Online resources for selling handmade knitting accessories?

Hi! I am new to the group, and have enjoyed reading everything on here. I do have a question though.... I am a silver artist as well as being a spinner and knitter. I have finally made some GORGEOUS stitch markers with sterling and fine silver (soldered filigree) and I need a good online source to sell them. I have used Ebay before, don't want to go there again. Any ideas?

Have you ever checked out www.etsy.com? It is an handmade shopping dream!

I agree with Melissa...Etsy is the way to go on line. I am finding personal handouts in my area to be a good sales tool....other than that....join sites....talk up about your things....I was able to sell one of my items to a girl in Australia....doesn't happen often .... but the opportunities are out there! Good luck!

I like this suggestion too! I know some sites offer free patterns and pattern support for their yarns as well as goodies that you can buy handmade. I imagine they get a lot of their ideas from people contacting them!

A little too scared to go this far yet.... I did ask about interest at my local yarn shop when I was in there on Sunday. I guess we will just have to try and take some decent photos of them. All of my silver photos are not very good so far. They turn out fuzzy (even on auto focus?) and not very detailed.

Thanks for all of the great ideas so far, please keep them coming!
