Not spamming, at all, **Naja** – your comments are extremely helpful, as are **Kayeby** ’s, **gorgonzola** ’s, and, well, everyone’s. I’m defnitely going to do this, but prob. not till after I’m back from vacation in two weeks. Knitwicks is good – I’m thinking I may dig out and sell some of my old needlepoint projects, though – so maybe something about stitchery in general? (Hell, if people can put a new username up for voting here, why not an Etsy shop name?) Thanks, all – ---

Twickstitch? I like Knitwicks and Twick’s Knits both–any syllable combination is fun to say. I think even if you sell the needlework, it’s fine to have a knit-centric name if that’s your main focus. My store name says “leather” but I also sell drawings and other art from time to time. Stitchin Twicks? Twicks Stitches? Knittin Twicks? Knitcentric Twicks? Twisted Twicks? Twisted Knickers? Kickin’ Tits? ---

I’m serious about letting you guys vote on a shop name for a shop selling mostly knitgoods, maybe some needlepoint. Here are the suggestions so far: TwicksKnits TwicksTwistedKnits TwicksTwists HowsTwicks Knitwicks Twickstitch StitcheryTwicks (Apparently the names are no spaces, no punctuation, thus the form some of these take.) Any other ideas? any preferences amongst these? ---

Before I vote, is there any chance you might ever do anything _other_ than knitted goods? Because then there might be a reason you’d avoid the “knit” part of the name. ---

Yeah, as I said – mostly knitting, but I may sell some of my old needlepoint projects. ---

Whichever one you’d most like to see on your shop banner. (Yes, I suggested Knitwicks, but it ain’t my shop.) 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tell-me-about-etsy/458068.md?page=2)
