Crochet is for Everyone

My husband likes to make fun of me when I sit down with my craft bag full of yarn. He makes jokes about me being 80 and needing a rocking chair, but I ignore him. I find it relaxing and therapeutic. I learned to crochet 8 years ago from a co-worker. She was originally from Portugal. She could work her stitches so fast, i would watch in amazement. She was a great teacher.

My friend Meghan and I just did our first craft show, before Christmas. We were pretty proud of ourselves. People actually bought our stuff. We decided to start making things for babies and children. Her crochet has now taken off. She has learned so many designs and patterns that she has turned it into a successful little business.

Her new venture is learning how to sell her wares on Etsy. I actually discovered Etsy from a friend a few years ago. She was making jewelry and selling it there. The website has really taken off and is a go to place for people shopping for unique gifts.

It is the perfect answer for Meghan. She is an artist, literally. She has a degree in art. Crochet has become one other way for her to express herself. So I encourage you to look her up on Facebook as The Stitchin Fox as well as at http://www.etsy.com/people/thestitchinfox
