Long forgotten Craft?

Post by Knikitta »

I think not. Crochet and Knitting is still going strong in our family.

Well, as this Forum section denotes, this is for everything non-gardening... and apart from the fact I make hats and gloves for walks down to the lottie... I have taken the plunge and set up an online business!

After two years of no help what-so-ever from ANY financial company, and saving a few pound here and there a week from my housekeeping, I have done it all on my own!

So if you have a spare two minutes, please take a look at my online Yarn store! )t'

Going to take a look, I am not the most talented knitter but I have to have some on the go, stems back from nursing night duty. Made a few things to sell at car boot sale later.

All are 100g except Aran which is 400g... it should state that on the site!

Edit: Changing them all now... only 200+ products to do! :P

Ah, I have none in stock yet, but I am working as hard as possible to get some.

I can only buy it when people buy yarn, as more people buy, I can get more stock in! )t'

Thank you Linda!

It's painfully slow going at the moment, but the more customers we get, the more yarns we can stock so hopefully with another few sales we can start getting the much wanted Aran in! :D )t'

It is very satisfying knowing that we did it all on our own though.
