I started contracting after about 3 years of perm work. And have been contracting since then. So you are probably ready.

Contracting is mostly about delivering business value. Solving business problems is what you get hired as a contractor for, tech is usually not that important as most companies that hire contractors don't have a good understanding of tech anyways. So they'll be happy to let you recommend the technical solution that solves their business problem.
