Well, fun things to make are bracelts. You can go to http://www.makingfriends.com/friendship.htm and then sell them on ebay or to your friends.
like previous poster suggested, bracelets & other accessories are a good craft to make & sell.
you could also try scraggy rugs, braided mats [use bunches of yarn, not single strands], etc. To increase quantity, make them small & in attractive/unusual shapes. make them for the dressing table, coasters, tablemats, coffee table, etc.
just take long strands of yarn in whatever color(s) you wish. group them into 3 & braid them. coil the braid along itself & use tiny stitches on the wrong side to get the desired shape & hold it in place.
for scraggy mats, take a long string. take bunches of yarn & knot these all along the string. let the knots remain on the underside. cut the looped ends on the top to get an even but scraggy surface.
use beads & knots to make “curtains”, bracelets, etc.
you could try macrame – this will give you plenty of stuff to make quickly. eg ipod & mobile covers, purses or handbags, totes, cushion covers, book covers, etc. Try it with different yarns for diff articles.
you can even use the search engines to get sites & ideas…
ADDITION : make pompons. convert these into dolls, tree ornaments, car danglers, bunnies, hedgehogs, etc.
you can also use these on flip-flops. wind yarn along the straps of the slippers & attach one or more pompons.
hope these help
all the best in your endeavor
