Red and gray raggs socks for Etsy

Added a pair of ragg socks to my Etsy store that I knitted some moons ago. These socks are more straight forward socks than my previous ones as these only consist of 4-5 types of yarn and I haven’t used rib stitches on “foot part” of the socks.

Stay tuned for more socks! :)

Ragga socks for Etsy February 20

I just finished a pair of my crazy and unique ragg socks. The reason these socks are unique is that no two socks are alike. I use a lot of different types and colors of yarn (I have bag upon bag of leftover yarn that I have collected) so they will never look the same. Isn’t it cool to own some clothing that no one else owns? :)

The ragg socks are now up for sale at my new Etsy store http://laupstadknitting.etsy.com.
I’ve sold quite a few of knitted socks on eBay, but Etsy seems friendlier and have cheaper fees so I want to try Etsy for a while. Might go back to eBay if the sales are slow.

Ragg socks made by leftover yarn
My new crafting project is a pair of ragg socks that I’m knitting from leftover yarn. I got a tons of leftover yarn laying around so this is a great way of using your resources instead of throwing them away.
It’s a bit complicated because you have to change yarn all the time, but no two socks will look the same.

These socks will probably be listed on eBay or Etsy. Not sure how easy it is to sell on Etsy as I’ve never tried that site before. On eBay I usually get my things sold, but the price is usually very low compared to all the hours I have used on the knitting projects. When you combine that with the high fees from eBay and Paypal and the low value on the US dollar, it doesn’t seem worth it.
Would love to hear your opinion on selling crafted items.
