Y2Knit

It’s always intriguing for me to see what top sellers are and to see sales trends. For instance, I used to sell oodles of Hiya Hiya needles online, but now that more shops carry them, my online sales of them are down.

We’ll have a really popular pattern, which makes us think it got mention somewhere, but even a Ravelry search doesn’t give us a clue. Why has Summer Night Top been such a good seller in 2010? The pattern was released in 2005.

I just got yarn in from three different sources, all special orders for customers and all in the honey/sun gold color. And I sold another bag of gold yarn yesterday. It is a warm color on a cold day, so I’m enjoying looking at it.

EAR LIGHTS continue to go out the door with almost every customer and to be a favorite with online customers. Good for anyone on your gift list.

Another popular item is the Waterfall Kit. I’m sure the lovely colors of the Malabrigo Aquarella help sell this, and the fact that it’s a quick knit, perfect for getting a gift done fast. The summer interns chose that yarn as their favorite.
