I think I may be safe in saying that many knitters and crocheters, including me, have a favorite thing to make. Me? I love making shawls. The idea of a handmade item hugging your shoulders and adding a bit of warmth or covering sun kissed skin on a cool summer evening is exactly what being cozy means to me.
The first one of the pictures here is of a shawl I made and gave away. The last 3 are of shawls I have sold on Etsy. The light blue and the white one were sold to the same person in March. It felt so good to send them to a new home and I hope they are being used often.
Not many buyers leave reviews and I get that. For many online purchases I don't leave reviews however, on Etsy I always leave one. I know how it feels for a small business on Etsy to get some kind words sent your way.
For the dark blue fringed shawl above my buyer left this 5 star review-
"Gorgeous and comfy! Quick shipping too! Awesome seller!"
I have more shawls coming. Some will be cute sparkly accessories and some will be cozy, squishy, warming shoulder blankets. (That is what a granddaughter called them when she was very young and didn't know the word shawl.)
PS If any reader is an online seller, in the comments share your most heartwarming review you have received. Would love to hear from you.
Back with more again soon. Take care and stay cozy!
