16. I'm busily crocheting scarves to sell at

craft fairs this holiday season.

I use Lion's Brand Homespun, and one skein makes a six foot long scarf. I turn some of them into mobius scarves. I always get the yarn on sale or use a coupon for a discount, so I never pay more than $5.00 for the skein, and I sell them for $20.00. People love them. I'm considering someday trying to make enough to warrant getting a kiosk at a local mall, but that's several years down the road, if it even happens.
