    Hi There
    A warm welcome to Crochet Talk. We are so happy to have new members join. There are so many ideas that float around and information, there is something for everyone. As far as selling your work, I think that if you have local flea markets or such, that would be a good idea and on line I think we have members that sell on the Etsy site. Good luck and keep posting. Misty

    Hi chp!
    Welcome. Word of mouth and referrals hopefully will help. It's true that for the time and materials you put into them you can't sell your work to people who don't understand the value of a handmade item over a cheaply produced machine made one. I know there are people out there that do though so keep plugging!

    Chp,

    Welcome to the group! We do have several members who sell. I personally have not gotten that far. My projects are just a hobby right now.

    So, where are you from? I am from Oklahoma. I have crocheted for not sure how many years. I did take a break from it when my kids came. Recently came back to it and this group has been a BIG part of the inspiration to start again! Nice to have you.

    Have you ever thought about selling on eBay?
