Does anyone have a specialty in crochet?  email this discussion to a friend?

I have something that I have designed myself. It started in my Dungeons & Dragons playing days and the first one I made was specifically to hold dice. However, these would be great for holding coins, or marbles, whatever.
Does anyone have something they specially designed?

your coin pouch is wonderful, I do not have a talent for knitting or crocheting, It is nice that it doesn't have zippers or things to close it just a wee drawstring. excellent design, I envy your talent, perhaps you can make then and sell them at craft fairs. Robin

Thank you! I've been told they are nice. I have always loved how the beads add to these.

My biggest issue is that they take a while to make, and I couldn't justify the price if I charged for my time.

As for craft fairs, I have thought about it. Around here I'm more likely to find farmers markets. Maybe someday I'll create a website to sell them on. I don't know if I want to go that far, though.

Wow, that is amazing! I can only imagine how long it takes to make one of those!

I make a lot of hats, some of which are sort of my own design. The thing about hats is that there really isn't much creativity to the patterns--it's just the same basic idea done in slightly different ways.

What I do have fun with is stuffed animals or critters. I made a set of the characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force for a friend of mine, and my latest project is a super cute Cthulhu doll.

If you are looking for a good place to sell crafts, check out http://www.etsy.com. (Try tomorrow; the site is having problems tonight.) Most of the people who shop there are willing to pay for the time and effort that crafters put into their work.

Why, thank you.
Actually, how long it takes depends on several factors. This one is a tight weave, all single crochet, so takes longer. The beads add an hour all by themselves. I do have a couple of designs that are more open. These are better for things like dice, where you want to see what's inside.
I had heard of etsy before, but I haven't checked it out yet. I do have some stuff at a local consignment store, but we are talking small-town USA, so not much gets sold.
One thing I have noticed, is that I need to get a better camera. The one I have is only 1 megapixel, and the detail doesn't show up so well. If I'm going to sell online, I need better photos.

Its absolutely gorgeous. I am sure it took you a lot of time to complete.

I believe this particular one took about three hours of work. I put a lot of time into the design, though.

I have designed my own crochet sling bag. I just started with small projects like cellphone case and coin purses.
