A Week of Crochet | Small Business Vlog + Pom Tutorial

[@dovedarby]

Thanks for sharing how you attach the poms!!! I use the same ones and was dealing with wobbly tops. Also thanks for being relatable when it comes to your crafting space. I live in a tiny home so my space is super limited. You just have to work with what you’ve got until better comes. I love your set up by the way❤ I can always clearly see your beautiful work.

[@awestruckcrochet]

Yay!! You're welcome! So glad this was so helpful 🥰🥰 but yes, definitely! It can be so hard to compare spaces and the beautiful yarn wall, but we can create a beautiful space with what we're working with.

I really like that even though you could Make the farmers market tags you just rather support others. !! ❤i am the same way with stuff. I’d rather just support someone else and spend my time doing the actual thing ie.. crochet or resin work. Your set up with the tray and potted plant is SO AMAZING!!! I thought it was intentional not a space restriction type thing. 😊it’s adorable and it makes for continuity among your photos

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank you! I love supporting other makers. I love the tray setup too. 🥰 I guess I could have used anything under neath my makes to take pictures, but I loved the wooden tray and plant to really pull it together.

The elastic poms are to use with a button on the inside to make them removable for washing the hat. It does sit tight depending on the positioning of your button inside. I prefer the strings I have to say lol love your work xx

[@awestruckcrochet]

Yes! I prefer the strings too 🫶

[@Meganvazquez2012]

Your pom beanies are adorable! I love those vegetables too! Would be a fun addition to a garden theme pretend play center!

[@amykidd5332]

Thank you for showing how you attach the poms. I have so much trouble punching that needle through! Your work is really beautiful and I so enjoy watching you create and chat. Keep it up!

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank you so much 😍😍

[@LovePrey]

This video came just in time. Needed some motivation to get up and get some new items made, and to also record a new video. I love your channel.

[@awestruckcrochet]

@@LovePrey aww, yaaay! I love that so much! Thank you for watching 🥰🥰

[@MystLily]

Thank you for showing how you do the poms I love the double poms, the big tooth for your son was wonderful and so was the tooth fairy. You have a lovely style and a great eye for colour and the bag of veggies worked out great, I can see children running around markets advertising your business

[@awestruckcrochet]

Aww, thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@clicksandcrochets2929]

I free handed a tooth back in February for Valentine’s Day for our orthodontist office and they absolutely loved it! A tooth is a prwttt basic shape. You can make the roots just like legs when you connect the together, then increase to get wider as you move to the top, then make one hump, then the other. It’s was really easy and I made it all in my first try! I’d say, just try to freehand something and just trial and error :)

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@auntbsloops]

Thank you for showing how you attach the Poms! I have been making it so hard on myself!! Your way is so much easier/better!! ❤

[@awestruckcrochet]

@@KathleenWinter-d5e thank you so much! I have an Instagram story highlight under "business" that has what's on the cards.

[@ShannonEngel-v8w]

Here’s a tip buy an apholstery needle to put through your poms. It goes through so easily💜

[@awestruckcrochet]

I'll have to try it, thank you!

[@ginablickenstaff9882]

So much fun to watch and also it motivates me to work on my own small crochet business. What pattern is the unicorn? It’s so cute!

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank youuu! The pattern is from Mama Made Minis 🥰

[@sunflowers2838]

Beautiful. You're very talented

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@cheridefries4980]

Hi Alisha, Such a sweet vlog! Loved your tooth fairy doll, so cute. As was Mason’s tooth stuffy, I bet he was so excited to get his tooth fairy letter. 🦷🤍 You are a great momma! Thank you for the Pom Pom tutorial. Do you blow dry your Pom’s (no water)? It makes them very fluffy. 😊 I love your cute idea for the veggies. So creative and something extra special. 🥦🥕🍄‍🟫

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank you so much for watching! Yes, he was so excited to see what the tooth fairy left him 😍 I do use a blow dryer on cool air to fluff the mini poms 🩷

[@annevondemkamp3197]

You have an amazing talent! Such cute items. Can I ask what pattern do you use for the unicorn snuggler? Thank you!

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank you so much! The pattern is from Mama Made Minis.

Can you share what pattern you use for your hatching chics? I made the tooth fairy pillow after watching this video and it turned out so sweet! You always inspire me!

What a treat it was to see my order being made 😍 I’m so excited for my daughter to use it, it’ll be her birthday present 🥺💕 you are one of the most talented crocheters I’ve seen ❤ Also loved the tooth fairy doll!! And learning about your family traditions 💕 so precious Did your puppy enjoy the cupcakes? Aww are you still a teacher or was that your previous job? I loved the tooth fairy doll! And learning about your family traditions ❤

[@priscillahernandez2004]

Came back to say your Farmer’s Market bag for kids is such a good idea!!! I am obsessed!!

[@awestruckcrochet]

Omg, how sweet!! Thank you again for your order! Please tell her I said happy birthday. I hope you guys have the best day celebrating! Yes, Nellie loved her little dog cupcake. We froze the others to keep to give her them occasionally since the batch made so many. 🥰🥰

[@awestruckcrochet]

I was a teacher for 4 years and then this past year decided to stay home with my 3 little boys. I plan on going back to teach when all the littles are in school. 🥰

[@priscillahernandez2004]

@@awestruckcrochet Thank you! I will let her know 🥰 I will also show her this video so she can see who made her the little purse! I think that would be so special, for her to see there is a real person who made her this gift with their own hands ✨ she is turning 4 💕

[@littleone363]

You are such an inspiration to me and your little boy is so cute by the pumpkins. Do you have the pattern for the tooth fairy doll, star wand and mini bag? Cute.😊

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank you! He loves to be close by to help out. The doll pattern is by Poms and Posies [it's the Fairly Sweet Sisters pattern]. The tooth bag, I free hand. The wand is on KZbin. I can't remember the name on the top of my head. The video is spoken in another language but she does write each round on the screen in English.

[@CrochetByToscha-p2k]

Love the veggie bag. Just curious how you will price that.. ?

[@awestruckcrochet]

I plan on doing 3 veggies per bag and strategically, each bag will have either 1 cauliflower or 1 broccoli since the cost is the same to make for these and higher than the rest. The other veggies are about the same amount of time to crochet. $34 for 3 veggies.

[@mamab5615]

Did you mention whose pattern the Safari animals are from? I may have missed it. Thanks!

[@awestruckcrochet]

The Safari Animals are from The Cosy Stitch.

[@mamab5615]

@@awestruckcrochet thank you!

[@kathyhamm6726]

I was wondering where could I find the pattern for the pumpkins 😊

[@awestruckcrochet]

The pumpkin pattern is from @camrynscutecreations

[@kathyhamm6726]

Thank you so much I did find it 😊

[@megan-noellelarkin5343]

What are the car instructions your share with customers for the velvet beanies?

[@megan-noellelarkin5343]

Care*

[@awestruckcrochet]

Usually just hand-wash only and lay flat to dry. For poms to refluff, I recommend using a blow dryer on cool air.

[@Gabiimade]

Hiii, How much do you usually sell your pumpkins for?

[@awestruckcrochet]

At a market, the small size is $15 + tax and the medium pumpkin $24 + tax. On etsy it's a little more because of fees.

[@littleone363]

For the purse you used acrylic instead of cotton yarn?

[@awestruckcrochet]

@littleone363 Yes, I did. You can use either one.

[@littleone363]

@@awestruckcrochetdid you use the crochet hook size listed in the pattern?

[@awestruckcrochet]

@littleone363 for the Maya Purse I used the 5mm hook. I believe that's what the pattern says too.
