I’ve gotten some good feedback about the upcoming craft fair, so I’m feeling much better about it, thank you! I’ve decided to leave my prices as is: they’re more than fair, and I’d rather hang on to my projects than sell them at cost or just above cost. If I don’t value my work, how I can expect a customer to value it, right?
With that in mind, I’m trying to think of a few fast projects I can make before the show. Hats seem to be a popular suggestion, so I’m aiming for three of the Princess Anna-inspired hood. I’m going to try to make at least two sets of owl hats, matching ones for girls and 18″ dolls. I’ll sell them separately, though. If I have time after that, I’d like to make another newsboy like this one. I really liked how the yarn and pattern worked so well together.And then, if I have any *more* time (I’ll pause here for the laughing to subside. Okay? Okay.) I want to make some boot cuffs. I made some last winter and not only were they fast, but they were super cute and very popular. These were my faves.
I think that’s all I can even dream to finish in the next two weeks, and I know, that’s stretching it. But a girl’s gotta dream. And if I focus on these projects only, I should be able to get a lot done. I can crochet a lot faster than I can knit. Now, I’ve got my yarn, my hook, and my wrist brace…I’m ready to get going!
Good luck on the craft. The cap on the first picture rocks! love love the color!
Thank you! it’s one of my favorites, too.
I think the matching hats for little girls and their dolls is a good idea! I also don’t think selling them separately is a terrible idea, but maybe put an option to buy them as a pair and give them a $3-5-10 discount (depending on how much you’d sell each for individually), people are always looking for good deals, and $3-5-10 is huge! Just an idea.
That newsboy hat is beautiful! I love the way the yarn striped. I love the boot cuffs, too. I kind of wish I wore boots!
Ooh, great idea to do a discount for the set! I’ve done that before, just hadn’t occurred to me for these. I just don’t want to discourage the buyers who only want one. But I’ll absolutely do a deal on the set…as soon as I figure out how much I’m charging for them! 🙂
I love that newsboy too. Makes me wish I wore hats!
