My August 2013 Committments

[KnitAndCrochetPalace]

Here I am again.....hope August gets me back to putting in the work that didn't make it in July. My August commitments will be 10 new listings and working on SEO.

I can't figure out how to send the pictures of the blanket since it isn't going to be listed??????

[Ellareki]

Hi KCP and good luck with this month's goals. I think most people who want to post a picture of something not listed in their shop upload it to somewhere like flickr or photobucket and then provide a link to that. Hope that makes sense :)

[KnitAndCrochetPalace]

First listing for August.

[LilyLouLou]

I love the color! Are they called thumbless or fingerless gloves? Just curious...

[KnitAndCrochetPalace]

Fingerless and thumbless.....I guess I need to change that. Thanks Tanya. I love the color too....

[NikkisFunFinds]

Have you ever made leg warmers or those boot cuffs? They might sell well this fall. I, too, love the aqua blue!

[KnitAndCrochetPalace]

Good idea Nikki. I have been wracking my brain tonight trying to find some wearables to add to my listings.

[NikkisFunFinds]

I just ran across a cute shop tonight called pippisLongstockings.
I used to wear leg warmers back in the days. And they seem to be coming back.
I'd love to see more wearables in your shop! I might be a frequent customer. (P.S. My favorite color is green).
Have a great August.

I'm looking at some patterns now! I really like making fingerless gloves.

Hi,
I was thinking you could make spats..yes I said spats! I wear hikers all winter that are low tops and I also wear cotton short socks so I was thinking about making some spats so my ankles wouldn't freeze.
I would never wear leg warmers so these would be perfect to stop the drafts!!
e.g. A nice loose thick cuff that flares about an inch and a half all around to cover the very top of your shoe.
You could make it a complete cuff and slip it on or you could make it flat with a button closure.

I love boot cuffs!!!
Leg warmers are totally back, but they're not my favorite trend.

I can send you hat business if you make some kids hats!

[NikkisFunFinds]

Yes I love kid hats! Oh so many ideas. Show us some listings!

[KnitAndCrochetPalace]

Hi Nikki,
How did the camping trip go???? I have a pair of spats made and am making the buttons for them now. Will list them as soon as I get the buttons on. Next will be a couple pair of boot toppers, then a pair of leg warmers. I don't do good with hats though.

[Ellareki]

I'm another fan of boot cuffs - especially if they have pompoms dangling from them for some reason!

[NikkisFunFinds]

Camping was so fun!! Our first time at it as a family. Hope to do it every summer.
Love ellareki's idea with pompons.
Excited for you to add these new items.

[NikkisFunFinds]

By the way, how have your sales been?
P.S. I'd love to see more animals like that cute yellow dog or your turtle. Do you have patterns for other animals?

[KnitAndCrochetPalace]

Sales are slow. I have sold a few turtles but none of the little dog. I have also sold bears and cats. Glad your camping trip went well.

[NikkisFunFinds]

cute boot leg warmers!!

[LilyLouLou]

I love the leg warmers! Especially the color. Do you offer them in different colors or will you being offering them?

[KnitAndCrochetPalace]

Thanks Nikki and Tanya. I can make them in different colors if anyone wants that. I think I will be offering more styles also. I like that color too....it is called Aruba Sea.

[NikkisFunFinds]

Do you mention that in the listing...that someone could special order a different color?

[Former_Member]

I think boot cuffs are going to be in this fall/winter. What about leg Warner's for kids? I don't wear them, but my daughter does.

[KnitAndCrochetPalace]

Thank you for all the great suggestions everyone. I plan on listing more boot cuffs, fingerless gloves and a pair of leg warmers.......gotta keep plugging away. Time is getting away from me.
