VOTE for NiftyKnits

I was so excited to come home from my new job on Tuesday to find a message from Etsy Admin!

Greetings!

I'm Katie, the intern here at the Etsy blog.

There are 52 to choose between, mine is the knitted pot of three daffodils. Here is another picture of the daffodils:

Selling my knitting patterns?

Several people have asked me recently if I'd sell my patterns. So far, I'm saying no for a couple of reasons.

The first is that I am very proud of my creations! It took me quite a long time to realise that making my own patterns up was even possible, let alone be brave enough to start.



Yesterday, midway through making a second corgi (which needed to match the first to some extent), I lost my pattern. Panic ensued - my fellow members of Etteam will agree that I was just a tiny bit cross!


When I eventually found it (well, OK, give him his due - Mr NiftyKnits found it, I was so cross I'd stopped looking) I thought I'd scan it in case I lost it again.



Having scanned it, I thought if I showed you just how professionally written out my patterns are, you just might guess another reason I don't put them up for sale...LOL it all makes perfect sense to me!



So anyway...anyone still want to buy a pattern?

Oh oh, time to go home!

Still time to enter my competition!
