[quote=Anonymous]I think with knitting, etc., there is some degree of need to “build up stock” of some sort before a lot of people will come for commissioned items.

We have a friend who knits/ crochets as well, but mostly hats and really great baby accessories. While she doesn’t have a business, she does try to make money to support a cause that she believes in.

She often gives us items for DD to wear, and because they re so unique, we often get asked about them, and then refer people to her website. She also donates items to other charity auctions, etc. With the idea of getting her “brand” out there. She attends crafters markets and has a small stock at a few artisian “general stores”. She also shares a table at one of the local farmer’s markets.

Part of the hard reality is that most people are not going to be willing to buy the type of item your daughter is hoping to commission, especially not at the cost she is hoping to recover. If she’s not buying beads and yarn when she sees them on sale, it’s going to be hard for her to compete with other online vendors. [/quote]
