I'm thinking of knitting baby sweaters as a side line. I could never knit fast enough on my own, so I'm going to invest in a knitting machine, (the plastic version, no way I could afford the $1000 to $2000 ones. Maybe later), and do as much as I can on the machine and finish them off by hand. My plan is to try EBay, (not sure I would qualified for Etsy, with using the machine), perhaps the farmer's market and the fall festival in the next town next year. And oh yeah, the local flea markets. I'm going to use acrylic baby yarn to start out with. If I make any money at this, I will upgrade to wool and alpaca for a specialty line!
I have to clean out the master bedroom to do this in. Stay away cat hair! That won't be to hard. There's very little in there anyway. I can use my parent's dresser to store stuff for the sweaters. Then I have to drag one of the radio room tables in there. That will be a bit hard, but I'm going to bug Best Friend about getting her stuff out, yet again! So maybe there will be a pathway to drag it through!
I'm quite jazzed about this. I have read enough about the knitting machines that I don't think it will kill the desire to knit in me. They are similar, not identical.
