Yes, I'm plunging in to the wonderful world of Etsy - All Things Hand Made! Those of you who know me well know how much I love knitting. I have been knitting since I was 8 years old when my dear sweet Mam had the patience of a saint to teach me.I have always loved to knit small gifts for family and friends and after giving it many hours of thought I have now decided to start selling my little gifts. Of course I'm a little nervous, there are so many wonderful knitters on Etsy I'm sure I'll be lost in the crowd, but that's ok. I'm not out to make a ton of money, but more for the enjoyment of sharing my craft with those who don't (or can't) knit but want to buy that 'hand made' gift for someone special.
I have started small, making sweet little washcloth and dishcloth sets,. I listed the little pink set above yesterday and it has already sold! Over time (and certainly when the weather turns cooler in the Fall) I may add hats and scarves and mittens and lots of other things too - I have a lot of ideas, the key is finding the time to knit them all :-)
This is a big Woo Hoo day for me, so I am thrilled to link up to sweet Marla for her wonderful Woo Hoo Wednesday party. I am excited to share my news and hope you don't mind me blatantly promoting my 'new little shop' on here. I don't have much in it right now but please feel free to check it out HERE and let me know what you think.
Have a wonderful and happy Hump Day, and don't forget to check out the other great participants of WHW!

Denise I didn't know you knit!! Wow, that's truly an art and a big Woo Hoo! to your talent AND your etsy shop. Girl, we are so glad you are celebrating your new "shop" and letting us celebrate with you at Woo Hoo! Wednesday!
That's great Denise! I keep toying with the idea of selling on etsy but keep talking myself our of it.
That's great, Denise! Good luck and I will keep that in mind if I need a gift! Carla

Heather... yes I knit socks :-) I wanted to reply to you but there's no link in your profile. Hope you see this.
These are really neat! I used to knit many years ago.
Have a great day!

Hi Denise,
Congrats on your new site ;) My sister is a big knitter. She even use to sell her sweaters to a female newscaster on our local news channel many years ago. It was neat to watch her deliver the news wearing my sisters sweaters. She just did that in her spare time. Hope you have a wonderful evening. I am off to dinner.
Hugs, Dru
Wow, Denise! I've seen some of your knitting creations. . . you're really, really good! How exciting that you've opened your own Etsy shop. I'd say that's definitely worthy of a "Woo Hoo"!!
I need to check out your shop, since I'm one of those poor souls who doesn't even know how to hold knitting needles. I wish I could come to Texas and have you teach me. :)
Way to go! I'm a little jealous but not patient enough to do it myself. :)
Way to go! I love knitting..last time I did it I was in 6th grade and I can't remember how to do it...but...I love it and wish I still did it! Good luck with your new venture! Come say hi :D
Congrats on your shop! That's great...I wish I lived nearby and you could give me some lessons. I'd love to learn to knit.
Best of luck in your new venture. Will you post here when you update the shop?
Good for you! Good luck on your newest adventure. Be blessed. Cindy
Woohoo is right! Congrats Denise! You are talented. My sister knits and I know it is time consuming. I'll check out your Etsy shop. I love to shop with my fellow blog friends. *Smiles*
Thank you for checking out our painted walls. Isn't it amazing what color does for a home? ~Melissa :)
Denise I loved the trio of dish towels! They are my perfect colors too. Thanks for making something so pretty. I can't wait to get them! ~Melissa :)
I am so happy that you are selling your beautiful stuff on Etsy! I think that it will all sell. Good luck.
Congrats and good luck on your new venture, Denise. Those are beautiful and I am sure you will be successful. Happy knitting!..Christine
Congratulations and best of luck!
