When it comes to determining how much stock to bring to a craft fair, there really isn’t a foolproof formula. Having too much stock can leave you with leftovers that might be hard to sell once the season is over. Plus, you’ll have to find somewhere to store these items until next year. Having too […]

Amanda

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by! I’m Amanda, the crochet addict behind-the-scenes. I was always interested in crafting and being creative. One day I decided to learn how to crochet. I was instantly drawn to crochet and thought it was incredible how you could make something out of yarn and a hook. I guess you can say I’ve been ‘hooked’ ever since. Feel free to email me at amandacrochets@yahoo.com with any questions.
