Chic Crocheted Goods - for Charity!


By Caramel Onion (Visit website)






As many of you know, crocheting is one of the many domestic activities I love. As many of you may also know (sorry, Gretchen, that I gave you a half finished rug for Christmas; I swear, I'm finishing it), I struggle with finishing projects.

Which is why I was so impressed when I saw that Kati Mora, an old middle school friend, had started her own web-based crocheting business with her mom. Not only does she START projects involving brightly colored dishcloth sets, purses, blankets and scarves - she FINISHES them, and publishes them all on her Etsy store and corresponding blog. And she would probably kick my ass in a crochet death match.

Kati and her mom have only been doing this since June, but they already have over 100 Facebook Fans (become one now!) and a wonderful selection of pretty handmade things. Plus, 15% of all proceeds go to a charity organization chosen annually (this year it's Postpartum Support International).

I'm not normally (ever, so far) motivated enough to dedicate a post to a business, but Kati's venture is ambitious and admirable, and my small but dedicated army of readers should go to her site. And buy something. And comment on her blog. And become Facebook fans. And tell their friends. Now!

Here's her store: www.hooksofhope.etsy.com

Thanks, readers.

BTW, the Mojo is getting a major facelift. That's right, folks, this is going to become a real, bona fide blog with a domain name and everything - there might even be graphics. The Mojo's name is changing to Caramel Onion and will focus mainly on my favorite (and therefore the easiest) topic: food. With an occasional film review thrown in for fun (District 9: a pat on the back for Pete Jackson, but I would only recommend this movie for women trying to impress their boyfriends/husbands. Lesbians, don't bother.)

Caramel Onion. Tell your friends.
