Any Knitters or crocheters on BAF?
Yess, I love your determination to learn. Those hats are so pretty. I bet you'll make some decent bucks on a side hustle. Let me know when you get started. I have a few AKAs and Alphas in the family who would appreciate the gear.
Knitting does relax me too. I love it. I agree that it is a gift from God. At one point knitting kept me from losing my mind. However, like you, I have arthritis in almost every joint (knee replacements x2). Lately my index fingers are hurting after I knit. II'm trying to push through --- don't want to give it up.

Good luck on your hat hussle -- all things are possible. I started making jewlery several years ago and I never meant for it to turn into a business, but it did! I usually have to turn down requests because of my limited time.

I KNOW that's right. I recently met a lady who makes jewelry and she said the same thing. She's getting ready to retire and said that she will go into business full time then.
As a non-traditional college student living out of state it was either work or starve for me. I didn't like working and going to school so I decided to make up a lot of those tornado head thingies when they were popular. It took all of 5 minutes to make one and I could slam out 40 of them per skein of yarn. A skein cost $2.00 and I sold each tornado thang for $3.00. I was profiting $120.00 per skein of yarn.
Gurrrrl I whipped out school colors, sorority colors and even fraternity colors for the sisters of the fraternities. I bought little baggie sandwich bags to wrap them in and at homecoming walked the parade route like a fat float(). I cleaned up.
Between that and being a student jitney on weekends I was able to concentrate on just school and didn't have to work. Since my Neice is in college and about to pledge AKA I plan to load her up with hats to sale for me.
