I sell my creations at an art co-op in Janesville, WI. I also have some of my Up-Cycled sculptures on consignment at a store in IL. And I have an Etsy shop, http://www.lillybugboutique.etsy.com.

Why? I love to work with my hands and create. There are so many things I want to try and so many things I want to create. I find working with my hands to be very therapeutic and satisfying. I have a passion to create!!!! I have met some very nice customers selling through Etsy. I enjoy learning about my customer's stories when they share them with me. It's wonderful when something I make can make a positive impact in their life and/or help brighten their day.

I sell my knitted hats to those who sign up on facebook - the group is called "Sign up list: Hats by Kendra"
I sell these hats for $10 each (unless there is a charge to send it via mail - that gets added on)
I sell these hats to raise money for paying my way through college

While I do see people being successful selling various crafts, I personally don't want to sell my knitting. Or at least I won't commission anything. It would take the leisure out of it. People sometimes ask me if I can knit them a sweater, and I give them some high price that they would never pay.
