Thanks for hanging out in today’s vlog!:) What other behind the scenes do you want to see while I prep for my upcoming shows!?💖⬇️
How to deal with pre market anxiety (especially starting out) unless maybe you’ve mentioned that before then I’ll find it if so because need that 😅😅
Could you do a "how much can I crochet in 1 hour" video or any amount of time.
I am living for these longer videos!❤🎉 ooff this video is so timely! OMG THE CHICKEN ARMY IN THE BACKGROUND YES GIRL!
The chicken army only seems to grow 😂😂 I'm glad you're liking the longer-form videos! I really enjoy making them!
Right!? I can just picture Camryn walking across her backyard with a long line of fuzzy chickens following behind! lol
I honestly don't think you should price down that baby cardigan!! It's worth more than 46$, the right person will come along ❤
Thank you! I love holding onto the cardigan for many reasons! Perhaps one day I'll clearance it, but for now I think it acts as a wonderful display piece to draw people in!
I've got my first market coming up in September, and I am very nervous and excited for it! This video has definitely helped me come up with a couple ideas for how I want to go about things, and your market prep challenge might be a good idea for me!
I'm so excited you have your first market coming up! As you get closer, never hesitate to reach out with any questions! And I'm so excited to do the challenge with you, if you sign up (which you totally should???)
I love that it can still be analog as well as digital. You sold me on your fun, yet direct market prep plan! Thanks for all the energy that you have!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you've found my system valuable! ❤️
I’ve got a kerchief that I am working on. This really helps and I’ll be looking st what I have for the fall and winter times.
That's great! I'm glad I'm able to help you plan for the busy colder seasons! I'd love to see the kerchief sometime 😊
I absolutely love this. You have helped me so much in building my crochet business! Thank you for these videos ❤
Thank you for your kind words ❤️ I am so glad I can play a part (however small) in your growing success and passion!
Love watching your videos. I used to crochet when I was your age but life got in the way 😢. I took early retirement and started crocheting again. You're enthusiasm is so contagious and you have inspired me to do craft shows again. It's been ~25 years. Oh yeah I almost forgot, I'm working on a beanie.
Thank you so much for the kind words! :) ❤️ It's so incredible you've been crocheting for such a long time! You must have so much wisdom to share, and I'm grateful to have you be part of this community :)
And what color beanie are you making??
Your energy is amazing! I sat here and worked on a watermelon wind spinner to go with a sunflower wind spinner I made for my mom for her birthday. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you for the kind words! And wow those sound awesome! I'd love to see them when you're all finished! And happy belated birthday to your mom!! ❤️
Just started the video but have to say....I love the speckled gray yarn chicken!! So adorable!
The chickens are just too adorable! I've only started making them relatively recently, but they're already one of my favs to make!
@@camryns_cute_creations I do not know how to crochet and I live in Sandpoint, ID so I will have to try and find you this fall and get one! That's my fave chicken style.
Love the longer video format! I'm currently working on your beanie pattern with Bernat Velvet. I'm trying them with several different size hooks to see which one works best with my tension to get the right size. So far the 3 I have done are too big, so I'm trying an even smaller hook. Fingers crossed!
I'm glad you're enjoying the pattern! Let me know how the different sizes work out, and I'd love to see some pictures of the hats you make! ❤️
loved this video! Great tips for market prep and a little behind the scenes so fun :)
I love showing y'all the behind the scenes! ❤️
Thank you for your videos! They are encouraging and helpful. Also, please tell your husband that we appreciate seeing him helping you. My husband has helped me set up, take down, and has kept me from getting distracted by all of the yarn.
That's so wonderful that your husband helps you!! :) Always so glad to hear about y'all's supporters!
Okay me again lol … I have been making pumpkins on my addi (46 and smaller 22) I hold 2 stands of yarn together super cute and I can make all sizes very quickly 😘
That's so awesome! I'd love to see some of them! ❤️
Working on some fluffy scrunchies!!! It's always so fun watching your yt videos Camryn!
Thank you so much! I'd love to see some of your scrunchies sometime!❤️
Oh, Honey! You are such a joy to watch. Your positive energy and genuine love for doing what you do is so inspiring. I would give anything to have that kind of energy. I, too, have several shows on the calendar. I have a total of 8 between now and the end of the year, with 4 of those being 3-day events. I am definitely going to sign up for the challenge. Much love to you, sweet girl!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It sounds like you have a busy closing third of the year!
