Who do you crochet for

[CLLinda]

I crochet gifts and for charity.

 

I do the same. I make gifts for special people I know, and then I make a lot of things for charities. It is very rewarding, even though I don't know who receives the gifts. I just know I am helping someone less fortunate than myself.

 

And when I make things for preemies, I know I am helping a little one get a start in life.

 

And when I make a burial gown, I know I am helping out a family whose little one became an angel. It gives the family something to help remember this baby whose life was too short. I think this is the greatest gift someone could give.

I do all three, but I guess that I have sold more things than I have made for myself or made as gifts.

[IdleHands]

I voted "myself" because it's my therapy.

 

The end product sometimes I keep, sometimes I give away. None of it is sold.

mostly for charity

[Lesalicious]

Myself, kids, mom, sisters, a couple of friends.

[ArielManx]

Of all the things I've made so far, I've only kept two items - a scarf (my first project ever) and a dishcloth. Everything else has been given as a gift. I have yet to try to sell anything.

[misssmaggie]

Gifts for others...items for sale...myself.

[justvicki]

I don't have a single thing that I've made and kept for myself! However, I have two works in progress that will change that!

[Trinket]

I really should be trying to sell more of what I make than I end up doing. Seems like most of my work ends up given as gifts!

I crochet for myself, mostly, but I also give as gifts and sell my projects. So I just clicked on a dot.

[salos]

Mostly as gifts. ... I crochet too much to keep it all to myself

 

Me, too. The house can only handle so many afghans.

[all4missions]

Most of what I make is for my daughter in one form or another. I am making a few things currently for her personally, but most stuff is sold for her mission's fund.

 

I am currently making her a rug for her soon-to-be dorm room and a sweater. I made her an afghan for Christmas. I make ponchos, hats, aghans, potholders, shawls, and especially purses, etc. to sell at craft shows.

i mainly crochet gifts and for charity. i am currently working on my first ever project just for me!

[Buttercup]

I used to crochet and give it away for gifts, but most people I know don't

need much of anything so I now crochet for charity and am loving it!!

In the winter I donate hats, mittens and scarves. Then all year round I make

hats for newborns and preemies and donate them to hospitals. We also make

lap afghans and donate them to Veterans Hospitals and Nursing Homes. But

most of all Crocheting and spending time here is my therapy!!

I love to crochet gifts.

[CrochetDad]

99.9% of the time I give my creations away to friends or family. I actually sold a baby afghan to a lady my daughter was babysitting for and was admiring the blanket I made for my granddaughter:

 

She asked if I would make one for her to give as a baby shower gift. I worked all weekend to get it ready by the shower.

 

She was delighted!

[Tinamah]

I would have to say I have made the most for my daughter, Barbie and baby doll clothes. Then probably myself, my mom and grandmother would come next.

[alibra]

I give a lot of my crochet as gifts, baby gifts mostly..and one wedding afghan for a king size bed, my fingers still ache...

[Crafty Witch]

Mostly, I crochet for myself. I've started a few projects for charity, but have yet to finish any.

[Tampa Doll]

Actually, everything (small) goes into the computer room to be photographed and never see the rest of the house again. lol

Dh claims everything I make.

[Cotton Candee]

I mostly crochet to sell now, unfortunately, my etsy shop hasn't sold anything yet! LOL but then, I crochet for myself but the items I sell...

[alibra]

Everyone...Anyone who asks, and some who don't lol, seriously of late my beautiful new grandson!

[ambsax]

I voted that I crochet for myself, but that's only because I'm still a beginner and my stuff isn't nice enough to give as gifts .... yet ... I'm looking forward to making some homemade Christmas gifts this coming holiday season.

[tlisley]

LOL, there should have been an option that said " I crochet, therefore I am" or better yet, "I am, therefore I crochet!"

[angt]

I give them ALL as gifts. The only thing I have made the benefits me is the King size Afghan I made for my husband. Took me 3 years to make it (ya know the other projects that come up). But well worth it. He loves it. Its always always ALWAYS on the bed. When people see it, the cant believe I made it.
