Thanks Gozer, that’s really encouraging. 
(It’s hard not to compare what I make to other awesome lettuce crafters)
I’ll keep a lookout in here for what people are interested in.
I’m definitely making buttons. Currently obsessed with my button making machine lol

I’m one step before the spinning - batts are one way to process fiber to get it ready to spin. 
That said, I will also look for some handspun as well. There’s always a few single skeins hanging around that I don’t have a plan for, since I spin faster than I can knit it all!

I am 100% positive people will want things in your shop! That said, hugs and I understand your anxiety. Like Gozer said, we all have that feeling. STS is us putting our art on the line and hoping someone wants it.
I tend to use STS to shop for presents for family and friends so I’m excited to see this year’s stores!

The first post in this thread has a list of ideas as well. Your shop name can be whatever you want it to be, I don’t reference it in my notes. It’s just a goofy thing we do.

I don’t think I will be able to join this year. Just super busy with work and I don’t want to overcommit

If y’all need more time, I’m flexible. I’m not having a Halloween party this year so I will be much less stressed. We could wait until Sept or even Oct. Probably should finish the swap before December, though.

Waiting a bit would help me, but I will try to make it work no matter what.

Okay cool. I’ll push it back two weeks and reassess?

The original dates were:
DATES:
signups tentatively August 29 to Sept12
last day possible after the over/under week is November (date TBA)
I think we were pushing it forward so you could host and do your Halloween party. Do we want to go back to the original dates? I think that will give people with kids time to get the little ones in school.
I don’t have kids, so I don’t know. Just a question. I know we get more swappers in the Fall.

Those dates work fine for me. That so gives me more time to stock my shop.
