I tried this for stash money. I couldn't make enough cash to make it
worth my time.

Stitchers balk at the idea of paying someone else a reasonable hourly
rate to finish one of their projects. Even though we are well aware of
how much work/time will be entailed in finishing a UFO, we still can't
help but think "Why should I pay someone else that much money when I
can do it myself for free?"

The few successful jobs I had were finishing UFO's for the survivors of
a stitcher. They wanted their loved one's last project to be finished
and were willing to pay me decently for it. Luckily for us stitchers
are not passing on at rates that would make that portion of the
business profitable!

Sally, I wish you luck, but my experience with such a business proved
disappointing.

You`re right there, Caryn. If you want to make a little money working at
home - knitting is a MUCH better bet. Particularly if you are used by a
wool-shop. There`s very little in cross stitch.

I did quite well knitting Aran sweaters when my kids were young! I think
that the fastest I managed was knitting three in three weeks - but in that
case the patterns were identical, so they became almost automatic! I love
the variety you get in knitting Aran.
