any crocheters looking for a commission job?

[Amiable]

I've seen a gorgeous tortoise shaped crochet floor cushion, which I would love for my LOs, but don't crochet. I would be willing to buy the pattern, yarn, etc and pay for someone's time to make it up. any one up for it?

Here is a link to the pattern:
Tortoise Cushion

Thanks!

bump

That is a fab pattern!

Would having something to work towards help you start crocheting?

I am going to have a look and see if I can see any free patterns for you us

not a tortoise but I like this one

Bumping for you. I'd love to do it but just don't have the time with a baby at the moment.

now if it was knitting I'd do it.... can't crochet though

Thanks to everyone who responded.

frazzledblob - I love that crab too!

I did toy with the idea of learning to crochet so I could do it myself, but with a 6 month old DS and 5 yr old DD and a part-time job just know it's not going to happen!

I may just buy the pattern anyway, and keep looking for someone to make it up for me. any ideas of where I may find a crocheter to take up the commission?

that's fab!

our local knitting shop does thingso n commission, could yo utry one near you?

i can crochet, but only grannie squares.

I'm going to start the crab once I have got some wool in the morning (I am in love with it!)

Once I have done one for DD & DS (hoping one each will stop any fights)I would be happy to do you a crab or a tortoise.

My two are 5 and 1 so I know its hard going fitting in any time for you after work but I need that switch off time and crochet is fab as you can knock up all sorts in an evening when not on mn

Oooh, that would be fantastic frazzledblob, if you would do it for me. I will buy the tortoise pattern, and you can confirm if you are still interested when you've got the time. My email is asd2903 at hotmail dot com. Thanks!

I crochet to order. Have been crocheting for over 40 years. I can crochet from a pattern, from an already crocheted or knitted item as a guide, from a drawing, even from an idea. Let me know if you'd be interested in talking. My email is [email protected]
