Crochet Market Prep | Planning for Upcoming Markets | Crochet for Spring Markets

Hi sweet friends! Thank you for joining me in another video! Grab your crochet and settle in for planning how to prep for upcoming markets -- I'll be prepping for my upcoming spring makes, sharing how I create my list of what to make, chat about etsy and how I run etsy along with attending markets, and give you a look on the process of making snugglers.
As always, if you'd like to shop my etsy you can shop here: awestruckcroch...
Not all of these makes are listed in my etsy to purchase the final product, so if you're searching for something and don't see it, send me a message.
Love the crochet make, but want it in a different color? Fill out my custom order form!

Good morning cute little kiddo! ❤

[@HoofnIt03]

😍😍😍 Those bees!!!!!

[@CassieslilCraftCorner]

He (the bunny) looks like a jelly bean 😍 it’s cuuuuuuuute.

[@awestruckcrochet]

@@CassieslilCraftCorner hehe, he really does!

[@HoofnIt03]

I have to comment as I watch. 😂 I love those tweeds so much!

[@awestruckcrochet]

Haha, I love that so much 😍😍

[@HoofnIt03]

Hi! The mic...I can hear the kiddos a lot, but I hear that as real life, so love it! BUT...if I bought the mic to not catch the play noises and I didn't like how I had to wear it, the thing goes back. 😁 Thank you for sharing tips and hints regarding assembly etc. All your makes are so cute! ❤

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank you for sharing your perspective about the microphone. I definitely will keep that in mind for future videos! Thank you so much for watching ❤️

[@jamiewilson3620]

The microphone works well…a little too well! I think I heard one of your littles shouting “Spiderman! Spiderman!” So adorable! Love how you show your thought process behind market prepping.

[@awestruckcrochet]

@jamiewilson3620 😂😂 the boys always keep me on my toes. The "mom, I farted" killed me ☠️🤣 thank you so much for watching!

[@angelahahn3046]

The bees are too cute and fun.

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank you 🥹🥹🩷

[@cheridefries4980]

Loved your video! ❤ Especially watching your process on the chicks. I now know the correct way to do a half double decrease. 🤪 All your makes come out so sweet. 💕

[@awestruckcrochet]

Thank you so much! I actually think I crochet the decreases the incorrect way 😂. It's just burned into my brain to do it this way. I believe the correct way is to yarn over into stitch and pull up a loop, then yarn over and insert hook into the next stitch, yarn over pulling through all 5 loops.

[@cheridefries4980]

Whatever I do left a lump. So I like the way you did it. 😁

[@awestruckcrochet]

@cheridefries4980 🤣🤣 okay! Sometimes my best friend will say "is that how you do it?" for a certain stitch and I have to physically do the stitch because I don't recall exactly what I do 🤣

[@madewithlovebykiki]

Love your valentine bee pattern. Finally bought it. Enjoy watching your youtube videos. Love to chrochet while watching.

[@awestruckcrochet]

@madewithlovebykiki aww, thank you so much!! 🥹 🫶

[@MrsElido]

Aww man. I want that chic in the egg pattern but it's sold out. That's the cutest thing ever!

[@awestruckcrochet]

LewieandBerg just fixed it so it should be ready to go and available for you 🥰

[@MrsElido]

@awestruckcrochet thank you! I bought it.

[@its_tora_stallings]

Where is the cuddle critters pattern from? I need to make that cow! ❤ I love the cats you done as well, you always do the best work!

[@awestruckcrochet]

@@its_tora_stallings they're from Mama Makes Yarn! Here's the link 🥰 creatoriq.cc/4fMKDWk

[@its_tora_stallings]

@@awestruckcrochet I appreciate you!

[@Kristytompkins-yn4iy]

I have been doing beanies and props since 2011. I got pretty burnt out but have been enjoying making stuffed animals now.

[@awestruckcrochet]

@Kristytompkins-yn4iy yaaay! So happy you found another passion in crochet. 😍

[@carissamckee653]

I just watched your video. Did miss the deets on the little hatching chick on the cover of this video ?

[@awestruckcrochet]

I started the hatching chicks, but then haven't finished them yet. The pattern is from LewieandBerg and it's linked in the description of this video 🩷

[@carissamckee653]

@@awestruckcrochet thank you

[@Pocketsnuggies]

I’m really liking seeing this type of video. Which mini bee pattern do you use? Also on your critters, like your duck and mallard, do you use Bernat or Basix? Thanks. I love your new haircut on you. Best of luck on your upcoming markets.

