Is Knitting Socks a Good Business Goal?
The pros and cons of knitting socks
Knitters who are afraid of knitting socks will tell you that there's only one reason why they don't ... "it looks so hard!" But knitters who have been knitting socks for a long time will tell you that that's absolutely NOT true. Socks are EASY once you get 'the hang of it' -- which ISN'T so hard if you're already a good basic knitter.
KNITTING SOCKS FOR PROFIT
On the other hand, there are tons of great reasons FOR knitting socks:
1. Once you start knitting socks, you'll find that they are the perfect 'take-along knitting project. Because they are small, they'll fit in your bag and you'll be knitting socks wherever you go!
2. Socks make a great gift for friends and family - everyone loves hand knit socks. That means that knitting socks for other people's friends and family is probably a good idea!
3. Hand knit socks are SO comfortable. Once you've worn a pair or two, you'll never want to go back to 'store-bought' socks again. Again, that means there's a market 'out there' of other folks who will feel the same way if you decide to start knitting socks to sell. :-)
4. There are literally hundreds of variations of socks - by changing the color, the pattern or the type of yarn, you need never knit the same socks twice. That means you're knitting socks that are completely unique -- another marketing plus.
5. Knitting socks really is quick and easy once you've learned the basics. Master the technique, and you'll find that knitting socks is a breeze - which makes them a profitable option for a professional knitter.
