Just... It could be a beanie baby type fad and you'd be stupid rich.

Are they all from patterns, or do you create them from scratch? Can you do a little cock? Rooster, that is.

Sex is kind of like that for me, I'd love it if it was free, but I can't afford it.

No. No. NO PICS!

They're all from patterns. I wouldn't get stupid rich, they take an average of a couple of hours each, so I'd have to be paid, say, $40 per piece? That's just not going to happen, is it. Or outsource the labour. The only way to make money out of this is to publish a book of patterns, which Anna Hrachovec has done, and I bought it.

Cock is tricky. Getting sufficient identifiers in at such a small scale isn't easy. The less you have to work with, the more each element matters. I reckon it's far easier to write a 60,000 words novel than a 32 word children's book, and the same thing applies here.

Bruce, I don't take this sort of project around with me: it's too fiddly, requires a certain amount of attention and the bits would get lost. I do have travel knitting, usually a pair of socks, which I take most places. For the socks I use a set of five wooden needles which are about five inches long and less than 1/8 inch or so in diameter. I have not yet had any trouble knitting at airports or on planes (sometimes I'm asked to put it away during take-off or landing). If asked I'd take the needles out of the project and submit them for confiscation without argument, even though I reckon they're less dangerous then a fine-point biro. After all, security is only doing their job, and this sort of thing seems to be (anecdotally) at the discretion of the security personnel to a certain extent.

OK, I can see that would be a pain, as well as keeping track of where you are with minimum landmarks in a tiny piece

I think you're right it seems half of them are playing it by ear. You're too young and hot to pull off the sweet little old grandma tending her knitting, so your kind of at their mercy.
