Today wraps up the first week of my posts of crochet job leads. I’m learning a lot. I’ve gotten some good sources for leads although I still hope to find more and I’d like to see people using the advertise tool to let my readers know about the crochet help that they need. I’ve learned to check some links more carefully because one lead I thought was good turned out to require a fee to access the full job post. But mostly it’s going well and I think it’s just going to get better with time. I hope you’re finding these posts useful.
Here are the featured posts for today.
Featured Crochet Job
Call for Crochet Patterns
The ad says: “Are you an active crafter? Do you have your own Crochet Patterns? We are publishing a book on crochet patterns and are looking for people to submit or develop patterns for the book. We will pay per pattern for the rights to use the pattern in our book and you will receive recognition as the designer within the book as well.” More info here. Σημείωση: You’ll want to email for more info to make sure that this one is legit because it doesn’t have a lot of details in the ad. I’ve just sent an email myself and will let you know if I learn more.
