Hey, all!
Okay. After much deliberation (and frustration), I've decided to disconnect/keep separate Facebook, Flickr and this blog from my Etsy shop. Even though that's a lot of the reason I finally joined Facebook and re-opened this blog, I'm now wanting to use these resources more for personal contacts ... or at least have the freedom to use them to promote all the avenues in which I'm working rather than just one, i.e., Etsy. I'm considering setting up a separate page on Facebook for promoting The Knitwit and all the outlets I've got her/myself. Etsy doesn't allow connection to or mention of any networking site if it mentions or connects onward with any other online sales arena. I now have two shops on Etsy as well as two on eCrater, and I'm wanting to promote them via my name and as I wish. I can do this as long as I make no mention within Etsy of the "outside" sites, networking and promotion.
I'm finding that since I have so much stock in my (main Etsy) shop, that any profit I get from a sale (which is minimal) is then eaten with keeping the shop open 'fore another sale comes along. I'm thinking of reducing the stock there and keeping more of it at eCrater 'cause they don't charge for the listings.
My "first love" for online sales lies with Etsy and will remain so, but I think this change may be a necessary step to perhaps get me beyond the point of not making any profit and, in fact, paying to keep the shop.
Though the additional shops are set up and open, I've little stock in all but the original one. Here are the addies to all if you care to check 'em out.

For those who are familiar with my shop and efforts, what's your opinion on me opening a separate Facebook page specifically for The Knitwit etal.?
