In addition, those very people making you monetize your hobby, won't be willing to pay the price needed to even earn minimum wage for the time you invest.
A reasonable scarf for example will take some (>8hours) hours to knit.
Just saying.
Exactly this, the people who were encouraging me to sell my Fairisle jumpers were the same people outraged when I said that I would be charging over $600 for them.
@BadgerBadger @AstridSawatzky @roygreenhilt my MIL insisted I could sell my fair isle yoked sweaters. "Just get a celebrity interested" 👀🙄 yeah, ok
I don't follow patterns for those, I design the motifs for each one. I have done knitting for my income working in a yarn store that also did commissions. I got paid $800 to make a fashion student's digital water painting into a sweater knit in cotton. And that was just my cut - did not include yarn or the percent that went to the store.
Normal people don't pay $1000+ for a sweater sized for a model.
