    Avon Lady replied to Thalia's topic in Selling Crochet

    Welcome to the 'Ville! It's pretty much the same items as redrosesdz mentioned, here in Indiana. Afghans and shawls usually sell only as special orders, because of color preferences, size, etc., so we usually only have a sample of them to show, in case they want to special order something. Good luck--and remember to have fun!!

    Avon Lady replied to NanaGenie's topic in Introduce Yourself

    Welcome to the 'Ville, Donna! I'm also retired, and spend about the same amount of time crocheting each day! I teach 3 different classes for seniors and anyone who wants to learn. We make lapghans for Veterans' hospitals, and prayer shawls for our local hospice. I also make up special orders for people--that helps us with the cost of the yarn for our projects! Glad to have you join us!

    Google "granny square" for easy basic patterns. It is an easy pattern to learn. Let us know if you have any problems with it!

    We watched the solar eclipse today--I watched from our Senior Center patio, and hubby Dave watched from the George Rogers Clark Memorial, on the Wabash River. We only had 94% coverage, but it was pretty awesome! Hope we're still around for the next one--it 's supposed to be a total eclipse here then!
