When I first started my business, I started out by When I first started my business, I started out by putting some of my items on display in my family's flower shop. It's been about ten years now, and it's so surreal to see my work in not one, but two small businesses! 

If you are looking for some crocheted toys and accessories, be sure to stop by our spaces at Expressive Avenue in Lancaster, PA and Mayfield and Company in Hamburg, PA! 

For those of you that have your own businesses, what experiences have you had with getting your items in stores?

Loving my new hook grip from @ruthlessdynamics @ru Loving my new hook grip from @ruthlessdynamics @ruthless.crochet 

I am normally a super tense crocheter, but the added length and wider base of the grip helps to loosen my tension, making it easier to crochet longer without getting tired! 

In addition to the pretty colors, I also love that the flat bottom allows the hook to stand up when it's not in use. I highly recommend trying out one of these hook grips! 

I'm using a 4.5 Susan Bates hook with my 4.5 grip :)

This trend was too cute not to do! It's amazing This trend was too cute not to do! 

It's amazing thinking back to how far this crocheting journey has taken me! While I have been crafting and selling at a small business my whole life, I didn't learn to crochet until I was in my 20's! It would be so fun to be able to go back and talk to this version of me! 

What would you tell your younger self about your crochet journey?
