I struggle with PTSD, depression and anxiety. I rarely sell anything. I crochet for my mental health and my family and friends benefit from it.

[@craftymompreneur]

Ive heard that quite a bit about crochet and your family is super lucky to have you. I'm sure they love everything you make for them.

[@AlisonBlanchflower]

Well done you! Hang in there and always try to remember- you are a beautiful person!!!! ….You just have to learn to see your own beauty/strengths and don’t expect to much of yourself, what you can do when you can do it is ENOUGH ❤ Much love 😊

[@mycustompaintedlife502]

Me too! I get it 💯. I can’t even leave my house and probably because of that I have nobody.

[@mjdonahue6438]

I have made and sold baby blankets; sold for about $25 - $45 depending on yarn, style, time. Should've sold for more, but a new baby's granny can really get me 😂 ❤

[@darrinmckeehan5697]

I've mostly made blankets in my crocheting life (lol -since junior high). And you're completely right=they usually take way longer to make than I would want to spend only to sell them. Though making it as one continuous granny square is my easiest & fastest kind that comes to mind. Or granny rectangle. Thanks for this video! I chose the same coworker whose name I have had the last couple of years... so I've run out of ideas 😂.

[@dixiegelinas3531]

I’ve made many blankets. Different stitches, some difficult, some easy, my favorite is the virus stitch.

[@bettybeaubien6677]

I love doing that blanket. Virus makes a beautiful blanket.

[@PatriciaAnnFinck]

I have made a lot of blankets for myself and family. I can’t imagine selling them because they do take a lot of time.

[@fiberandfiction]

New subscriber here. I really enjoyed this list! Very timely for the last minute gifts.

[@lisak8896]

I love to make blankets, mostly granny square ones, but trying to sell them for what they are worth seems almost impossible. I just mostly make them now for charity, keep them or gift them.

[@craftymompreneur]

I enjoyed making the granny square one for my daughter but it was a challenge since it was my first one

[@angela5391]

A great Christmas holiday list ,I love the bloopers ‘o’and your dog drinking during the video end keeping it real! Thanks 😊

[@craftymompreneur]

Glad you liked the bloopers - I definitely gotta keep it real! No fancy studio or anything here!

[@HoofnIt03]

I have wanted to make myself a pocket scarf. But I'm hooked on ami critters right now. Bloopers! 😂😂😂

[@PamelasCrochetKnitCorner1]

My go to blanket that I make for gifting is the Family Room Throw by Fiber Flux. I have made this many times, love the easy tutorial. i add a border from Blossom Crochet. My favorite hand made item to gift is a knit or crochet beanie! I crochet and knit! Thanks for these ideas.

[@craftymompreneur]

Ohhh I just looked it up and it's super cool looking! Love it!!

[@teresaclaus8683]

Love you channel.

[@gaylescovel7308]

Loving that one blanket for ur daughter❣️. IT GEORGOUS!

[@craftymompreneur]

It was a labor of love for sure and my first crocheted blanket.

[@chrismarcotte4241]

I crocheted 8 Harry potter characters. 4 Sanrio characters, and now finishing a 10 inch Christmas Wreath and adding crocheted pinecones! These are all gifts

[@craftymompreneur]

Wow you are busy!! That’s amazing!!!!

[@shoji...]

Baby Blankets for gifts and sales, maybe. The adult size I don't think would be a profitable endeavor either!! Enjoyed your list!

[@dianestiebel]

Pot holders can be cute 2 i have made over and over are angels and mr or mrs santa

[@cindyparrett5317]

I love how your dog drank water just as you were talking about cup cozzies. lol I thought you had added sound effects.

Such a fun list! Glad the algorithm recommended you!

[@craftymompreneur]

Thank you so much for watching!!! Glad you liked my picks!!

[@yb8151]

I made a granny square blanket for my daughter as a gift and it’s took me a month and a half.

[@mycustompaintedlife502]

Me too for my Dad because he just had a bone marrow transplant for AML. I just finished it yesterday. I started it in May!

[@strivin2thrive]

Thanks great ideas!! Would you mind doing one Tuesday a video about how to understand and follow patterns.... 😊...I learn very slow lol😂

[@craftymompreneur]

Yes!! Thank you for the idea!! Any specific kind of pattern?

[@strivin2thrive]

[@krystasimmons8611]

I quit making blankets to sell because the yarn to make one here in Canada is easily $100 so to make any money on it you would have to charge double.

[@craftymompreneur]

I don’t think a lot of people know how much time goes into crochet…especially a blanket!

[@lesliebowles3649]

For sure! I’m also in Canada - our yarn prices are so high.

