Knitted or crocheted things? Blankets, mittens/gloves, scarves and the like... I want to start creating/selling things if anyone has suggestions on how to go about please let me know!

Personally i have no interest, My wife however makes a small fortune doing baby clothes, bonnets , mitts yada yada
if your pretty good and have a michaels close you can possibly go give newbies lessons there and earn a little money and get Huge discounts on your yarn and stuff.

sweet we don't have one nearby here but when the family moves up to Alaska we will. That is a good suggestion... about the lessons at Michaels.
How did you wife get started selling the little knitted things? Did she start out just for friends and word of mouth? That is something i want to do as well.

One of my relatives used to make quilts. She sold them to family members and friends of family members, and gave a lot away as gifts. Her marketing was mostly by word of mouth and people seeing her quilts in other people's homes.

i was told about this website store thingie which is basically like a crafts fair online that never ends. I also heard that you can make good cash selling your wares there. BUT for the life of me i can't remember what the site was called lol so i am going to be looking into that when i have a good stash of stuff.

I am no crafter unless building computers and websites is a craft but I would try selling your services on Ebay or Kijiji (www.kijiji.com). I plan on trying to sell my webdesign services on EBay (once I get my business registered and once my Graphic Designer is actually done his College Course that he decided to take this year). I sold a laptop on Ebay, though I'd only get $50 for it as the monitor was not working on it and it was really old but I ended up getting almost $150 for it. It was a sweat deal.
