If you think crochet is an industry on its way out, think again. Crocheters are as busy as neuro-surgeons, organic fruit growers, and fencing champions. They also share one thing in common with writers. It has to do with the words “submission guidelines.”
The efforts of Ms. Kinsler and other crocheters who went on to form different organizations and councils have not been in vain. Crochet is very much alive in America and there’s a demand for patterns that perseveres to this day.
As more crochet collectives form, more newsletters and magazines - not to mention e-zines and bulletin boards and community forums - are asking crocheters to send in their patterns. According to one crochet entrepreneur, there is a sustained demand for wearable crochets and crochet projects that incorporate some beading work and knitting. Granny squares and baby merchandise are fine and still have a huge following, but the new trend seems to be veering towards wearables.
Afghans were a favourite of many, and may not be the # 1 item on a crocheter’s shopping list these days, but if the afghan has a unique pattern and displays an uncommon design and non-conventional style, crocheters can still submit their afghan ideas.
This is how the submission process works: a call for submission is published, usually in crochet magazines and e-zines. A good number of these publications have a section exclusively for guidelines. The publication will state its preferences as to the kinds of patterns they’re looking for. They’ll say “wearables” if these are what they are targeting, and the guideline will say something like “any wearable from classic to modern to hip, as long as it’s fun to wear and fun to crochet.”
Competitive rates are offered, and some will even offer to have your picture and your product published. So that they don’t mislead any contributors, some will add a line saying that they are currently not interested in baby clothes at the moment.
