About Me

Am Lucy Francis from kenya,nyeri county.I grew up in nyeri county studied in Nairobi county and now living in laikipia county. Am hard-working person.

My Business

I started this business Jan 2018 by crocheting gloves and socks and later in June advanced in crocheting shaggy mats and baby boots.I do this at home and distribute door to door selling and taking more orders. This has enabled me to cater for my bills and other necessities. I look forward to expand this business into crotcheting other items such as shawls and handbags that's why am requesting for loan.

Loan Proposal

i look forward to buy more tapestry and yarn for crotcheting. Through this loan I will be able to buy yarn in many rolls at once unlike the way I was buying one roll at a time which was expensive. Also buying tapestry for mats in bulk is cheaper and also reduces the transport cost.

I will buy yarn to tuft carpets, this will help me complete a project which has delayed for a month due to lack of funds.
Thank you so so much for making it possible for me.

Hi Lucy :-)

Thought I'd check if you'd heard of a website called Etsy by any chance?

If you don't already have one, it would be great if you could set one up... Then you could get further business from us who've found you over here on Zidisha :-)

Wishing you the very best with all your endeavours :-)

PS. Your crocheted flower seems lovely... Its always nice to see homewares made with love... We live in such a 'fast fashion' world, this made me smile.
Warmest regards, Emma from Australia...

Thank you for previous loan that helped me improve my business and learn more about crotchety.I was able to learn how to make flowers using yarn through tutorials. This time I look forward to making Valentine flowers that's why I kindly request for loan to buy more yarn.

Thankyou very much for previous loan I was able to buy yarn and mat mesh in bulk and it increased weekly profit with kenya shillings seven hundred equivalent to one hundred per day. However I have some mats waiting completion that is why I request you to give me loan to buy more yarn. Your assistance will highly be appreciated

I purpose to buy mat mesh and yarn in bulk which is cheaper unlike buying single yarn at a time this will increase my profit with five hundred kenya shillings. Thank you so so much for this loan.

i appreciate for the last loan which enabled me to buy crotchet with a hook to make the shaggy mat which is more efficient unlike the one I was using before without hook. I look forward to buy more yarn this time with your assistance of loan.
