Lurker no more!!!

Hi everyone!

Well, as you can see, I am a lurker no longer. I really hate that I missed the potluck, but I was getting things together for my very first craft fair ever. I think I'm addicted, now. My primary products were bears that I have been making from recycled ahem VINTAGE felted sweaters. (There's a whole story behind that I'll have to share someday.) They're really cute, and look a little more like koalas than bears when I use ribbing on the bridge of the nose. I'll have to post pictures some day. In addition, I made scarves on the machine that turned out really, really nicely (and quickly, too!). In fact, there was one scarf I was reluctant to sell because I liked it so much. I'm going to knit another one ASAP. One lady even asked if I could make a ruana for her.

All in all, for a first timer and not having any idea of how to make my table look inviting, etc. I did pretty well and made almost $200.00 for the show. I also got lots of tips from other booth owners about marketing my table and making things look pretty and more "saleable."

I was planning to stop in on Saturday, but there's be snow forcasted for the weekend, so I think I better play it safe and try a later time. Hope everyone's doing fine!

Happy Holidays

Great night tonight. Flo was back from Maryland and Jesse stopped in. The table was full and there were several changes as one or two people left and others came. Enjoy listening to all the chatter and seeing projects change as you finish one and go on to another.
I have almost all the "obligation" knitting done. Have a sweater to put together and am working on Olivia's stocking.
Had a request for 2 stockings today by Christmas ...made no promises but lady was so glad to find someone to make them...so we'll see how it goes.
YOU ARE INVITED...Next Thursday the 13th is our Annual Carry In Holiday Dinner. Bring something to share and we will feast together. Always a good time and the opportunity to sample everyones cooking skills. See you there. Chief Knitwit
