I’ve been thinking of opening an Etsy shop for a while. I love Etsy and I wanted to make things to sell too. I’ve been crocheting for a few years now and I’ve made lots of different things. My blankets have been my favourite things to make, but they take so long and I fall in love with them so I find them hard to part with. I have made two blankets for friend’s babies though, so I may make some more baby blankets. In the meantime I have made some of my second favourite things, scarves. Now, I’m afraid, as much as I feel you can’t have too many blankets, you can have two many scarves, so I’m happy to let these go to new homes.
As well as scarves I decided to add some fingerless mittens, or wrist warmers. I made some for myself and as I suffer from cold hands and carpel tunnel syndrome, I wear them all the time. I can still type and even crochet while wearing them. So, I’ve made some more to sell and I hope to get a little more adventurous with my patterns in the future.
My Etsy Shop
You Can find my Etsy Shop here: Raisiebay’s Shop
It needs a little more work and a lot more stock, but I’ve decided to share a few things I’ve made.

Pink Graduated Cowl/Infinity scarf
Thick Warm Striped Scarf
Blue Fingerless Mittens/Wrist Warmers

I really don’t expect any sales yet, but I will keep adding to my shop until I start selling things. I have a huge stash of wool to get through. What do you think I should sell in my shop? Do you have an Etsy shop, I’m always looking for new ones?
You can see some more of my crochet on this blog.
Oh, congrats on your new Etsy shop how exciting! I will definitely be popping by for a browse. Good luck matey. xx
Good on you and good luck with your shop. It makes sense selling the things you make.
You do make some lovely things. The striped scarf is my favourite and the bunny head blanket is so cute x
Congrats on your shop. I love the items you bought yourself too.
