So How About A Little Publicity for Myself

Travel, photography, food, job hunting. Yea this post isn’t going to be about any of that.

Instead how about a little publicity for myself.

So here we go, a little anecdote to start. My freshman year of college I lived in Denver, Colo. Long story short, I was bored, lonely and needed something to occupy my time. (In comes boyfriend). The boyfriend then suggested I learn to crotchet; that way he benefited with beanies and I had something to do.

A couple books, YouTube Videos, and cheap supplies later and I was a crocheting genius.

Fast-forward to today and the crocheting continues.

From beanies, scarves and headbands, friends and family began requesting these items, enabling me to spend hours upon hours going through the loop and pull motion with yarn and hook in hand.

During this past Christmas break, the boyfriend’s brother requested that I put together a collection of my headbands so that he could sell them at their family store. At first I thought he was kidding and couldn’t believe that he was willing to take a chance on my hobby. However after talk of business, hours of work, supplies and profit began to fill the air, it was decided that I would produce a total of 16 headbands that would be displayed and sold at Pacific Ace Hardware in Vacaville, Calif.

A week, being called a 90 year old woman, and sore thumbs later, my first collection of work is complete, ready to disburse into the hands of customers. It is time for me to throw myself to the consumer, open to judgment and criticism.

So here they are, the finished product. Have a look, make a request, or take a trip to the hardware store. Whatever the case may be, let me just say how proud I am of my collection and hope others will like them as much as my friends and family do.
