(other than the usual omg how? Teach me teach me!, obviously)

So! I was wondering how many of you knitters/crocheters actually sell your work, and how you go about this, which websites you sell through (if you sell online), how you price your items, etc.

Any and all comments are much appreciated, and thank you for the input :)

I sell my stuff to friends and family and there is currently a wait-list for when my stuff will be posted on Etsy, which is where I would like to open up shop in the future.
Pricing is the all-time biggest conundrum because it’s so subjective. I try to charge (sum of materials, a modest hourly wage for how long it took me to make the item, and then a little profit) This is tricky tho because it can quickly get pricy, but you have to imagine how much someone would have to pay you to make knitting that item worth it.
That’s been my selling experience. Happy Knitting! xx Justine

My Aussie Dano knitting up a storm. This was his first knitting experience, from learning to cast on to finishing his first project - an iPod case. Happy Knitting! xx Justine
