Last Weekend's Craft Fairs

Here are some pictures from the craft fairs last weekend. I had a great time at both, and my sales are really starting to pick up! I completely sold out of leg warmers and boot cuffs, so I am spending my time now making more.

Feelin' Good at Mill No. 5

Here are some photos from this past Sunday. There was a good crowd, and I made decent sales, plus a lot of people took my business card. I learn something new every time I participate in one of these events. One of the most important things I have learned so far is that how you display your items is everything. My display is always a work in progress. One of the most eye catching parts of my display is the mannequin legs, I get a lot of comments about them. I also put my mittens up front so that people can try them on easily. I am still working on how best to display my hats. Another addition was the socks display, which also got a lot of good comments.

Next on up is the Team Tutas Craft fair this Saturday in Nashua.

Then after that on November 22, is the New Searles Holiday Fair, also in Nashua!

Coming Up Next...

I am excited to be participating in these two events coming up in early November!

A Chill in the Air

I love the fall. I know it's not technically fall yet, but the weather recently has been fall like. And when the weather starts to get chillier, it means time to put on those knit hats and scarves! It also marks the beginning of when I start participating in craft fairs. The first craft marketplace that I will be participating in this year will be on October 4 at Mill No. 5. I'm really excited to sell things to people in person again, especially since I have learned a lot since last year and have new displays and products. I also just received my Square card reader, and now I can accept credit cards!

My latest knit project was a pair of striped legwarmers with some leftover sock yarn. I really like the color combination. They also feel really soft and light, not too bulky but will definitely provide some warmth (and style). I plan to post the pattern for these later, so stay tuned!

Etsy listing for these legwarmers can be found here.

Usually when I learn a new technique or craft I become obsessed with it for a time. My new obsession has been using my french knitting device to make beaded bracelets. There are so many different styles you can do with these, I have been making a whole bunch in different colors and styles.

Etsy listings for these bracelets can be found here.
