For absolute beginners who want to learn crochet without deciphering a craft-store aisle. Three kits, free step-by-step video tutorials in every box, no fake reviews, no countdown timers — just kits. The store is built and verified in test mode; it is not open for orders yet. When it opens, kits ship from a US warehouse in 2–7 business days — the window recorded in the build, to be confirmed against the real supplier SKUs before launch.
How it works
- Pick a kit — each product page in the built store lists every single thing inside the box.
- Check out through Stripe — that is how the built store takes payment at launch, once the founder connects the store's own Stripe account. Today checkout is not armed: the store runs in test mode and no payment can be taken.
- Your kit ships from the US warehouse and arrives in 2–7 business days — the recorded plan; the exact window is confirmed against the real supplier SKUs before launch.
- Scan the QR code in the box and crochet along with the videos.
Price: $39–$69 (one-time per kit — The First Stitch Kit $39.00, The Little Friends Kit $49.00, The Everything Kit $69.00 — as recorded in the built store's catalog. The store is in test mode and is not taking orders today, and the recorded supplier costs behind these prices ($9.00, $13.00, and $17.00) are not yet verified against real CJ Dropshipping SKUs — the costs, and the prices if they move, are updated to the real SKU costs before launch. Free US shipping on orders over $50, otherwise $4.95.)
The store is built — and verified in test mode
A complete store exists today: the storefront with all three kits and their exact box contents, a working cart, a Stripe Checkout flow, an order flow that routes paid orders to the supplier module, and a password-gated admin dashboard with per-order true-margin math.
It was verified end to end in test mode — catalog, product pages, cart, checkout up to payment, webhook fulfillment (replaying a webhook creates no duplicate order), and admin login — most recently re-verified with a complete clean pass during this door's build-out. In test mode the supplier connection is a mock that logs instead of sending, Stripe is not connected, and no live payment path is armed. Nothing on this page claims otherwise.
Honest selling, by design
Every product page lists the exact box contents — count it when it arrives. There are no fake reviews, no countdown timers, and no fake scarcity anywhere in the store.
- The First Stitch Kit — $39.00: 3 skeins of yarn, 5 hooks, markers, needles, snips, tape, a 49-page guidebook, and video tutorials (scarf, coasters, headband)
- The Little Friends Kit — $49.00: 5 skeins, 5 hooks, safety eyes, stuffing, markers, needles, snips, an amigurumi guidebook, and video tutorials (bear, bunny, chick)
- The Everything Kit — $69.00: 8 skeins, a 9-hook set in a roll case, the full tool set, a project tote, a guidebook, and a 12-project video course
Where it stands — the honest state
The store is not open for orders. It stands on two founder steps, and both are still to come. First, the founder's CJ Dropshipping account and API key, with the actual kit SKUs picked from US warehouses and samples ordered first — until that step, the store has no real fulfillment connection. Second, the founder's Stripe live keys and webhook endpoint for this store's own Stripe account — until that step, no live payment can be taken.
The recorded product costs in the build ($9.00, $13.00, and $17.00) are estimates. They are not verified against real CJ SKUs, and they must be updated to the real SKU costs before launch — which is why the prices above are the built catalog's prices, stated exactly as recorded, and not final verified prices.
Today, this door does one honest thing: it takes the interest list. Joining below records your interest and, if you like, which kit you are eyeing. It does not place an order, and nothing will be charged.
The kill line, set in advance
The founder set this store's kill criteria when it was built, and they are unchanged: 60 days after launch, fewer than 100 orders or true margin under $5.00 per order → shut it down; do not scale with ads.
