How to make a $1 million dollars a year with knitting

Warning. This is not a get rich quick scheme. There is a lot of hard work involved and you may need to quit your day job (if you have any). Also, you will need lots and lots yarn.

But it can be done!

The 2nd best store on Etsy is called ThreeBirdNest and the lady behind it is ALICIA SHAFFER.

She reportedly makes $80,000 a month selling handmade legwarmers, scarves and headbands on Etsy! And she spills the way she does it in a far reaching interview with FastCompany here. Her advice is very good, if you are thinking about, or have ever thought about doing something with your knitting skills. Or if you have ever thought about selling on Etsy. All advice is good.

If you’re putting together Christmas sewing projects, this free Poinsettia embroidery design from Ann The Gran is a really handy one to save. It’s a machine embroidery design from Contributor, sized at 3.64″ x 3.67″, with 14,949 stitches, and it fits a 4″ x 4″ hoop. It’s also offered in a wide range of formats including ART, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PCS, PEC, PES, SEW, VIP, and XXX.

What I like about this one is that it feels classic and easy to use. A poinsettia always works at Christmas, and because this design is fairly compact, it would be lovely on napkins, tea towels, gift bags, table runners, or even the corner of a festive cushion. It has enough detail to look pretty, but it’s still small enough to be practical. That last bit is my take based on the listed size and the preview image on the page.

It’s one of those good stash-building freebies. Not huge, not fussy, and very easy to picture on all sorts of holiday projects. If you like collecting free Christmas embroidery designs, this one is definitely worth downloading. Ann The Gran also tags it with keywords like Xmas, Flower, and Floral embroidery designs, which fits the style nicely.
