Etsy

Yesterday I spend most of the day setting up an Etsy Store. I have four things that I knit currently for sale and its a good if not tired feeling. One would not think that it is that difficult to set up an account to sell things. Well I never thought it would be that hard. But it took me most of yesterday to get the listings all set. Pictures of each item, descriptions, and tags so people can search for and find my items. Of course I was helped by the fact that the batteries in my camera died half way through the process. 

The thing that I found most helpful was figuring out the budget for everything before I actually set up the account. Money is the reason that I am putting this whole thing together. So I half to make sure that the money is not greedy or way more then the piece is worth, but it still has to cover my costs and my time making each piece. Because lets face there is another reason that I set up a shop. I want to knit more. Knitting is a great way to be both creative and to relax. 

Also I love making beautiful things. I love the way that different yarns feel. I like getting a project done and knowing its finished. Its just a great feeling. So is starting the next project (already a couple hours into a fun bright red scarf). Anyone have any suggestions for things I can knit for my shop or even suggestions on how to make my shop better?
