I have been working on getting my knitting up and running for years and can finally envision how it will happen. However, after much discussion with Husband this weekend, I am, quite frankly, worried about doing it via Kickstarter<\/a><\/span> as was my original plan.<\/p>\n

What happens if I overshoot the goal and don’t make it? This means I don’t get any funding. What happens if the campaign blows up and I am swamped with orders? This means disappointing my backers by not getting orders out on time, etc and that is the last thing I want.<\/p>\n

In the end, we also discussed pushing commission knitting, but of a few pieces in a few different colors. And maybe pre-making a bunch of items and posting them to my shop<\/span><\/a>. This way, they could be shipped right away. With Kickstarter, the orders won’t be mailed until the whole grouping is complete<\/p>\n

Either way, my list consists of specific patterns of the following: fingerless gloves, baby and adult hats, a small and large owl, baby legs (legwarmers), scarves, headband\/ ear cover combo, and baby blankets.<\/p>\n

\"weasleymitts\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"mal-hat\" <\/a> <\/div>
\"ringedhat\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"owlhat1\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"midgieowl\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"easypeastlegwarmers\" <\/a> <\/div>
\"keyboardmitts\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"shayablanket\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

What would you do?<\/strong> If you planned on supporting my efforts, I would especially want to know what you think so you get your order in a timely manner.<\/p>\n

Thanks!
