I’m still inspired by these women, whether it is knitting or crochet or both!

Kathy is right…. plus it's crochet, not knitting.

I loved your post and bookmarked it on Digg and some other sites. Craft artists need inspiring from time to time to keep on going. Personally, I don't think it detracts from the woman's success at all that she swung a licensing deal. Nothing wrong with multiple income streams from your craft business. Good marketing is not an "either or" way of thinking, it's "and, and, and". Thanks for your post!

Thanks for the clarification Kathy – I’m still impressed that she is making great money in the industry!

her 140,000 salary comes very largely from the 6-figure design deal she signed with Urban Outfitters, not from her etsy sales. That is not realistic for the average person who sells on etsy, and is a huge exception, not an example.
