Crocheting isn’t just a craft but it’s also an art. When you master the basic stitches you’ll be comfortably on your way to producing masterpieces you’ll be proud to share with your family, friends or sell on sites such as your own online website.
I opened an online shop at Moomettes Crochet Shop, where I sell artisan handmade dish cloths, boot cuffs, legwarmers, hats, beanies, soap bags and home decor. Crocheting is a stress-relieving hobby, and can also be a nice home-based business.
Ecommerce Online Store Websites
You can easily open your own online website to host and sell your products. IndieMade offers some great pricing options. So many selling venues are making absurd rules and making it so hard to keep up with changes, while charging commissions on everything from listing fees to taking a bite out of what shipping service you use. That's why it's important to have a backup plan - like your own website. After you sign up, your website is ready for you within minutes! Shop now!
One of the challenges I am facing is finding good sources of crochet yarn, ribbon and beads. Presently I source and purchase all of my craft supplies over the internet. I found that driving to local craft supply stores was very time consuming, and most of the time I didn’t find what I was looking for.
Here’s a few of my latest creations that you can find in my online shop, Moomettes Crochet Shop:
