Lovin’ It Loops: Anastasia Snyder
11-year-old Snyder started knitting two years ago. A year into her hobby she decided to turn it into a money-making enterprise.
According to Forbes, she now sells 12 items a month, including knit purses ($10), cellphone socks ($6) and coin pouches ($4). She pays $3 per bundle of yarn, enough for 12 socks, which each take three or four hours to make.
I get to feel more grown up because I have a business,” says Anastasia. “Sometimes it’s a lot of work, but usually I do my knitting while I’m watching TV or listening to a book or on a car ride.”

That’s one switched on kid! I wish I’d had that entrepeneurial streak at her age.

It’s funny to see that she has the same motivational problems we all face when turning a hoddy into a business – it starts to feel a lot like work!
I wish I could do my work sat in front of the TV though, instead of in front of a monitor.

Ther’s nothing wrong with sitting in front of a computer monitor as long as you are making money while doing it, not playing games.
