We're in business.
This really is a great story. If you please (or don't believe me), read on.
It all began a few months ago....you know, when I started making designs. I found the site Ravelry, a knitting and crocheting online pattern database, where I could post my own patterns. My imagination at that point, as is expected of a silly whipper-snapper knitter like myself, took off. I saw myself in the future known as some great designer of knitted things. My line of Nicole Elizabeth Designs was a favorite among many. Lovely daydreams.
In excitement, I talked to my dad about it. He believed I might have to make a business in order to go about selling patterns. It kind of got complicated after that.
Then yester-evening, he and I did some in-depth research on the whole matter. We looked at the state's website, then the Ravelry website, and then here and then there and then here again. We got absolutely nowhere. We couldn't figure out if I had to collect sales tax on all the patterns I sell. (However, on a side note, if ever you want to shoe-shine, the state has specified that you can without having to collect sales tax! Just some trivia.)
Finally, it was determined that I would have to call the state and ask. Heh. Yippee. If you know me, you know how I feel about this, ahem, convenient and useful invention. Needless to say, my dad would not call for me.
I called today. I called and got a computer. I stopped the call and yelled for my dad's assistance. I went back to my room and sat down to call again. I called again. I pressed innumerable numbers until I got where I wanted to be. Then, I was put on hold.
A while later, someone answered. And....he couldn't hear me. It was at this point that I realized I must have put my phone on mute. I turned my speaker on again, and then I asked my question. He, thankfully, was a very kind and helpful human being, and he answered it not only very well, but in my favor!
Here's the good news: I don't have to collect sales tax!
Ah....accumulating revenue. I now have patterns to sell through Ravelry. And no, you do not need a Ravelry account to purchase them, just look at my design page. Ta-da!
This has been a turning point in my life, I dare say. I love designing, and this is the beginning of a dream come true! Maybe I can actually do something with my passion! I mean, I have already made $4.00!!!
Just kidding (not about the $4.00).....almost.
