Fall-time Knitting

It's fall again and while I haven't posted in a while, I am thinking about what projects I can start working on. As I near the completion of the first year in my MBA Program, I am taking note of the many things I have been required to set aside so that I can find time for my studies. Knitting and other fabric related projects have been one of those things.

Yet, as the cool weather sets in, I cannot help but think about all of the scarves and hats and mittens I would like to create as gifts for my family and friends. How do I find the time?

Stop by and share your new fall projects. At a minimum, I hope to live vicariously through you.

For inspiration, check out this "Either-Or Capelet" I found in Fringe's Etsy shop or this "Blooming Trim Scarf in Thistle" I found in Fray's Etsy shop.

Hey there!

I'm kinda dropping by randomly because your link is on my blog & I'm reading through them in the middle of the night.

& I thought I'd stop for a second to tell you about this new selling site I found. It's called ArtFire.com & you should check it out.

It's still really, really new (still in beta) but it's heading in a really good direction! They are already buying advertising online & in print magazines to bring in traffic to the site. (It's already got almost as much traffic as indiepublic.com)

It's got stats for shop views so you know where your customers are coming from! I know! Gasp! Faint! Right? hehe

& it's just $7 a month (for the first 5000 artists) to list & sell as much as you can FOREVER. $7 a month no matter what! I signed up on that alone! haha

Anyhoo, it is new so there aren't zillions of people using it (which is good & bad) but I thought you might want to take a look at it. With the ad campaign they are working on kicking in soon (or so they are saying), I think it's going to be a good place to start listing!

If you sign up, give me a yell & let me know what you think!

Always,
Amy