Love how you plan things. I need to get that planner.
The planner is a huge help! If I don't have a plan for something, I feel so lost 😂😂
I just love your energy and how organized you are in your business. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the kind words! :)
I loved this video so much I watched it twice?
Oh my gosh 😂😂 I'm glad you loved it! I love hanging out with you through my videos! ❤️
I love a market vlog!
Those are so fun! I have a couple already on the channel, but I'll definitely be making some more as we go into this Fall season!
I posted recently on another one of your videos how I have my first craft fair coming up and I'm so grateful for all your videos, but I just wanted to say it again! You're so much fun to watch and The advice that you give really is invaluable! Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️My entire goal is to be as helpful as possible!
This video is the PERFECT companion to the market prep planner that I got from your site. I’m still freakin out about my first market but thanks you, I feel excited and prepared. Miss Cam, you are truly a blessing ❤… glad we got to see hubby too 😊
I'm super excited about your first market, too!! I am happy you feel so prepared 😊 and I'm happy I've helped in the small way I could!
@@camryns_cute_creations definitely not small 🤗
Working on your velvet beanie pattern! 💜 so excited to see more market blogs and prep videos. Just signed up for the market prep challenge too!
yay!~~ i'm super excited to do the challenge with you!
Lots of good tips here, and I love the energy you bring to your videos! 💙 My current WIP is a daisy granny square pillow cover, almost done!
Thank you so much for the kind words! ❤️ I'd love to see the pillow when it's all done!
Omg I had my first ever sale and my first custom order 🎉🎉🎉
Oh my gosh, that is so exciting!!! 😍 I am super excited for you and super proud of you! ❤️
I've been watching a ton of your videos while I prep for my first market (tomorrow!!!), and Im loving the ever increasing pile of chickens behind you lol
Your first market is tomorrow???? I am so excited for you!! 😍😁😎 Please let me know how it goes!
I made a lot of the chickens for my last market and they did so good!! I'm making a lot of turtles and jellyfish this week, I made a couple for my last market and they sold out so fast!
Oh my gosh, little turtles and jellyfish sound so cute! No wonder they sold out! I'd love to see them when they're finished! ❤️
I watched this as I was working on orders of my own!! Thank you for the great video & for keeping me company :)
Thank you for hanging out with me in the video! I hope I can always provide good videos and content for you guys! ❤️
Your videos are fabulous and so helpful! I've just discovered your channel and am completely blown away with your content. Thank you for doing these videos ❤
❤️❤️❤️ I'm so glad you've come over and started hanging out with us all! :)
I'm at $730 ish lol. More than double what I made at my best show last year so feeling ready for my show on Sunday.
I'm so excited for you! Let me know how your show goes!
@@camryns_cute_creations it was a beautiful day. They had traffic but mainly lookers. I sold 2 baby cows and a baby cat. I got to hang out with my friends and it was free. So not a total loss but won't be trying it again. Next show is the 12th sounds like a big one too.
I just got 4 more of my flower bookmarks done while watching this video!
That's awesome! I'd love to see what they look like!
There was no ending video link 😖. Probably because I literally watched this video 40 minutes after you posted it 🤣. I wish we lived closer (I'm in GA), I think we'd be great friends. I love your energy. Stay stress free and happy! I'll see you in the next video 🩵.
P.S. I bought your Pricing Sheet and it's a total game changer. Thank you so much for creating that. I'm also excited to purchase this planner you've created.
I think we'd be friends too!! And I'm so glad you're enjoying the Calculator ❤️❤️ I'll pass on the good words to my husband because he was a big part of making it too! ❤️ If you like the Calculator, I think you'll love the Planner as well!
I'm doing my first ever market in August!! You've helped me so much, I wouldn't even be doing this if it wasn't for you!! Thank you so much Camryn! 😊
I am so excited for you! I am happy I have been a part of your journey up to this point, and I hope I can continue to help in the future! ❤️ As you approach your first market, never hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have! And please let me know how it goes!
@@camryns_cute_creations I will! Thank you so much!!
So many chickens! Loved this video Camryn. 😊 I am working on my first velvet beanie using your pattern and I'm loving it.
Awwww yay! I’m so glad you love the video and the pattern:)
Also, love your hair 😍😍
Thank you so much! ❤️
OMG! Congrats on 10k! Also, I signed up for the August market prep challenge! I'm SUPER excited!
