Crochet tips
Yeah, I guess it will be helpful to tell everyone some tips for anyone who wants to turn crocheting into a mini business
I myself had struggles at first. But now, I can say that I can sell and gain back profit. I want to share with you some of tips on crocheting and in selling those beanies.
- Crochet anywhere. As I’ve told you in my previous blog, I do crochet whenever I sit. I even crochet in jeepneys on the way to the university. It saves up time and boredom. Besides, for me it is more effective than giving a schedule or exact time for crocheting. If you don’t assign a specific number of hours on crocheting and just do it every time you can, it will slowly be a part of your life.
- Use the end of the yarn found in the center of your ball. if you love crocheting, maybe you turn your yarn into a ball or something. For me, it is easier not to do that but find the center and start using it. It won’t roll that way and it will prevent your yarn from being dirty.
- Buy in bulk. if it is just a really small business, you might not think this is advisable. But for me, it is. When I was starting I buy one two pieces. But now, I realized it is better to buy 5-10 pieces of the same color. Especially in the Philippines where 8ply yarn are hard to find. You can save more if you buy more yarn. Besides, if you have excess yarn for one project, save it and the next thing you know, the project you’re working into don’t cost anything.
- Boost confidence. Young generation nowadays rarely know how to crochet. That is why when someone sees me, a student, crocheting, they praise me for it because they say, I’m doing the right thing. So, yeah, I encourage you to boost your confidence because crocheting is not a bad thing. In fact, it is a good thing. So get your hook and show off those crocheting skills.
- Use social media. honestly, this one is on my experimental stage. I started a Facebook page, fb.me/MyCrochetedWorld/ and still trying to gain likes. I hope it will succeed.
I guess that’s all. I’d just edit this post if I think there’s more
Anyways, don’t hesitate to leave a comment if you want to say something.
Love lots.
