The little engine that could...

I made it to the front page of Etsy on Friday. And with every front page comes increased traffic and general knowledge of my shop! I really feel like the little engine that could. I almost gave up on my shop back in January, as sales were down and money for yarn was tight, but I stuck to it, saw it as an investment and was frankly too stubborn to quit before my first year was up. I'm glad I persevered and made new spring inventory, it's starting to pay off. My new twitter account has helped tremendously and probably more than I know at this point... Being one of the new kids on the block, especially on a block with a lot of established knitters, I realized how important it was/is to design and create pieces that will allow me to be my own knitter and to offer something unique to the community, to allow myself to stand out.... It's been a great week and a great month with 18 sales so far! Things are looking good!
