I have been reading up a lot on the viability of such a business opportunity. I don’t really know if I want to crochet for profit officially. I am scared of the volume. I am also worried that the products will be hot to start with and then die down to nothing. I would be left with lots of product and no buyers. That has happened to me before. Enthusiastic beginnings with sad ends do not suit me. I have only one business venture that continues to pay out at this moment… but I really need to make some more income somewhere. Crochet takes a lot of time and care. Do I have the time to make such a commitment? If I start with many customers and orders, will that continue on? Will I make what my product is really worth? *sigh* Signs point to no on a lot of those counts… but I could try it just once and see what happens, right?

I haven’t stopped yet. I am actually working on a large project…a blanket. I have a great idea for it, but I need to hit up the store for more yarn soon. I hate not being able to just get on with it. I have to wait till tomorrow to go to the store, though. I want to go alone, so the husband has to be home with the kid. Crochet has become my drug treatment of choice. It helps to placate my nerves.

Hey I thought that since I have been doing more and more crafts, I should give them a place among the blogs. And so, http://www.stitchwhimsy.com has been born. Please take a look at it and tell me what you think!

Oh yes! I have been busy busy busy this week. True, the online craft club has helped to spur me onward. Within 3 days I made a hat, a purse, and a cell phone case. I am now working on a scarf in a different color than the hat I just made.

I also went and purchased 5 new skeins of yarn yesterday. All those, plus the ones my mother was so generous as to share with me, are here:

TEEHEE!!! If anyone has any good groups or tutorials for learning to crochet more complex patterns and such, please do share. I have the basics down, but now I want to tackle something more challenging.
