Joining with Ginny of Small Things for this week's yarn along.
The past couple of weeks I have been knitting up some tiny things: cowls, arm warmers, and a wee gnome hate. I was in a craft fair at Finn's school this past Monday and Tuesday (and, well, let's not talk about how it went, as I only sold 4 things... but, seeing as it was my first craft fair, I think I did learn a lot). Anyways, I figured the knits that didn't get sold (which is all of them!) could become easy holiday presents or more likely, a donation for others in need this holiday season. Hmmm, or maybe I will even have a giveaway on here, so check back soon!
The cold weather we have been having here in Oregon has given me the knitting bug. I think doing a lot of small projects also helps, as I feel like I am really whipping stuff out. I have a few more things I have to knit for the holidays, but I have already started daydreaming about a project or two for myself.....

Now, off to get ready for our Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow.
What have you been reading? What have you been knitting?
These colours are so playful, I love them!
ReplyDeleteI knit all year for the holidays, and not necessarily anything particular for anyone, but x number of cowls, x numbers of hats, mitts etc. Seems to take the stress off come Christmas, I just look in my stash of finish projects and add a tag!
Oh no, I'm doing my first ever craft fair next weekend - cards rather than knits - but now I'm nervous! What if I sell nothing? Aaaaaaagh!
ReplyDeleteYou will do great! There was very little traffic at this craft fair, which I think was at least part of the problem. I also did not have a good method of displaying everything. Next time, I will do better.
DeleteThey all look so lovely. Sorry about the craft fair, they can be so hit and miss.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.
I hope you can sell more next time. My sister sells her sewing things and sometimes they are big winners and other times it's a bit disappointing. I am working on a cowl for my daughter.
