Public Ideas — I hand-knit chunky blankets. Who could I make something with?

newborn photographers use chunky blankets as props, might be worth messaging a few in your area

How about some “knit and wine” evenings? People come over, you show them the basics of knitting with chunky yarn (or they just work on something simple), with wine, snacks, and a bit of music. More of a relaxed night than a class. You could start with friends or a few moms from the neighborhood and see how it goes.

Smaller chunky blankets for dogs/cats? Quicker to knit and pet owners love having something soft and special for their animals.

An interior stylist could commission a few samples matched to room palettes, then refer clients for made-to-order pieces. They bring colour briefs and buyers; you avoid making large amounts of speculative stock. A clear yarn-care card would also help clients understand how to look after the finished blanket.
