What else can you expect?

Many people who get a glimpse of either knitting or crocheting or both, find they become highly addicted to the hobbies and just can't get enough.  I totally understand, it's a very common thing to encounter.  

After you've mastered the basics, you may want to know just where your new hobby may take you.  If so, you're in luck because I wondered the same thing.

It's one thing to make stuff for yourself and your family, but after awhile, you might want to think bigger - Say a career or a way to monetize your hobby. 

I want to help you there too.  Even if all you want to do is create enough income to pay for your yarn stash or help cover the costs of your projects, there are many ways to do this and even turn your hobby into a full time income, so don't forget to sigh up for my newsletter.
