My latest crochet projects

I am currently working on several things....dishcloths ( easy to do), my slouch hats and also thinking of going back to my old staple, crochet socks for girls, which is actually crocheted beading around the sock edges.  I called this first crochet venture " Sassy Socks" and they sold quite well at the preschool I was working at in Chicago.
I am really in need of extra income and while I don't think crocheting is going to be the answer, it (crocheting) does relax me and allows me time to think over my problems.
I don't have an audience, so I can pretty much use this blog and think. I will post some of my projects as I complete them.  Please feel free to comment.

My love for crochet

So I love to crochet!!  I am great at making afghans, hats and scarves. I love making granny squares!! My current projects include slouch hats, which is very popular for my friends with dreadlocks and braids, I am attempting to learn how to crochet earrings as well.
 There is so much to crochet and so little time to do it with having a fulltime job. But at the end of a busy day, I enjoy picking up my hooks and creating beautiful things.
I will post pictures of my work soon and also will have links from some of the patterns. ( I am not creative enough to make my own patterns yet).
I would love to be able to sell my work and need to come up with my " hooker" name.  Any suggestions??