[@bettybeaubien6677]

Me too! Canadian. I agree with the prices in Canada. But in my area, in the many years I have been crocheting, I might have sold 10 blanket and gave away a lot. We have blankets everywhere in our house. So nice to have in the chilly evenings.

[@tinahenderson9990]

First time visitor, love your ideas. Thank you ❤

[@craftymompreneur]

Welcome!! Thank you so much for watching!!!

[@LynneRedick-su1ji]

Been loving your channel. I’ve only made blankets for gifts and I have no idea how long they take. … I don’t keep track of big project like that. Keep stitching !!!

@craftymompreneur thank you so much for the quick reply and for fixing it!! That's ALOT of work you did, we all greatly appreciate it and you! 💜

[@tiahuggins]

I have made many blankets of lots of designs, but have never sold them because they can take me up to a month to make them. I asked them at work how much they thought I could get for one and the first answer was $20. People who don't knit/crochet have no idea and wouldn't pay to make it worth it.

[@takecare4697]

So thoughtful of you, really!

[@wyomingwips7540]

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.

[@NannaLannaCrochet]

Hi Tammi…I’m making Christmas 🎄 Stockings for my 3 Grandkids (16/18/20) I’ve never done it, but doing my best. Then going to put Christmas gifts inside their stockings. I want to make my DIL some fingerless gloves, and there’s these little Christmas pouches that Crystal on BOD recently put out a tutorial for and then you can put nice smelling sachets in them. I’m wanting to do a poncho by BOD for my DIL, but will have to see if I’m ready to brave it…😊 I liked your ideas, thanks for the video ❤

[@craftymompreneur]

Wow you are gonna be busy!! I’m sure the stockings will be awesome!! What is BOD

[@teresa-amberwelch-mcfarlen7644]

Blankets usually take way more then 6hours lol 😅that's fast lol😅 I made a blanket that took 10hours and it was blanket extra yarn in a granny rectangle

[@reneelyons6836]

You are super cute!! I love this video. 😃🥰🧶🧶

[@craftymompreneur]

Ah thank you so much!!!

[@cfrandre8319]

You can embroider someones’ name with a little contrasting yarn and a plastic big eyed needle. Better than gluing on something…thanks for ideas, new sub

[@mycustompaintedlife502]

It took me from May until yesterday November 14th. I didn’t work on it daily but ya! Blankets take forever

[@craftymompreneur]

They really do!!!

[@kathleenlawson9694]

The Afghan I am currently working on (50 inches wide) is taking about an hour an inch to make.

[@craftymompreneur]

Oh wow an hour an inch!! Blankets take so long.

I make kids lap blankets all the time takes me 7 days.

[@52188972]

Would you recommend acrylic for a dog jumper?

[@craftymompreneur]

I wasn’t sure but I did a little searching and came up with sock wool being highly suggested. If anyone in the comments know…please chime in!!

[@judyortmeier4479]

I have made several blankets for family members. I would have to charge more than a $100.00. Sometimes my blankets take a week and sometimes several days. Too much money to try to sell!

[@SueWalker-mr3ii]

It took me months for one blanket

[@MillieHollis-l6i]

I only make blankets for someone special

[@katskills5560]

I’ve made blankets for grand children but I don’t sell them. Too much time invest! Most people don’t want to pay for the time. I macraméd a curtain and photo frames last year also. I have too many hobbies and I change up each year.

[@denisepotter4131]

Thank you for the suggestions for holiday gifts. So far this year I have made a couple of ear warmer/headbands, and a couple of beanies. I have made this Bonnie Bay Crochet, Celtic Mandala Throw, 3 times it takes about 3 months to finish and the yarn costs about $60. Never have sold them, one was a wedding gift, one for a grandson and the last was a donation for a fund raiser. Personally I don't see how you could find someone to pay you enough for your time and material costs with a beautiful hand made blanket. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opuria2unZh2fposi=mNztt65WZHVCuD2I I have always followed the you tube video. This really works up nice, so is worth the time you put into it.

[@kittym8305]

6 hours for a blanket is nothing thanks to huge yarn and hooks. I've spent a couple weeks on a blanket. They are almost always for gifts. I have one ordered for $350. I'll make around $10 per hour.

[@marge9897]

Where can I get the paterns?

[@craftymompreneur]

Most are linked in the description box. I’m currently updating some of them. Not sure why but some links didn’t paste correctly.

[@squeekee35]

Lol lack of staying interested it takes me years to stitch a blanket

[@craftymompreneur]

It’s a whole other level of commitment!! lol

[@giniferdeming]

Blankets take a long time and a lot of material. I don't think you could make money outside of making a baby blankets.
