to match…they just need to be comfy to wear.

Entrecard brought me here, but I am so happy to see your site. Wonderful work! I have crocheted many things, but I have never learned to knit. I admire you.

Hi!
I just found your blog, but I’m also somewhat new to blogging so I’m learning how all this stuff works. I just started knitting and I love it!! I can’t wait to make a pair of socks. Also I sew and I “try” to sell my things on Etsy. Etsy is a great place to sell because the fees are so low. But I haven’t done as well there as I would like. Give it a try though. Many many people do quite well with it.
