Make more crochet patterns and drive traffic to my online shop

chaiinchomp Craft and Cosplay DK30 Quarantine 2020 7 5

Description

Recently I started designing my own crochet patterns and selling them online. So far I haven’t had a lot of traffic and have only made two sales. I want to drive more traffic to my shop by: 1. Increasing my stock; and 2. Improving my online presence with a blog and instagram that will direct more people to my shop

Recent Updates

Well, I ended up not updating this for the whole 30 days… BUT I was still working on it! I was just pretty busy and didn’t have time for writing updates.

I didn’t get as much done as I’d hoped, but here’s what I did get done:

I created a crochet blog! --> https://chaiinchompcrafts.blogspot.com/
I designed and crocheted a Blink Dagger plush!
I wrote a blog post about it and shared the pattern I designed --> https://chaiinchompcrafts.blogspot.com/2020/05/dota-2-blink-dagger-plush-crochet.html

Overall maybe this wasn’t my most productive DK30, but this Blink Dagger pattern turned out to be really freaking difficult and I spent SO MANY hours attempting and unraveling rows of crochet before I got it how I wanted it. It was a bit bigger than I expected… but I’m pleased with the end result.
