I'm getting back up and going on my Etsy business, Gnomish Gnits, and I'm doing much better now that I have more networking going in a couple social media sites. Today's project is a pair of socks I just started where I am experimenting with combining knitting and crocheting.
I'll make sure and post more pictures as I progress with them. So far I've added a variety of items to my shop. Here are some of the pictures of things I've made and or sold in Gnomish Gnits:
My latest decision was to choose two charitable or advocacy groups at a time to donate all the proceeds towards. I made the decision for several reasons. First, because it is a good thing to do. Second, because I am comfortable in my financial situation and, while the extra money is fun to spend, not necessary to my survival. I would rather give it to someone who needs it more than I do. I had someone tell me on Twitter that I should raise my prices, but really, I would rather keep them low so more people can enjoy getting hand knitted items that wouldn't ordinarily be able to afford them.
I'm off to a great start and will keep posting updates here to let people see what Gnomish Gnits has to offer, but also just to have a place to post all the experiments (successful or not) and fun that I have as I continue. It's like I chose selling online and knitting combined as my hobby.
