Useless for our purposes: I was once fooling around with my tatting shuttle and created a nifty-looking edging. I didn't want to make yards of it, though, and what can you do with two inches of edging?
A little light bulb appeared over my head, I wrote up the pattern, sent pattern and sample to Workbasket, and they actually paid me for it! I was so pleased that I sat down to create more edgings -- but the third one came back with a note that they were stocked up with tatted edgings for the foreseeable. Thus ended my career as a pattern designer. Even back then, Workbasket was the only magazine that printed tatting patterns, and tatting occupied not more than one of their tiny pages per issue.
Rather a pity that there is no longer any market for a magazine like Workbasket.
