Craft Fair Countdown: Day 4

I'm learning that there's a lot that goes into participating in a craft fair, and I bet everyone who has done one shares the feeling I'm having today:  I wish I had another month week and then everything would be perfect!  But as you know, I only have four more days until show time so perfect is going out the window!


But maybe I can still aim for almost perfect, right?  When I'm feeling like too many sparks are going on in my head, I take out my trusty notebook and pencil and start making lists. I'm a BIG list maker and love making them so it felt really good to jot down my thoughts this morning and start organizing all the things I have left to do.


I'm embarrassed to say that I still need to knit more inventory ~ in fact, I came up with a new (easy) bracelet design that I just have to add to my collection ~ so knitting is at the top of my list.  Next will be display design then tag marking then price lists then .... I guess I should get off the computer and start paying attention to my lists!

  1. I don't know how you do it - a graduating senior, the usual family stuff, KALs, test knits, and a craft fair? That's a lot. But I can see how much fun a fair would be to participate in. I read other knitters and dyers say that it's better to have too much inventory than too little. I hope your booth is a great success and lots of fun for you.
