I know everyone hates doing custom orders, and tells everyone to stay away from them. For reasons I can understand, but for me doing them has been a really positive experience. I think it’s for sure not for everybody, but find it to be a really fun experience with the right customers❤ I’ve done custom bags, wallets, plushies, keychains, ect. And each one was a blast! Thank you for posting your videos, they inspire me so much! God bless, love❤
Aww thank you so much!! I'm so glad you've had a great experience with customs :) They are sooo rewarding -- being able to bring someone's vision to life is priceless!! Thanks for all the sweet words
As usual, you never cease to amaze me. your talent and enthusiasm are out of this world!!! I always look forward to your videos. Thanks for the enthusiasm.
Hey Genna!! When I make crochet tapestry projects- I don’t cut my yarn every time I do a colour change, but I actually crochet over the yarn so that it looks tidy on both sides! Hope this helps❤❤
For your tapestry I would definitely block it and line the back. I have made quite a few graph afghans and there are ways to make the back cleaner. You should use bobbins of yarn instead of cutting the yarn with every change. It just takes practice. Also, there is another website to make graph afghans/tapestry patterns. I use Stitchboard. Don't assume the colors, that the graph programs suggested, are correct. I always have to make adjustments. The waistcoat stitch makes a beautiful tapestry project. It is a bit harder on the hands.
Loved seeing the mascot! I’d like to get to the point that I can freehand things for custom orders. That level of familiarity and knowing what will work and what won’t is a goal for me. Also! Loved the tapestry project. I want to make a stardew valley tapestry cardigan and honey… just to make a grid for the images…….THE STRUGGLE 😂😂 I shall be looking into the site you recommended!❤❤
I made a blanket that had a school mascot on it. It was very tedious. Before I crocheted each row, I went down the row and counted my stitches, adding scrap yarn everywhere I needed a color change. Maybe you could do that, and the stitch marker could be in the color you need to change to? That's an impressive tapestry piece!
Hi Genna! I love watching your videos so much! Congrats! I also have a Shopify business but I don’t know where to buy those purchase counter etc! Can you send a link?
Omg!!! What about a turtle with a water lily?? Like the water lily is already in the water then you pluck it from the water and oops it’s a turtle lol. And you could do a Violet on a shell. LOVE everything you do!!!
Hi Genna, OMG! Shay is so cute sitting in the box watching you pack boxes. Wow! your tapestry crochet is really cool. Awesome that you designed that duck? mascot. Can't wait to see the update on the dog tapestry crochet.
Can you make a second video on pattern designing? Like for intermediate to advanced aspects of pattern design: how to achieve different/odd shapes etc?
I just ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the watermelon turtle and the taupe colored sunflower turtle. And the costume bird amigurumi. Just amazing work. Amazing. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾
Hi Genna, I love the duck and yourturtles are adorable. I do the taperestry crochet also. They can get time consuming but are awsome to do. Cant wait to see the finished project.
The watermelon turtle is the cutest!! I can’t wait to see the gigantic turtle in the making! Shay wants some camera time! Lol While I edit again while I’m thinking as the Fall months approach, what about a Pumpkin Turtle? Since I love October and Pumpkins! 😂 That could be adorable!
So, about the tapestry crochet, you dont have to cut the yarn every time you color change, and to get it clean, crochet over the ends (even if they are not cut), idk how to describe it, but you can follow a tutorial called "How to do Intarsia Tapestry Crochet: Make Both Sides Clean" by CrochetCrys i make tapestries a lot since i cant buy posters for my room, its a great decor idea
My son is in the Air Force, and his squadron is the Jolly Green’s, so I used The Wonder Crochet’s Fairy pattern to make a doll sized version of the Jolly Green giant.
so i just discovered overlay mosaic crochet, its a little more involved than tapestry crochet, but omg it looks so good and theres nothing to weave in. definitely try it out some time.
The army mascot turned out FANTASTIC, it looks awesome!!! The turtles are so cute too. By the way, I learned tapestry crochet with youtube tutorials, you will get the hang of it really fast.
20.27, ive been doing graphghans for years, you need to weave the ends over the top as you go so their hidden sometimes the colours show through thats why you have bobbins, if youd like to see my graphghans let me know :)
Hi Genna! You inspired me to set up my own crochet business, but so far it hasn't been going so good. Etsy isn't making much traffic and idk how to raise it :(
That turtle is so cute I love what you doing you rock at having your online business. I’m trying to figure out how to push mine was on Shopify a few years ago but rethinking to reopen it. Just need to figure it all out it’s work though. I do craft shows here my home town only but it’s getting hard to set up and take down. I’m a very long time crocheter so I have to give you your flowers for being so great at your business you go girl and do you ❤😊
hey genna i have to make 30 mini bee for an order i have been crocheting for a while and i’m using ur pattern but i’ve never done an order this big before how should i price this
I love your crochet products! I do have a question I hope you get the chance to answer it 😅 I crochet small plushies and keychains and have always sold to family and friends, I have been wanting to get into craft fairs and selling as a full timer, I'm just not sure how to go about it, how do you do taxes with it? Also would you say it's worth getting into ? I'm afraid that I'll go into craft fairs and selling online and it turn out bad 😬😬
I have been thinking of making an oreo turtle but im bad at crocheting with dark colours. So now im asking YOU! to make one so atleast someone has fun with it!😊🍪
I was hoping you'd pick pansy as the second flower - yeah! With tapestry (2 colors) you carry the yarn you are not using, so no cutting. It's with intarsia ( 3+ colors) that you'll have many ends that'll need to be worked in - yarn bobbins will be your friend here.
The creator, BlondieKnots on UA-cam made an amazing video that even as an experienced crocheter, I learned so much from her Tapestry crochet video and great tips for color changing. Please consider watching! 💙💙 Your piece turned out so awesome though!
I love watching Genna's videos. I'm always amazed by the things she creates. But I'm curious, is it just me or does one foot of the Army mascot have 4 toes and the other foot have 5 toes?

