Starting my shop takes a lot of gusto!

When I started knitting a year ago to help with the loss of my father I had no clue it would spin into such a fine fiber! Now, a year later I am enjoying sketching, drawing, and knitting. It has become a point of no return. I just can not for the life me see a day without knitting or creating.
However, once I decided to listen to loved ones support I jumped in blindly to all things business!

From designing business cards to finding wholesalers. I must say that the research has also become an addiction. Instead of planning a weekend to the mall. I am now, searching for the closest fiber festivals coming this summer!

I have used wool, alpaca, cotton, and blends. Through this I can see I prefer the "washable" fibers. With knitting all things FUNKY 4 Lil' luvs. Babies through preschool sure put our washing machines through the test . Here are my washable fibers care instructions. I am also making a label for these as well and each item shipped will be sent a little care packet.
Here is a list of a couple fiber festivals this summer 2012 I will be making a must see!:
1. Minnesota's Shepherd's Harvest Festival is the largest sheep and wool festival in Minnesota.


2. In Wisconsin,
