I spent waaaay too much time on etsy last night. That can't be good. But I did find these:

Oh I love etsy... i could get lost for hours on there! (and go broke!)

Hmmm is that person allowed to sell your book like that???

Psst don't tell I told..but some certain sample knitter (me) was tasked to make a little Errol Owl for the fall KnitPicks catalog shoot.. he's fun!!

I'm always so excited when I see a book by one of my "imaginary friends" in the bookstore. I buy them all--I just can't resist!

Oh my, oh my, those are so cute. Love the shirt, and finger puppets and the mice. Wouldn't those be cute in a doll house?? For your info, my daughter, Lily had a Cafe Press line with HP goodies - she did a brisk business for a while in tee shirts. She designed me a cup with a sports team logo (Hogwarts School - Seeker) and a pair of boxers with a snitch. Oops - she says she thinks her stuff was taken down by Warner Bros. lawyers, but Etsy is policed more loosely. How did you get your book past the WB watchers?

I love etsy - I can spend hours just looking at stuff (& I've bought some fantastic stitch markers & that cute little mini crochet hook stitch picker upper on a keyring). I know a certain short blonde for whom that T-shirt would be perfect & LOVE the little mousie.

Great finds on Etsy. Recently I've been spending all the money I make there on fibre stash...

Etsy is definitely a dangerous place to visit! So many stores (outside of the fiber goodness, I am partial to the sewing and jewelry stuff).

There is so much talent on Etsy!

Oh wow, how did I not make the connection between the lovely wonderful Harry Potter knitting book (which I own!) and your name before? I think the pictures of your cute daughter kept distracting me.

I *pink puffy* heart Etsy!

I saw your book on Etsy a few days ago and thought that it was strange for someone to try to sell it there. Ebay:yes, Etsy:?

Alison - LOVE your book! I've made Errol and Hedwig so far, and my daughter is begging for Griffyndor socks, but can't find the yarn. Suggestions for substitutions?