Thank you so much! And I am so excited for the Challenge! Can't wait!
Camryn can u please show us your amigurumi collection. Is that a cow? Its so cuteeeeee!
I will definitely have to show y'all my collection! And yes, that is a pink cow! It was a gift from my friend and has a permanent spot overlooking my whole work space! ❤️ What's in your collection??
Wow I’m sold on the market planner. I’m working on coffee cozies (or can fit a canned drink too)
I feel with getting more yarn😂😂
Oh my gosh 😂 there's simply never enough yarn! 😁
My goodness!! Your inventory is IMPRESSIVE!!😲 How many shows do you do per year, and more importantly... how many hours per day do you crochet to keepnso well stocked!!?? Or do you gave hidden pairs of hands? 😂😂
I usually do about 30 full days a year! (VERY seasonally.) And honestly I'd say I crochet about 2-3 hours a day on average!
I’m making a floor length, long sleeved mesh dress!
Ooooo sounds so pretty! What color is it??
Love your vdos. Do you have a tutorial of how to make the pom pom that you put on your baby hats?
Hey! I actually buy all my pom poms! Here's the affiliate links for the exact ones I use!:
Black: amzn.to/3hpGRJa
White: amzn.to/41xTRiE
Brown: amzn.to/3Y6w720
I'm the same the burn out if l have to much structure. Finding a medium right now
Finding a good balance is the best approach!
Do you have a pattern for the bear hats or baby booties? Also, I really love watching your market pret videos while I prep too! Right now I’m making roses. Makes it go much quicker. 🥲🫶🏻
Hey! Neither of those patterns are mine, but I'd love to share their links :)

Booties: crobypatterns.com/crochet-baby-booties-in-15-minutes-or-less/
@@camryns_cute_creations thank you so much for passing the patterns along. Really appreciate your content! ☺️
I love your energy! What pattern do you use for your baby blankets?
Those are a pattern I made! I’ll have to write it up:) so glad you love the videos!💖
OMG those larger white pumpkins on the left!!! What pattern and yard is that? Is it velvet? 😍
Hey there! The yarn I'm using is Bernat velvet! And I have a whole video going over the pumpkin pattern here!: ua-cam.com/video/XN41AstMqdM/v-deo.html
Love love love your energy and videos!! Do you have a link for a pattern for the hats? I love them!!
Hey there! Can I ask which hats you are referring to specifically? I'd love to share the link with you! 😁
@@camryns_cute_creations awww thank you!! The ones with the furry Pom Poms :)
Loving your videos💜 is there a way to get your patterns for some of your items? I’d love to give them a try. I’m not a social media chick 🐣 I don’t have Instagram. I’m a UA-cam fan or maybe a Pinterest user. Love your crafter energy for sure 💗
Thank you so much for the kind words! ❤️ I do have several free patterns on my website: camrynscutecreations.com/category/freepatterns/
And I do have my Beanie pattern for sale on my website, as well!
Love all of this!! Don’t discount the cardigan! Do you make your beanies with a machine?
I have certain beanies I do create with my Addi machine, but my velvet ones are all done with the hook!
I love your videos. Would you share the pattern you use for the baby bear beanies?
I'm so glad you're loving the videos! The Baby Bear Beanie pattern is actually not mine, but CrochetDreamz! Here is a link to their pattern that I use: crochetdreamz.com/crochet-baby-hat/
@@camryns_cute_creationsThank you so much!
Just found your channel and LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos!!!! I have one question. Are your beanies crocheted or do you make them on a knitting machine?
Oh my gosh I love all chickens!! I have that same chicken pattern but for some reason my chickens are smaller :( did you do any modifications? What yarn and hook did you use?
Too funny I’ve been hearing this from other makers too! Idk what know exactly I’m doing differently but I’ll try to figure it out:) it could be tension!
Thank you for the video! I just bought an addi and have made a few of your hats but what happens when it looks like I missed a stitch? They def don't come out as beautiful as yours!
I’ll have to share some tips on fixing the missed stitches! There’s definitely a learning curve too, tighter tension and going slower helps!
Would you consider yourself a fast crocheter? I feel like I crochet so slow 😩. Any tips on how to crochet faster??
I'm definitely on the fast side! But I crochet for at least a couple hours a day, and I've been crocheting the same or similar patterns for years, so I'm really quick at those! Honestly, it just comes with practice! I think you'll be even faster than me in time! :)
Is the thousand inventory that ur prepping for the cost or what your planning to sell at your market xx
Love ur videos they help so much xx
Yes, the one thousand is the total value of what I plan on selling!
