The technique can be applied to absolutely any sock pattern, but Morgan-Oakes provides 15 original sock designs for men, women, children, and babies.

Handmade is hip, creativity sells, and crafters can take advantage of marketing opportunities that didn’t exist a few years ago. For crafters who are more confident running a sewing machine than setting up a website, Chapin makes sense of the global marketplace for handmade items. Determine cost of goods and set retail prices; enter the world of craft fairs or rely on online sales — every consideration is covered in this must-have guide for motivated artisans.

Applying her trademark “you-can-do-it” coaching style to the nuts and bolts of business planning, Kari Chapin covers all of the issues involved in turning a creative hobby into a successful business — from mapping out a business plan to expanding production and distribution, finding funding, and addressing legal matters. And Chapin has invited a cadre of other business-savvy creatives to share their advice on how to achieve the holy grail of a successful business: profitability.
