My town has a farmer's market during the summer starting May 24 weekend and seeing as I'm too crippled up to work, I thought I'd try selling some crochet. I can't figure out what might sell during the summer months and coming up blank. This is a main route to the many lakes to the north and a lot of summer travel goes right by.....can anybody think of something that would go over for this kind of trade?

crochet over flip flops tote bags for beach wear glass or mug cozies

Since it is a farmers market, you might do some pot holders, wash rags, and some popsicle cozies.

I think tote bags, the mesh-type. Use cotton thread/yarn, something washable.

Nice mesh tote bags. Hang them all around your booth. Put a couple of brightly colored fruits and/or veggies in a few to catch their eye and let them know what they are for.

Hair scrunchies are a good idea too: Get some elastic hair bands. Make a loop in your yarn and put the loop through the band. Chain 15, sc around band, ch 15. Continue until band is covered in sc. Then do just a few more chain loops and sc. Depending on the thickness of your yarn you can increase or decrease the number of chains in the loops. 15 chains is what I use for an H hook. Great stash buster! I have no problem selling these for $5 each.
