When I received the magnificent heather gray ribbed pixie bonnet she sent, I couldn't help but grin about how adorable it looks in a size 3-6 months! If it weren't for some lucky winner, my baby would now be clothed in birdie baby booties AND this iddy biddy hat!

Q: When did you begin your craft?
A: I started knitting just after college. My little sister wanted leg warmers for Christmas, I went to Benetton to buy some and totally balked at the price. I thought, "I could make those." The next day I bought myself some needles and stayed up all night knitting a very sad pair of bright pink leg warmers.
Q:How has your shop changed since it began?
A: I have started offering my patterns for sale. It was a tough decision to let people know my secrets (the main secret is that knitting is easy), but it allows me to spend more time making new things.
Q: What is the best business decision you ever made?
A: Its not much of a business decision, but I only sell things I love to make. Like many Etsy shop owners, I am a busy mom, I don't want to dread making an order. I knit for fun, its an added bonus that others want to buy the finished product.
Q: What advice do you have for new sellers?
A: Listen to your customers, they often have great ideas. After receiving several custom orders for plain bonnets in neutral or little boy colors, I finally took the hint and made the Ribbed Bonnet.
Q: If you were to buy yourself something on Etsy, what would it be?
A: I just bought myself a vintage charm necklace from Contrary. It was in my favorites for months, I finally decided I would be crushed if someone else bought it and now its mine!
