Knit pattern
via Pixiebell
Curious indeed! Designed by Husband and Wife duo, Christopher and Diane Serviss, you can find their signature hat pattern via Etsy or Ravelry for 5 bucks. It's knit with Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick on Size 13 needles. (Chunky yarn on large needles! What's not to love?)
Every knitter dreams of selling their wares. Although there are many online forums to do so, considering my background in retail, I am attracted to craft fairs. I love interacting with customers and being part of a group of crafters who just plain love what I love. I'm not quite there in terms of selling but Diane shares some advice on how to build a creative business with Lisa Jacobs, of Marketing Creativity. Her best marketing strategy?
"Hang out where your potential buyers hang out. It sounds somewhat simplistic, but it works. There is a buyer for everything and those people tend to have similar likes and interests as the artist who makes the items. Find groups ..online and off.. and participate in them. I participate in a lot of knitting and crochet sites, forums and local meetings."
Very sound advice! Check out more from Pixiebell via Etsy.
