New Pieces

Just popping in to share a couple more pieces that I've done and put in my Etsy shop.  I'm taking it easy this week with posting, linking up and stocking my shop because there's been so much I need to do around the house.  

I do have one neat bit to share about Etsy.  I was browsing for chunky scarves the other day because I was trying to figure out how much to charge for one that I'd just finished.  I clicked on a listing for one of those cool chunky cowls that are hot right now.  Right before I closed the page, I noticed that the seller lives in Greenville, SC, which is where I live.  I sent her a message and found out that she's really only a few minutes away from me and found out that aside from knitting, we have some other things in common too.  I've still got to reply back to her, but I think we might try to meet.  How cool is that?  Out of the thousands of listings, I just happened to click on one that belonged to someone in my area.

Anyway, here are a couple of the pieces that I've put in my shop during the last few weeks.  More to come since I've been trying to stock it for Christmas.
