I’ve mentioned her before in previous posts, but one of my very good friends who goes by the shop name of KnitKnit on Etsy was interviewed for an AOL Personal Finance Video which you can read about on Walletpop.com. Lots of crafty people have been using Esty to sell their hand-made goods, and I’ve been considering using it to sell prints as lots of others have done. If you’re on Etsy, this article is definitely worth checking out. There was another article on the NYT site not too long ago about how much work it takes to turn your hobby into a full-time job and they give you the inside scoop on one of Etsy’s top sellers, Yokoo Gibran. Also a very interesting read, and liberating to know that you really can do what you love and make a living off of it. Not without some sweat and tears though.

I know it’s too late to shop for Christmas—although I hear the mall is crawling with last-minute shoppers—there’s always Valentines day and birthdays to get something fun and fluffy from KnitKnit’s shop! Gauranteed to warm a girls’ heart.

This one is my favorite from her shop:
