I know, I know I ahven't blogged for ages, that last post dated today I wrote back in May but it didn't publish for some reason but when I logged in today it was there waiting, bizare......... anyway I though I may as well publish it.
On to to other stuff, I have been a busy busy bee lately and I decided to try and make some money from knitting by opening a little shop on Etsy and Folksy, I started off by knitting three cushions, but they took quite a lot of time and effort so I decided to try and focus on smaller items such as a mobile/camera case. I have an Iphone and I like to listen to audio books on it with my headphones but I don't always have a pocket to put it in so I like a case I can wear round my neck. I had made myself a quick rough one from some left over Noro wool and I felted it but although it did the job it wasn't very attractive as the colours faded significantly.
Anyway I found this fabulous pattern on Ravelry fo an Iphone Cover with a flexi clasp and a little pocket on the front and it's adorable! You can find the pattern here: http://cottonandcloud.com/blog/free-pdf-knitting-pattern-knitted-iphone-purse/ I knitted one for myself and added an Icord strap and an icord flower on the front and I'm so pleased with it. Unfortunatley I can't post a photo as I can't get the blooming photo to upload!!! I'll have to try again later :-(
Anyway I decided this pattern would be ideal to make and try and sell on Etsy as the design combinations are endless, I have made three already including the one for me you can see them here on my shops: my Folksy shop my Etsy shop now all I need is someone to buy something so that I get some feedback and then hopefully others will buy some...... fingers crossed!
Good luck with the sales!