[@awestruckcrochet]

@@Pocketsnuggies the mini bee is from @emmie_sue_designs on her IG page. It's a free pattern that is either pinned at the top or in a "free pattern" highlight.

[@Pocketsnuggies]

@@awestruckcrochetThanks very much!

[@Pocketsnuggies]

@ Thank you! I’m teaching crochet after school and we are doing the ‘Bee with you’ cancer program to teach kindness, So I want a few Bee patterns and a small one sounds good for 12-year-olds. Thank you so much. How do you enjoy the furls resin hooks? I have the metal ones, but I’m thinking of getting a couple resin since they are buy one, Get one free right now. I also wanted to tell you that I really appreciate when you show us your techniques because it is really hard to find places to learn how to sew all of these parts on. It’s very helpful to us newbies. How did you learn?

[@kellidixon4386]

In one of your last videos, you showed that you put a little piece of something inside your plushie to help with the safety eyes. What was it? I just bought the farm critters pattern, and I am so excited to start market prepping for 2025. My first market was last fall, so it is exciting to add some Spring makes! CUTE haircut!

[@awestruckcrochet]

@@kellidixon4386 I put the cross stitch ada cloth behind the safety eyes before putting on the backs. I also have found thicker safety eyes. I linked them in my Amazon Storefront. It's the 12mm safety eyes from ARTXCX. Thank you so much!

[@monikakisscrochet]

Your new hairstyle is very cute, fits very well to your face ❤ but I still miss your beautiful long hair ❤️

[@awestruckcrochet]

@@monikakisscrochet thank you so much 🩷

[@TheLoveOfYarn]

You make so many cute plushies. They are adorable all of them.

[@awestruckcrochet]

@TheLoveOfYarn thank you so much! And thank you for this input. It may also be that I vlogged while the boys played in the living room vs waiting for a quieter time. I really wanted to see how much noise it would tone out.

[@TheLoveOfYarn]

@@awestruckcrochet Of course. You shoud use what you think is the best I love your videos either way. You do a really nice job.

[@Pocketsnuggies]

I just wanted to tell you that I am also a teacher and a mom of three. I have two boys and a girl. It’s busy. I teach middle school. 😊 did you say you resigned from teaching? Which grade were you teaching? I love hearing your boys in the background. It brings back memories. My youngest is 21 right now. Make sure to take time away from your business to just enjoy them being little. I wish I could go back. ❤

[@awestruckcrochet]

@Pocketsnuggies aww, I love that! I've taught a variety of grades, mostly primary. I taught pre-k in an elementary school for 2 years, moved to a 3rd grade reading teacher since the school departmentalized, and then taught kindergarten. I've been really enjoying staying home with the boys. I haven't been a stay at home mom since my oldest was in Kindergarten and she's 12 now.

[@carolrutkowski7280]

Do you have a template for your tags? Really like your method of tracking your items.

[@awestruckcrochet]

I totally forgot to link Camryn's video! Here's the tutorial and the template link is in her description of this video. 🩷 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipeUk6qtjteVrLcsi=QRzc3kuju8QTv9xp

[@Timeless.Crochet.Wonders]

Maybe try a Magnetic Phone Case and not just the sticker additive for the phone. Not that I have tried but I did see they make them.

[@awestruckcrochet]

@@Timeless.Crochet.Wonders thank you so much for this suggestion! I didn't know that they made one. I'll look into it!

[@kraftykait]

Do you have a case on your phone? I had a magnetic holder in my car and I put the magnet inside the case on the back of my phone so it couldn't come off 😊

[@awestruckcrochet]

@kraftykait Yes! I have the loopy case and I tried that as well. The loopy case is too thick and didn't hold with the magnet inside. 😩

[@annetterice4103]

The cuddle critters are adorable. I bought the pattern. Do you put the poly pellets and rattles in yours?

[@awestruckcrochet]

@annetterice4103 they're so cute! I don't when selling at markets. I did add the poly pellets into the set that I made for my boys. Totally up to you!

[@BethLancaster-c8z]

The hatching chicks pattern link is sold out. 😢

[@awestruckcrochet]

Oh no! I'll send a message to the designer about making it available again.

[@awestruckcrochet]

Hatching chick pattern is back up and available 🥰

[@debbieward-crochet]

Why are snugglers legs knotted?

[@awestruckcrochet]

It's part of the pattern from Mama Made Minis. You can choose to opt out of tying the legs if you choose to, though, and use their other leg version.
