      Definitely definitely do it.you will soon learn the things you need to know for etsy.its the same as when we joint loveknitting i had no idea what i was doing(still dont lol) but it has been so much fun
      The only thing you would have to consider i think is which toys you really love making and they arent too time consuming (as it wouldnt be worth it) and you would need plenty of wool (ohh no lots of wool how hard would that be.hee hee).its only a listing and if you dont like it you can take it down.your toys are amazing and seeing your toys is what has inspired me to try and make them.😊😊😊

        Thanks Michelle for your lovely comments and inspiring words. I know what you mean about time consuming and it's a good point, some of the popular vintage characters like Peter Rabbit and Paddington Bear are popular but do take much longer to sew up and put together.
        I don't think the wool would be a problem as I don't have a stash I have a small mountain 😀. So after the Spring fair in a couple of weeks I'll make a decision on what to list and have a go.🤗

      Ohh he is so cute,he is got that border collie look of what are we going to do now ???. I love his colours and that wool,you are always trying different wool and it turns out fabulous and of course the wee bandana just gives him character.i hope the Easter fair went well I see you are now making things for the spring fair.

        Thanks Michelle, and yes the Easter Fair last Sunday was very well attended, sadly it's the last one at that venue as the hotel is being demolished, but I have another one with a different organiser next month. I've also been looking at opening a virtual shop on the craft site Etsy, I'm not very computer savvy but it does look quite straightforward so it's worth having a go, and as long as I can keep keep making lovely toys.😍

      I just adore him! Especially his little ear tips and bandana. I really need to start knitting puppies! They are beautiful and I agree with Dianne, he does look so real! X
