I love to crochet my fav is doing the granny squares as they are easy to work with but when it is time to put them together then there is a problem I have been making these blankets for about 10yrs now and I sell them on E-Bay and Etsy how many of you like to crochet and how many of you sell your completed work

I love to make handmade stuffs, not crochet though, but papercraft, but it's so fun to make some arts from your hand and creativity....I haven't sold any of my handmade stuffs but people do love it when I give one to them....I'm not good with selling something......Although it's so good to be able to make money from something you enjoy

I learned to crochet when I was 16yrs (many yrs ago) and the person that taught me was a lefty too so it is backwards and i hold my needle completely different from the way she does too oh well the product comes out good in the end

sorry the granny squares didn't work out for you but maybe another design is for you. I love it when soneome buys a blanket I guess it is the feeling of accomplishment I think I will crochet until I am 90yrs

Recently I have started to crochet even I have learned it long before. Now I am learning through internet and searching patterns there to find something new everytime. Also this is the time I am learning it properly and doing something creative. It is so fun to crochet. I wish to learn granny squares well. My work in granny square would go in the other form than a square lol.

I use to love to crochet when I was a child with my mum, making blankets for the bed.As I got older I use to make dog blankets and sell them to people in a village where we lived.
I have not crochet in years, but I do remember all the winters that we all sat making blankets together as a family, as well as those hook rugs for the floors.

I love crochet too, I just started learning how to crochet last year but I like it so much, I've spent half of my online earnings to buy yarns and craft supplies. I've made several items for myself, some are for sale, some are gift for family and friends.
My favorite is making flower brooches and baby's hat.
I agree that granny squares are easy but I dont have the patience to make a lot of them and to sew them as large blanket, I usually joined my granny squares to be hand bag. I also added my granny squares on top of dress.
I never sold my completed work on Ebay or Etsy, my friend owns a shop and she sold my items for me and next january I will open my own shop too.
