As an introduction maybe I will give you a little about me:
Knitting has been a hobby of mine since I was a young girl. My grandma was very old fashioned and decided to teach my sisters and I everything she knew about knitting. I must admit that during high school I felt to be "too cool" to knit, but I eventually took up the lost art again when in college (thanks to Agnes and the Knitting Club!!)
While I have tried my hand at knitting all sorts of articles of clothing and outerwear (I have yet to try knitting a sweater, too much work) such as scarves, hats, socks, gloves, and baby booties the only article I have seemed to have perfected is the knitted hat. I must admit that I have probably 10 to 15 completed hats in various colors and sizes in my many storage boxes of belongings.
Only recently, with my monetary drought brought on by the fact that I now pay rent (who knew living at home could be so incredibly cheap!?), have I decided to dig up these lost wonders and take advantage of the time and money I spent on them! Some I have saved to give as presents (expect a knitted hat from me at Christmas...) and others I have selected to be my guinea pigs to sell online.
Here is my first such experiment: I shall call it Striped Hat with Flowers!
Now my request of you, my patient readers. Would it possible to sell such an article? Right now my only suggestion has been to sell these via Etsy but I don't want to rush into anything and would like some feedback from the general publish first. Also, how do I price something like that? Making it is fairly simple for me, and the most expensive part is usually the yarn (I think this particular cashmere blend was about $10 a skein).
Your comments and suggestions are welcome! Please help me out here, I am swimming in new waters...

Where did you get the creepy mannequin's head?!
ReplyDeleteYou mean it doesn't look professional? It is in storage at work...I needed a head (other than my own) to display my hat! You know you like it...
ReplyDeleteI at least $10 (for labor) + skein price = completely affordable and GORGEOUS hat! God knows your labor is worth more than $10, but I think a $20 beanie is about what people would be willing to pay. LOVE YOU! xoxx, a
