You should listen to your brother. These things would fly off the shelves for $20 a pop... no problem!
You really need to invest in one of those fancy smansy machine knitters you talked about in your reply to my last comment. The thing will pay for itself in no time! You could even move to a bigger house away from the freaky neighbors.
It would be just like the whole Mrs. Fields cookie story... except of course with you it would be monsters... instead of cookies.
I would need a sock knitting machine and those go for $2,000 to $3,000 dollars. - All are refurbished from the second world war era. - None newly made.
All neighbors are crazy. No matter what.
Thanks Larry!
Go right ahead.
I was thinking of animating his waving tentacle arms. - The flip book style of one picture at a time blended together. - That would be a good avatar. But... I should really knit another monster first.
And more socks and mittens. Christmas is only nine months away and my knitting time will be getting slim now that gardening season is almost here.
I'll steal your flip book too.
ShitSpace won't let me upload ANYTHING to my pictures section. Otherwise, I'd be falsley representing myself as a knitted sea monster right now.
Thank you.
I end up giving away socks as soon as they are knitted. Unfortunately I have a very average sized foot so most of my female friends can fit the socks I custom make for myself. I only have five pairs to wear, leaving me with two days where I have to wear uncomfortable store bought socks.
I will have to keep better knitting notes with my next monster. I hope that doesn't ruin the process.
Right now, since I am feeling lousy (just paid the bills) I will accept anything to do with at least okay yarn. Meaning no acrylic cheap-o stuff.
I will accept gift cards and discount cards to yarn stores though.
most awesome knitted thing i have ever seen! you know, when you do sell these - you could stuff each monster into a sock as packaging. then, when your customers decide they need a second sock to have one pair, they'll have to buy a second monster as well - double your money in no time!
you could also knit sea-monster sweaters with bendy arms in kids sizes (or animal sizes!) with matching hats - for halloween costumes!
Oh lady - you're going to be RICH!
Aw! And I was only thinking of knitting a sweater for the sea monster. And maybe some shorts and geenie like socks (curled toes) and a hat.
What is it with me and this "not thinking big" thing I have?
I will make my halloween mask like the sea monster face.- It would be a mush mouth type of hat design - with extra.
