fantastic offer!!
Thanks Zoe. Enjoy.
I bought the pattern writing book last month, but I did not know about the Hooking for Cash, so of course I had to enter. Thanks for your efforts to help our efforts not fall flat. I know I appreciate it.
Becky, When I released the Pattern book I pulled the Hooking for Cash book because I was going to add it to Amazon. Since I have to reformat some of the images and tables in the book I thought this would be a perfect time to give it as a gift.
I have been considering starting an etsy business. Any guidance would be very helpful. Thanks for this opportunity.
Susan, here is a post Michelle Gallagher wrote for Crochetbusiness.com – 10 Things you should know before you open an Etsy shop . Michelle is also able to help you setup your shop and will even list your products, write descriptions, and edit photos.
Handmadeology.com is another fantastic Etsy-centered site. Etsy.com is of course a great place to start. What exactly would you like to know?
I would love to have these books. I always wanted to crochet all day for a job.
Dyana, good luck with the giveaway.
