I do really well at markets with the reusable cotton rounds , but I sell them individually and have a huge variety of colors. Something about letting the customer pick their favorite colors seems to work! I have these cute little paper bags and if I see someone looking through them, I hand them a bag and encourage them to pick out their faves to put in the bag.
Do your kids want everything you make/request items a lot? Mine do and while I love making them things I would like to be able to make items and do a market or try an Etsy shop.
Yes they do! They want to keep everything I make. My daughter likes to request really imaginative items too. I recently made her a mermaid cat. My son more so just likes to admire everything and compliment things. I just explain to them that the stuff I’m making is for someone else and that they can make requests for themselves. I’m really excited to teach my daughter how to crochet. She’s almost ready to learn. She is excited to get to make her own stuffed animals.
I love watching your videos and seeing what you make! Just curious, how much time do you think you spend crocheting? I want to get into selling at markets but I don’t think I have a lot of time to devote to making things at this point in my life with little kids.
I don’t get to spend as much time as I would like. Maybe 1-2 hours a day, but some days I don’t get to crochet at all. I crochet a lot in the car if my husband drives. It’s definitely hard with little kids! I have been preparing things for markets all year long. I only do a few in the fall and winter so I have the rest of the year to focus of preparing.
so many cute things!
Thank you!!