OmG!! So cute. Everything you showed in the video. So cute.💖
Always a great day when there's a new CBG video!
A succulent turtle would be so cute. Also you could get a backing of some kind to stick on the back of the tapestry like felt or fabric.
Hi Genna,
I love the duck and yourturtles are adorable. I do the taperestry crochet also. They can get time consuming but are awsome to do. Cant wait to see the finished project.
I love your tapestry projects! i can not wait to see the dog, hope it works out great!

U should try making a human size axolotl it would be amazing
I love all of your videos they are so good your plushies are amazing I love seeing all your work come together

The watermelon turtle is the cutest!! I can’t wait to see the gigantic turtle in the making! Shay wants some camera time! Lol While I edit again while I’m thinking as the Fall months approach, what about a Pumpkin Turtle? Since I love October and Pumpkins! 😂 That could be adorable!

Hi genna you are an amazing artist, UA-camr and crocheter
I love the videos and o can’t wait to see the finished turtle ❤
I have found intarsia crochet on tapestries with many colors is soooo much easier to keep track of and WAY less ends to weave in!
Literally love you videos so much❤❤❤
I love u so much u are 1 of the 2 crochet youtubers i watch and you bring happiness to my day and a smile to my face😊keep being yourself❤❤❤❤
Who’s the other crochet artist you follow if you don’t mind me asking? Trying to follow more crochet UA-camrs
The army mascot turned out FANTASTIC, it looks awesome!!! The turtles are so cute too. By the way, I learned tapestry crochet with youtube tutorials, you will get the hang of it really fast.
Love the orchid turtle!!! Maybe a hibiscus or plumeria would also be a good addition too.
Day 3 of asking how you put on the eyes after you finish making the plushie
I love Shay so much! 😂❤

20 seconds ago? No way lol it’s crazy I’m here so early I love your videos Genna 😊❤
I love the animal crossing music plssssss do more of that 💕💕💕
I love your videos and I crocheted a bunny plush
The way that I do tapestry crochet with no tails hanging off of the back is simply crocheting over my ends as I go!
Look up Intarsia crochet. That will show you how to have the clean-ish on both sides.
I am in the UK and can’t find amisticks anywhere.. I am so dying to see your finished tapestry
Thumbs up! You are so talented. I wish you great success :)
I was hoping you'd pick pansy as the second flower - yeah!
With tapestry (2 colors) you carry the yarn you are not using, so no cutting. It's with intarsia ( 3+ colors) that you'll have many ends that'll need to be worked in - yarn bobbins will be your friend here.
What are yarn bobbins? I’ve never heard of those! Do you have a link on amazon or something I could see? 😊
🎉❤
first!!! i love your videos!!
Hi Genna I just started an Etsy shop and I’m not getting any orders do you have any tips ❤❤❤❤
Hi Genna ❤
The creator, BlondieKnots on UA-cam made an amazing video that even as an experienced crocheter, I learned so much from her Tapestry crochet video and great tips for color changing. Please consider watching! 💙💙
Your piece turned out so awesome though!
Did you put the felt on with hot glue??? 🧐
How did you secure it and is it sturdy?
OMG three minutes ago
This is the earliest I have ever been
one day genna is going to break that shopify counter, With all these orders lol
genna from al the crochet video i loved jours the most ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awww thank you so much!!!
I crochet with my friends and they have there own account but they don’t watch you but they should
If you put pipe cleaners in the wings, it will be poseable with out making the wing look strange!❤
I love watching Genna's videos. I'm always amazed by the things she creates. But I'm curious, is it just me or does one foot of the Army mascot have 4 toes and the other foot have 5 toes?
Hi Genna!!
Succulents and cactus don't need to be watered alot at all. And the jade plant only needs to be watered when the leaves start to wrinkle
How about taxes does Shopify tend to that or what do I have to do to have it correctly done
You have inspired me to start my own crochet channel, and business (i already have a channel, but im about to start a business)
