Here is a lovely site. Look at the free knitting patterns. I am knitting toys from the duck family book. Have a look at the knitting books as well. Everything is made so simple and easy and I am enjoying making the little cuties. http://www.jeangreenhowe.com/index.html

I am hoping to sell them in the future Carolyn.
Our town has a Shopmobility scheme and every now and again they are given the chance to open a craft shop in a vacant shop for a couple of weeks or so for crafters to sell their goods.
They ask for a £5 donation and 15% of items sold. I have put my name down on the waiting list so will see what happens.
If not I will have to find another outlet for them. I only want to sell them for enough money to buy more wool and patterns.
It is a hobby that I enjoy.

That sounds great, I know what you mean - I do that with cards, if I didn't sell them I wouldn't make that many.

Well, I have been accepted for the next Shopmobility Charity craft shop that will be open for about a month in a vacant shop.
I have knitted quite a few little animals and now I need advice on pricing.
Any ideas please. You can see the little animals on the link in my first post. They are between 6 to 8 inches high.
Don't want to overprice them but need enough to buy some more yarn.

I'm sorry , I wouldn't have a clue how much to charge. Obviously you need to make enough to replenish the yarn you use, then you need to add a bit of profit to that. You also need to think about the 15%..that seems a bit high to me but I expect it is the going rate.Other people might have some idea. Good luck with your stall anyway. _________________ Kath Kath's Blog

Thank you for your replies and for the links Carolyn. Have also looked at ebay. I think I will charge between £3 and £4.50 and see how that goes. I don't have to 'man' the stall, it is run by volunteers and I just have part of a table so will see how it goes. At least I don't have to use my time standing around
