lock and chain

Look at this cute idea! http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-crochet-a-yarn-lock-and-chain-scarf/

It's a crocheted lock and chain! Would be a fun addition to a Valentine, anniversary, or birthday present.
I think I will try to make it into a zipper pull as well.

new project

Hi, crafty friends! How's it going?

Last week I made my first CrochetCrafts sale.... exciting!

And that first customer is referring friends. I can't wait to get more orders.

In the meantime, I'm working on a new project this weekend.
Can you guess what it might be?
Here's a little clue:

New Etsy Shop!

It's HERE!
Hooray! :)

My New Etsy Shop is now open for business. It has the same name as the blog, so hopefully it will be easy for people to remember. I am slowly taking pictures and listing items, so if you don't see what you're looking for right now, check back again soon. https://www.etsy.com/shop/CrochetCraftsNC

If you do look at the shop, please comment here and tell me which is your favorite item.
Thanks for stopping by!
