You should open an Etsy account to sell some of this stuff. That's if you have time with all this stuff you're doing at the same time!

Never ever! Lets say this took me 160 hours (a wild guestimate) to make, multiply that with a minimum wage of 9€/h, add 24%tax and the material cost of 132€, and show me the people who would be willing to pay that. That’s also on a size S, make it XL and you can almost double the price. Furthermore, you can’t sell a knit that is designed by someone else, unless that person sells the rights to do so.
This is the thing people who don’t do hangcrafts don’t understand and always tells those who do to sell their stuff. I know people mean that as a compliment but you have no idea how snarky those same people often get if they would have to pay even 150€ for something like this. There is a reason why nobody sells handmade knits and instead the pattern selling industry is huge.
Ah. Makes so much sense. I had no idea about the knit rights. Wow.
Yeah, bad idea 😅
AMEN! I only make things to give to people who love and appreciate them. You NEVER get reimbursed for all the love and hard work that goes into a handmade item.
Exactly! Only the closest family and friends will get the handmade goodies, the rest can cry about it 😝 Luckily my mom is a great crafter of many different things and my sister is an artist so we can all gift each other really nice hamdmade pieces.
