Knitting for Fun & Profit,
By A Customer
This review is from: Knitting For Fun & Profit (Paperback)
Based on the poor reviews, I borrowed this book from the library to form my own opinion. I was familiar with co-author, Barbara Brabec but not Shirley MacNulty. I found that they provide a great deal of knowledge, advice and inspiration. I have now added this book to my "wish list" of future purchases!

Where's the profit?,
By "arana8" (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knitting For Fun & Profit (Paperback)
So many times I've been told I could sell my projects (most of which are original designs). But knitting is so time-consuming, I wondered how I could ever make a profit at it. This book does not have the answer. There is one inspiring example of a woman who does custom knits for Hollywood stars and prices her garments based on the hours that go into them. Then again, another example is of a woman who sells her handknitted baby blankets for [very little money for the effort] She must make a few cents an hour. What kind of profit is that? The author seems to assume that if you love to knit, you'll be happy making whatever money you can above the price of yarn. There are no details on how to get into selling designs, or opening a shop. Some info on craft shows and how to get started teaching. Includes a few free patterns you are allowed to make and sell.

not too exciting,
By Das Wohl (Eugene, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knitting For Fun & Profit (Paperback)
This book is full of fluff. For a beginner knitter, this is an awful awful book to start with (by the way, vogue knitting: the ultimate knitting book is excellent for all level knitters, especially for beginners...) Everything explained seems to only wandering upon surface; and sometimes i wondered if the authors forgot to finish what they tried to say. Also I hope they can actully organize their thoughts a bit more to write down lists; for instance, list different yarn weights from the lightest to the heavest instead of poping out whatever they can think of. And don't try to explain things in words when diagrams can show better...in other words, this book needs more drawings than fluffy wordy words.
