A 'new' Etsy .....

I have just seen a link from Simply Knitting Magazine about a new site called Folksy which is based in the UK for buying and selling all things handmade.

It is still in the beta stage which means that it is still under development, but it looks like it could be promising.

I'm going to keep an eye on it to see how it develops as a site and then who knows????

Found a great Etsy shop!

For those of you that are interested in knitting toys and their clothes, i have found a great shop on Etsy called Fuzzy Mitten and the woman who runs it designs and sells the patterns for making toys. What is even better is that she doesn't mind if you want to sell the toys you make, once you have the pattern it is up to you what you do with them. As long as you don't call it a 'Fuzzy Mitten bear' for example in the description (as Fuzzy Mitten is a trademark) she really doesn't mind! She would quite like it if it mentions you have made it from an original Fuzzt Mitten™ pattern.

That was great for me as I have been trying to design my own toys to sell but am not having much luck. i find it easier to adapt patterns for clothes etc. rather than designing my own toys. You should see my attempt at a rabbit - not what I hoped for, but leah liked it nonetheless!!

So I may try to get something sold in Etsy, just watch this spac

Finally got an etsy account

Today i finally went ahead and got myself an etsy account as there are so many nice handmade things to buy. if you haven't seen it check out the website http://www.etsy.com/ for lovely handmade items. I bought myself some knitting patterns which are being e-mailed so no postage costs either.

If anyone has an etsy shop could you leave the address in the comments section so I can have a look at what you are selling - or also if you buy things from a regular seller then please let me know :o)
