I really could use some extra cash these days - I mean, who couldn't? And while I don't particularly want to get a part-time job, my thought was to turn these hobbies of mine into something prosperous. Home-based parties are always fun, but people get bored with them...same story, different product. I'd like to see if I could run a "Knitting Party" business. My friends are always telling me they want to learn how to knit. How about instead of going to a class that will cost you $30-$40 at one of those chain retail stores, I charge you $10-$15 and come to your home. That way you can drink wine, eat snacks, and enjoy a nice evening in with your friends. I think it could work, I just need to find some people to get the ball rolling.
I posted a message on my facebook asking my friends if anyone would be interested in attending a workshop I put on at my own house. Then, maybe I can build up from there? I can also offer a fee-for-product service as well. I can pretty much make anything I have a pattern for. Everyone keeps telling me I should do an etsy shop, but I'm just not sure how it all works with taxes and such. Anyway, I'm open to suggestions about how I can turn my knitting and crocheting passion into a money-maker!!
