First order of business. I did successfully well with my bake sale. Unfortuantely, people only looked at my crochet items, but didn't seem to have to much pressure to buy any. This was in my neighborhood, so I definitely have to take my creativity and product else where. I need to branch out more in other LYS, arts & craft shops, and what I'm going to do next, get on Etsy.
Overall it was a great experience, and I learned what people are most interesting in.
O.K. Here is an event I'm putting on, or shall I say presenting a project for all knitters and crocheters. I'm going to host a Crochet Along, an easy one to. The project will be "Granny Square Fever."
There are no specific colors, and the granny squares can be any size or style. There are only 2 rules, it has to be the granny square that you attach or put together, and it has to have a theme. **Also please give a description or a memory of how you got started with knitting and/or crocheting.** This Crochet Along will begin in August 1, 2009 and hopefully everyone will finish at the appointed due date, which is October 24, 2009.
When everyone is done or have completed their Granny Square, please drop me a line (via e-mail) with your Granny Square theme name, and a short memory how you began crocheting and/or knitting. Please also e-mail a picture of your project so that I can post it on my blog. Please post pictures on your blog as well about your Crochet Along project.
This Crochet Along is also for all of us Crocheters and Knitters to correspond and get to know and encourage each other. If anyone runs into a stitch problem, we are all here to help you "Along" the way.
So who wants to join? Please let me know before July 26, 2009-so that I can post everyone's name and blog link on my blog. Just leave a comment and let me know. Every Thursday I will report on any progress that I'm making with my granny square in my posts and/or anyone else's progress that care to share in the comments how they are coming along and progressing.
*Above are some examples and ideas of how you would like to create your granny squares.*
So if your interested, let me know.
Stitching Together in Love,
Crafty Ann
