Okay, so... I tried searching for crochet and sewing supplies online, and... it turns out, materials are expensive. :/ So I guess that's part of why I hadn't thought much about making or selling stuff before. (although $36 worth of yarn to make one thing sounds like I must've done the math wrong, because that's a lot of balls of yarn, and why wouldn't one ball of yarn make one item? So it can't be that expensive.)

But would anyone be interested in buying something I would hypothetically make if I were to buy a bunch of yarn and/or fabric and/or a sewing machine?

Like... keyboard cushion with filling, sleeveless jacket/cloak thing (I just think that would be neat), scarf of some sort, curtain tiebacks, pencil holder, ...some random custom-made thing that you can't find at the store...? Maybe weird blankets and throws?

I... thought I would be able to think of more things than this.
