@crocobaura Really? Or, do you mean Self-employed? Freelancer in Sims 4 refers to working with a freelance agency. You have a choice of up to six agencies, none of which use knitting skills. As for Self-employed, you register with the ministry of labor on your phone and call yourself a Knitter. I've done that without problems the last time I was playing a knitter, but I have noticed the system glitch in the past. @DeadFishy , if you've tried to register as a self-employed knitter and it didn't work, just try again. I think something specific triggers the glitch because I've never known it to be a problem across the board.
-No, my almost-elderly mother, I don't think it's a good time for you to try for a baby.
-Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
-No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.

Yes, the self employment option with the ministry of labour, not the career option. You can register as anything you want.
The registration won't add directly to the "knitting career", but by register your sim will no longer be seen as unemployed, and will no longer be used for random jobs like bar tending etc. The custom career description can be a great way to keep track on your sim's vision or career goals etc.
I really like to use the self-employed option for either Stay at Home Parents or for business owners who don't have another job, or for some of my occults who don't necessarily want a traditional job. That way I don't have to see Vlad taking complaints at the police station, or Mortimer Goth working as a spa attendant when he should be tending his bookstore, or my introverted stay at home dad who has a couple of toddlers and loves to knit working as a bouncer at the Del Sol Valley lounge.
Does anyone know how to sell knitted clothes and objects BESIDES on plopsy? I've tried to drag knitted stuff to the bottom "Sell" part of inventory when you click on something in the inventory, but that doesn't seem to work, whatever it is just bounces right back to it's place in the sim's inventory again?
It should be possible to sell the objects through a shop business or the sale table. For the clothes, I think you need to add them to wardrobe first and then you can place them on a manniquin to sell in a shop.
Why am I not seeing self employed in the job option? Also can you sell canning goods? Not sure what purpose they serve. Are they just a snack?
Yes, you can sell canned stuff, I think from your inventory directly, or from the sales table. Not sure if they can be sold on plopsy. I think their value will increase based on quality of both crops and your stove/cooking/handiness.
Canned goods are either small meals or ingredients in regular receipts. For example, you can can mushrooms and use them as meat substitute. Some produce is smart to can in order to prevent them from going spoiled, and they make for great decor on a kitchen/pantry shelf. They are good to bring if hiking. Aaand - if you live in Henford-on-Bagley, they are good as neighbor gifts (thee is a special local tradition there).
Some of my sims run small canning businesses. One specialized on tomato sauce, another on Mayonaisse.

Oh interesting! Thank you
Large crops all need canning to preserve freshness. The bigger the produce, the more cans you make from 1 of them. Regular plant produce, and small crops produce 3 cans and it goes up in multiples from there.
Canning produce can increase ingredient quality, as the canned food is often Excellent, even from Normal produce, as long as your mood is good when canning. This in turn produces better quality meals.
Canning also makes produce go further and last longer. So if you have 1 Mushroom, and make Mushroom Conserves, you now have 3 Mushrooms for recipe purposes. Making Meat substitute and veggie alternatives is also much cheaper than buying/raising meat.
If you are cooking to raise your Cooking skill, then Canning is good practice, as you can reuse the canned things later and don't have to fill the fridge.
They are also a non-perishable food source if living off the grid, homeless gameplay or camping/exploring the jungle.

@DeadFishy the self-emloyed shouldn't be under "find a job". I believe there's a separate option to "register with ministry of labor."
