Great article but as has been mentioned a few times in the forums, knitting and shrinking woollen items isn't felting or felt making, it's fulling, which is a totally different process. Sorry to be pedantic but its one of my bugbears, sadly the publishing industry hasn't helped with incorrectly terming the different processes. Good to see traditional and needle feltmaking being promoted though.

Thefunkyfelter does mention "fulling" in the article: "and fulling (or shrinking) already woven material which often involves knitting or crocheting an item first."

Terrific article! Visit Etsy shops - like mine ;) - for hand dyed and natural roving to get started on your own felting adventure! Both wet felting and needle felting are fun and creative. I love it!

GREAT article! I totally relate. Just passed my one-year etsyversary last month and am in the process of revamping my shop to appear more business-like and appealing to customers! My goal is to make this a viable source of income within three years.

From article: Confessions of "Jan": Finding Your Way in the Middle

I can relate as well! I've been on Etsy since June of 2005, so in that respect I'm a Marcia. But joining Etsy 2 and a half years ago coincided with a promotion at my regular job and my own business beginning to boom. Ever since, I've been just trying to keep up with day to day mumbo jumbo. My goal for 2008 is to launch my etsy store, Minno, and work on that full time.

Funky Felter, Thanks for the great article! My hope is for my shop to become a very solid, reliable part-time income. I already have a "real" job that I love so for now a few sales a month is enough. Next year, with both my kids in school full time, I'm hoping I'll be a Jan too!

I didn't realize my real name - Jan - had so much meaning behind it, thanks to the Brady bunch :) I'm happy being a Jan on Etsy and am in a very similar position as Maple. My fiber art and crafts pay to keep my llamas happy and healthy. It works for me, though there are definitely days I'd love to quit my day job. Great article!

Hi, my name is Jan. Not really... I'm happy at where my sister and I are at with our shop. We have so much fun making stuff together! We spend the money we make here on more supplies and sometimes a little treat for ourselves. :)

I'm so feeling like a Jan. So stuck in the middle. I still feel like I was just a newbie yesterday but I have had many sales but would love to have many more like everyone else. If I could ever make this a full time job I would be more than happy. Maybe one day I will get to be a Marcia. Great article and I like the list of references on the bottom!

Thank you for this great article!! I'm a definite Jan. "When asked if she is happy with her sales on Etsy, her reply was, "I'm never happy — if I don't get 'enough' sales I wonder if something is wrong, and if I get too many sales at once I get stressed out." ----This is exactly how I feel! To a T. Thanks for giving voice to all of us in the middle :)
