Do you crochet? Do you do it beacuse you love it or is it your way of making an income? I crochet and I do it for the love of the art of creating. I'll be honest, I make some money, not enough to quit my day job. Yet! I have dreams that one day I will be able to spend my whole day just creating and crocheting away.
When i started on this journey a little over a year ago the only thing I wanted to do was learn to crochet a sock monkey hat for our newest addition. That was it. I tell you social media has power, more power than I thought was possible. I went from sharing my first ever creation to selling my first item within a month. I didn't have a crochet page on facebook or a blog. I just wanted to share my new skill with my friends and family. I was so proud of what I had learned. The second I picked up that crochet hook, I was hooked. It came so naturally to me I didn't want to stop. A few short months after I learned to crochet I decided to start a page on Facebook. Not to sell my items, just to showoff my work. I thought a least this way family and friends on Facebook wouldn't be bombarded with my creations unless they wanted to see them. Well before i knew it i was completely booked up with orders from sept till march. I have found my true passion, yarn and a hook it just inspires me to create. In the last few months i have dipped my toes into the designing world, desining new pieces and writting patterns. I truley love it. Its so much work but seeing others create and love my patterns drives me to want to create more. Wow, it has been a crazy year. I step back now and take a look at all that I have accomplished in the span of 1 short year and I have no words. No words for the endless support of family and friends, other crochet artists and pages out there that continue to support me in what I do.
