I have been a bit of slacker with my blog the last couple days. I was on a crochet frenzy! I even put my working out on a back burner to get some more items crocheted before the craft show this morning. I would call my first craft show a success! I only sold 3 of the 8 sets of dish cloths I made but that is great considering how new I am to this. Not to mention we didn't have as much traffic this year.
I believe two things contributed to our craft show not having as much traffic this year. The weather was rainy and just plain yucky! Who wants to venture out in the rain! Our community was having their Heritage Day Celebration today as well. They too had vendors and what not so I am sure that didn't help. I definitely have to start crocheting early this year so I can have lots more to sell next year and have a bigger variety of things.
I only did dish cloths this year because they come together quickly and are pretty simple to make. I love making all sorts of things though I hesitate to make things people wear. I can do hats and scarves alright but need to learn gauging before I can make things like baby cloths and what not. I can make baby booties too. I wish I had stuck with crocheting as a girl. I could be so much more advanced right now if I had.
I am happy I have gotten back into it though. It is very relaxing and fun! The only time I really get frustrated is when my yarn get twisted/tangled. I figure the sets of dish cloths I didn't sell I can either gift to family member or sell to others who may be interested. I am keeping a few for myself as well. I have heard they are great because they are abrasive enough to remove heavy soil but soft enough not to scratch up your dishes/pot and pans.
Well thanks for reading and please feel free to suggest blogs that you think I may like. Have a great weekend! =)
Live to Love,
Heather