I think my baby things sell better as a set with headband or hat and booties? Might be worth a try?
Baby items totally sell well as a set! One of my favorite things to offer is a "Mommy and Me" matching set! It makes great gifts!
I was wondering if you'd like to add mouse amigurumi since you sold out in your last market 😊
I totally want to!:) we will see if I have time!!!
do you have a suggestion for a doable number of different products to sell? i’m worried i’m getting too excited trying to add too many things and won’t be able to stock up!!
It’s totally okay to have a variety of items too! Anywhere from 30-50 items is plenty for a first show!
How do you stay productive making your items without getting repetitive motion pain? I just crocheted for a few hours today and my wrist is hurting. I take that as a sign to be done for today, but I still need to build up my inventory. I would like to plan out my making time like you mentioned in this video, but what if my wrist doesn't want to cooperate? And I still need to get those items made, even if I am in pain?
I totally understand, and that's why planning out your week to have designated and reasonable crochet sessions built in is essential! I try not to crochet for more than 3 hours in a row (at the longest), otherwise I also get pain. Definitely taking frequent breaks and drinking a lot of water helps, but you are right when you say that the pain is a sign to stop for the night!
Can you please share the baby booties pattern you use? I love them! Thanks.
Hey! The pattern is from Croby Patterns! They're so cute, aren't they??? Here's a link to their pattern!: crobypatterns.com/crochet-baby-booties-in-15-minutes-or-less/
@@camryns_cute_creations thank you so much! I've been looking for a pattern and saw your booties and they were exactly what I've been looking for!
❤❤
❤️
I have a bunch of the forever fleece but I have no idea what to make with it for my markets. What do you use it for?
I love making baby booties and baby blankets with forever fleece! :)
I bring to do wings for bees
Oh my gosh, crochet bees are so cute! I would love to see some of the bees you've made 😁❤️
You have a wonderful crochet market prep. In one of your last markets you sold some xmas trees. What pattern did you use for them. and are you making them for this market?
Hey there! The Tree Pattern is actually from MJs Off the Hook Designs! Here's the exact pattern I use from them: www.mjsoffthehookdesigns.com/crochet-bobble-tree-sweaters/
I typically don't start making/selling those until after Halloween, or whenever snow starts to fall where I live!
Thank-you so much for replaying to me. Have a great day.@@camryns_cute_creations
May I ask what your opinion on just a good goal for a 3 day fall festival would be. This will be my first set up ever. Don't ask what I was thinking to go so big out the gate lol. Go big or go home I guess. But this festival is very eatablished and sees more than 10k visitors for the weekend.
Wow that’s so awesome! It’s so hard to make goals for a first show because we don’t know exactly what to expect but I think shooting for at least $500 for the weekend could be totally doable! Probably even more depending on traffic! Hope that helps:)
@@camryns_cute_creations that does. Thank you! That was kind of what I was thinking so it makes me feel better that my thought process was good!
I have a question, do your blankets sell often? I kinda want to try baby blankets or something. And are your baby products your best sellers?
Are all of your velvet beanies crochet or do you do some on the knitting machine?
All my velvet beanies are crochet!! I do have some beanies I offer that I make with an Addi machine, but they are not velvet :)
🙋♀️What yarn did you use for the cream colored chickens? I’ve been looking for a color like that, that is not yellowish cream.😩😩
I believe that one is the vintage white from bernat blanket :)
I’m trying to find the video where you were talking about what inventory app that you use to keep track of your items. I remembered a while ago you said there was a specific one that you really liked and I have been searching and searching and I can’t find that video can you help me?
That may be Notion I was talking about?:) I’ve chatted about it a few times but will make more videos on it too!
30 cows in a filed 28 chikens. How many didn't? Also im working on some crochet handbags
Some crochet handbags sound so cute! What colors are you using? :)
@camryns_cute_creations At the moment, im working on the pink and purple ones, but I'm not sure which other colours to crochet, maybe green and blue and black or grey maybe.
Hey I love watching your videos you are my favorite youtuber what sells the best fk4 you
What sells the best for you******
Hey there! My baby stuff tends to be the best overall, but seasonal items like pumpkins always do super well, too!
Nice I have been trying to sells in my yard but no luck
