I just started crocheting, so a whole new UA-cam world opened up. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your candor and your kindness to your viewers/community. It so refreshing and lovely to hear you be so open about what you’re learning, the ins and out of everything you going through, both with inventory and finances. I also just really love how kindly you speak to your audience- it feels like you’re talking to a peer/friend. It all feels so genuine and down to earth, I love it!
Omg thank you sooo much! Your kind words are so meaningful! I’m so happy that you like my video and you’re learning to crochet!! If you’d like, I have a bee keychain tutorial if you wanted to make it! (In the second half of the video I go into more detail for newer crocheters!) thank you so much again! ☺️ and I hope you have fun learning to crochet!
I want to buy that strawberry pillow, but I'm 12. I don't have a stable crochet job yet 😢 but I hope it sells!
I make "Emotional Support Pickles" and I make a sign that says "Life isn't always Bread and Butter, but remember that you're always a Big Dill!"
Aww that’s so cute!!
Once again immediately turned off my show when I saw this pop up! Woohoo! I haven't reached the end yet but I hope the markets went well! ❤ My first market is this Saturday and Sunday, so I'm stress prepping 😂
Also as a response to wondering if we think about our plushies being gifts, I always do! I've had a special order for 2 unicorns, one for each of this woman's daughters, and the photos she sent of them cuddling my unicorns melted my heart! I also had a special order of a dragon for a little boy and the photo his mother sent me of him cuddling his dragon was adorable!
Omg!!! Good luck at your first market! Is it a two day market?!
@allezcrochet Thank you! Yes it is! I'm super excited, I managed to prep almost 4k in inventory!
I did 5 markets in one week before Christmas it was crazzzzy but oh so much fun zz
😱omg!! I couldn’t imagine! You’re a rockstar!!!
I don’t crochet, but I do hope to start markets next year or so, so I’m watching all of these vlogs 😅
Yay!! Good luck!😊
I would look into contacting those Christmas events soon. Often returning vendors sign up a head of time or right after they finish the previous one. Also some winter/christmas shows are already sending out applications. The sooner you can sign up the better! I've been doing shows for a few years.
Thanks so much for the advise!! I got into one, still waiting on them to open registration for the other!
Haven't finished watching yet but I looove all the jokes, you are so funny! Your videos help me just relax as I'm trying to market prep for my first market 🤭
Haha thank you so much!! I hope you have a great first market! ☺️
Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh was also a donkey. I love your crochet work, it's beautiful. I sell off loom beaded jewellery & do a weekly market, some weeks are great others not so much. I statrted markets last year at the age of 65 !!
That’s so awesome! Congrats! Thank you so much, and oh my goodness yes! How could I forget him?😊
Such an honor testing for you! Loving watching your video! Will definitely be adding you to my list of crochet youtubers I watch when I'm crocheting :)
Thank you so much for testing!! ☺️
Really enjoy your videos....thank you for sharing. Love your sunflower dragon.... seeing it has inspired me to make a couple of the dragons. Some rafia would look really cute in your chicken coup display!
Thank you!! I love that dragon pattern so much! Omg that’s such a good idea!! Love that!
I LOVE these videos. Your voice is very soothing ❤️ i was so excited to watch this and crochet my own little mushy boys
Omg thank you so much for watching!! Mushy boys are one of my favs!! ☺️
Absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you so much! ☺️
lol you are so funny 😂 love your content! Thank you for letting me test the pineapple for you!! I thoroughly enjoyed making the little fruits in that bundle & they’ve been a great addition to the items I sell ❤
Yay I’m so happy you like the pattern! Thank you so much for testing!!! 😊
those white chickens still looks like Hello kitties to me, it it had eyes and noses.
Love the heart pillow. Heart patients who have had heart surgery use heart shaped pillows to hug after surgery to help ease the pain when they cough or sneeze. If you were to make the heart pillow just a bit bigger, it would be perfect.
Even stitch a little white EKG rhythm so they know what they're for, might help them sell. Sell them to hospital gift shops!
Wow that is such an awesome idea! Thank you!
Nice❤🎉
Thank you!!😊
Hi, love your videos i watch them during me time in the evenings once all the children have gone to bed, keep up the great work your inspirational. Is all the yarn you use a size 6? X
Aw thank you so much!! Yes it’s size 6. I mostly use sweet snuggles lite from Michael’s and Parfait Chunky from premier! ☺️
@allezcrochet Your welcome and thank you for replying back 😊 x
we have cornhole several times a week, so when i see a fundraiser without a cornhole tournament it’s super odd
Hear me out, make a darker pink dragon, place next to the donkey, and then you have some shrek matchup going on there
Omg that’s such a cute idea 😂
I am new here. I’ve done the “magic 3” i love it so far.
I’m gonna go see if you’re on insta next. I just want to say, you speak so well and have a good cadence LoL 😆 weird right? But seriously some videos people are doing these weird mouth noises saying umm every other word or yeah 🤦🏾♀️ or constantly giggling 🤷♂️
I can’t handle it 😒 you have such cute products. I would love a Q and A
Do you have pets?
9 to 5 ish job?
How’d you find crochet and ami?
What’s your comfort projects? Either way you rock!!!
I like to crochet or sew and watch videos in the background so i really like the speaking videos or small talk videos medium length content 15 min or more. -not that you asked-😊 but that’s why i initially clicked your video, i saw it was long so i clicked. There’s a joke there right? 😂
Love the content now I’m off to watch another of your videos, keep them coming.
Thank you for watching I’m so glad you like them!!
No pets right now! Would love a pup someday! I started crocheting because I saw something in a store that was too expensive and I wanted it so I decided to figure out how to make it 😂 and comfort projects are definitely turtles and dragons as of right now! So glad you like to listen while crocheting, that’s one of the reasons I make these vids!
Good content. I was hoping you could tell me what yarn was used for the axolotl? I just purchased your
fruit pattern thinking i will use acrylic yarn on those cute fruits
Thank you so much!! I hope you enjoy the pattern! ☺️ for the Axolotls, I use premier parfait chunky!
For the dragons do you use a size 6 yarn or 7??? And I loooooovve your vids so much💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🎉
Thank you so much!! I use Sweet snuggles lite for them, which is labeled 6 super bulky! 😊
@@allezcrochet thank you
On your top shelf with the Michaels yarn what is the red yarn there?
You have a very good eye! The red and green are the only skeins on that shelf that aren’t SSL. Those two are bernat blanket. I used those to make my jumbo strawberry!
The market that was reading money that was going to vets , the Monday you made selling the products did you get to keep and the market fee was donated?
Yes!! Everyone’s booth fee was donated and vendors kept sales
*I* want that donkey. I adore him. Have been for a while. I am honestly surprised you still haven't sold him. But I suppose I live on a different continent as you do... Still. I've written you a message on Instagram just now. Pretty please, let's talk about this.
(BTW, I am not a donkey character lover. I just love pretty plushies - and he is very, very pretty.)
Thank you sooo much for your message! I responded to you on insta! ☺️
Where are you located by chance? Hope that's not a creepy question. Just wondering, just trying to connect with some more crochet people in my area. 😊 I'm in Washington State.
We’re super far from each other, I’m on the east coast! 😭
Shoot, if you find yourself this way give a shout out!
You need a Shrek for donkey.
Such a good idea!! Donkey actually sold at my most recent market!!😱
I’m a crocheter and I think your stuff is too pricey.
I know everyone decides prices differently. Everything I make is $15 per hour plus materials. :)
