Its been a while that I was not able to make crochets but now im reviving it to help my boardmate raise money for her classes on entreprenership. she has decided to sell and mark up items that i make. Its good that I was able to have stocks on crochet wallets and its also a blessing that I have kept them, she already sold a good number of them and already have orders.
Its tiring but its also something that helps me cope with tension and stress. I consider crocheting as a stress exercise, it really makes me more patient as I slowly make it stitch to complete an item.
Have a nice day my friend and take care!
happy mylotting.

Hi there Zelmarq!
That's really nice of you. If they are able to sell that fast and have orders in line, your creations are really good, then. I don't know how to crochet but my aunt is really good with it. What I love most about the things that she do is the bolero that she gave me and also pouches for cellphones.

Yeah, it is. That's why I love it so much because I know how hard it is to make one and it really makes me feel special that my aunt made one for me.
Thank you very much for choosing my post as the best response.

My mom used to make crochet. She thought me but I was never that patient and I feel bored easily LOL
I'm glad that you found a nice way to cope with stress and tension. I always think that we should always use the coping mechanisms that really work for us, and they can be very different from person to person.
Have a wonderful weekend:)

Hi ZelMarg. I studied crochet back when I was in my high school years. That was 10 years ago. I know the feeling of finishing an item, especially if you make it good and nice. It is a happy feeling of fulfillment.
Now, I plan to make a new one but when I tried I already forgot some things that I have learned. I also lost my notebook of patterns. But I am looking in the internet to learn more and I can recall some things I have forgotten.
Keep crocheting and I hope you can earn more with your hobby. Maybe you don't know you can have a business out of your products.

Hi Zelmarq, 
I'm sure the wallets are lovely. I really like crocheted items too, and I actually made myself a vest when I was a teen. Do you crochet other items as well?
It's a great idea to help your friend, and I hope it's a big success, in raising the money she needs.
You have a nice day too. Take care.

That is very nice... making money and helping a friend by doing something that relaxes you... that is like the perfect activity... since we are in the Christmas season... the crochets you are making can be the perfect gift... affordable but classy...
You might want to turn that into a small business someday... you can help out a lot of people with that kind of work...
