I have decided I'm going to knit myself a new jumper - and it will be red! Not that wishy washy orangey red of British post boxes, but a rich, glowing blood red (it would look great on Ianto

Ok, knitting is good - I can't knit so always impressed with people who can!!! *frowns* thought you were clearing books??????? I sense distractions!!! [look who's talking - I let myself get lost in some fluff!smut rather than what I should've been doing!!] oh, btw - red is good...love red...Ianto's colour...hope you found your needles... Raining? We've had clear blue sky and sunshine today :D Good luck *massages arthritic fingers* xxx
Yes, clearing books - and eveything else! If I can clear the junk out of the box room, I can put all my other craft stuff in there. Then, maybe I'll be able to get to the cupboard with the books in.
I started knitting properly when my sister got pregnant for the first time. I thought, "Hmmm, I'm going to be an Auntie. Aunties knit baby clothes, I'd better get started." So I did. Used to knit baby clothes for a local shop, but when they went out of business, I got a ton of stuff back. Still got most of it, seems people don't want traditional baby handknits these days. It's all babygrows and designer baby wear.
Not got my needles out yet, but I think I know where they are, so I'll soon be set. I can knit and watch TV, or I can knit and read. It's easy enough with a book, but I don't know if I'll be able to read the laptop at the same time. =D
Have you ever thought about putting your traditional baby handknits on eBay? Tons of money on eBay -- give it a thought -- not everyone is snooty when it comes to babies. There's lots and lots of people who love traditional things when it comes to their babies and grandbabies. Open eBay for whereever you are (US it's just .com, for the UK it's ebay.co.uk) and plug hand-made baby clothes into the search engine, or even just hand-made and see what happens)
I have thought about it, but I'm undecided because of the fees involved. I'll have to have a look at what's already on offer and see how it compares to what I've made.
I haven't knitted much for years, but I've just started a new jumper for myself - knitting is both good and bad for arthritis I think. Still, it's going well so far =)
I don't remember the fees as very much at all for a basic listing -- it wasn't until you decided to do the fancy stuff like have multiple pictures and sparkley bits, and links to your other active autions or to your store that the money really mattered. I see a lot of 'buy it now's on items, rather than an auction, and there's always just an out-right ebay store now

okay, bad girl that I am, I just looked:
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=hand-knit+baby+clothes&_sacat=See-All-Categories
and it lists 403 items. Why can't any of those be yours???????
I've ebayed on both sides, buyer and seller, so if you have any questions, ask!!!
And if you want me to shut up and go away, just ask!!!
