Hi everyone   I’m Wendy.

This is my very first blog post! I started my blog in the hope it would get my brand, ‘Cotton Crochet Forever‘ a little more well-known. I enjoy crocheting very much, but to continue without it all piling up around me, I need to make a bit of an effort for others to see what I have in the hope they might like to buy what I have to offer. 

I also thought the whole writing thing may serve to be a bit therapeutic for me as well. 

Aside from loving to crochet, I the fact that there are people out there who are happy to part with some of their hard-earned money for something I personally made.
I love the yarn buying, the crocheting, the online listing, hanging out with my fellow marketeers, even the photography when it works out well. Social media can definitely be a bit of a chore though .

I take a lot of care with the items I make, and I try to choose yarns and patterns that I would be happy to have for myself.

I tend to favour cotton and cotton blend yarns, because they are a great fibre for home wares and I love the finish they give, but I’m also happy working with premium acrylics for colder weather items like beanies and scarves.
I haven’t really used yarns made from animal fibres much, but do look forward to trying them at some point in the future.

For now I make a variety of homewares and items useful around your home, ladies and unisex accessories and some fun stuff for the kids, but I am considering narrowing that down to more home related stuff.
(Let me know what you think of that idea in the comment section below )

As I post more I will give you more details about each item.

I’m very new to the whole blogging thing, so will work it out as I go. It’s been a bit hard going…. but I’m working it out and I’m definitely learning new things  (that has to be a good thing, right!)

For now I hope to keep you up to date with

• what I’ve been making,
• what and where you can purchase from,
• For those that love to crochet or are developing a love for it, I’ll share details on stitches, patterns and my thoughts on different yarns and anything else I imagine might be somewhat of interest .
