For months, I’ve been constantly plagued with the thought of having a shop at Etsy, an international web-based store for vintage and handmade items.  Placing listings for my hat patterns seems like a good idea, so as of January 5, 2012, LSK Designs at Etsy went public featuring 15 knit hat patterns available in PDF format.

You can check it out for yourself and tell me what you think:

“LSK Designs” was not my first choice as the shop name, but the phrase “Little” + “Sweet” + “Knittings” was not available, to my chagrin, so I thought it was necessary to incorporate this phrase on the banner as it appears in the image above.  As a shop newbie, I am tweaking the shop appearance and item information to better assist visitors and assure that these ones have a good shopping experience.  For those who are not familiar or those who do not wish to open an Etsy account, I am still keeping all my patterns available through this blog with PayPal conducting the transactions.
