what to sell in my online store
After some research and thinking and MORE thinking I figured that an on-line store at esty.com would be agood idea to sell some of hand knitted/crocheted items. NOW the hard part is what to sell SO I am looking for some opinons and input.

I voted, but I guess in reality I'd like to make my own stuff.

I didn't vote but I tend to think that specialty themes are perhaps preferable if you're doing an online site because it makes it easier to market for one thing and then easier in terms of how you design and decorate your website. I'm sure some may disagree and consider a 'little bit of everything' is best (like a gift shop) but from my experience most people who look to buy online start with an item range in mind e.g. baby clothes or items for wearing in the snow and so on.

I voted bags etc. I find new mummy's either want to knit for their babies or have friends and family kint for them, I can't think of any of my friends who have bought knitted baby items.
