Knitting For Profit: The Creative Genius Of Niching

by Hannah Gilly

June 22, 2019

We come across genius zones in many parts of life.

Are you someone who loves running, but just can’t get into  yoga?

Do you always cook lasagne when you have friends over for dinner, maybe your cooking genius is a fried chicken, or vegetable curry?

By picking something that’s easy, you don’t have to worry about following recipes and making sure everything is ready at the same exact time. Simply because you’ve cooked the same things so often, it feels relaxed and effortless.

In knitting it’s very easy to be swallowed by the need to pick up every new pattern in the magazine. (as you’ve paid out for the magazine in the first place!)

These patterns are like recipes, you’ll see some of them can fly off your needles in an evening or two, so it’s all finished and ready when expected.
Some patterns will take longer, feel more frustrating, and some just won't be appealing.

Picking your zone of knitting genius can be an amazing help when you want to sell what you knit. Believe me when I say, you’ll feel like a permission slip has been handed to you.

You don’t have to try #allthethings to be a great knitter, or even a great seller of your knits. You have to be great at your knitting zone of genius, that’s what you’ll discover today.
