I sold my first items on Etsy! My old high school mentor recently had her third baby (how has so much time passed??) and she contacted me to see if I could make little elf/pixie/sleep hats. I searched around until I had the basic premise of a pattern down, bought the yarn, and got to work.
And friends, I was a knitting machine.
In the span from Thursday to Monday I had made all three! It took several attempts and LOTS of frogging to get the first hat right so it actually felt like I made four. I am pleased with how they turned out and am so excited to have made a sale! I can’t wait to see what they look like on a baby.
I’ll have the listing on etsy for these custom made hats if you’re interested! I’d love to work with you!
What was the first thing you sold or made for someone else?
