Crochet Market Vlog 🐐 Results, Eyes and Low Inventory

[@TheTaroteers]

I am so relieved the condor's life was saved! He is an endangered species, how could you 😂

[@CatCakeCrochet]

LOL he got lucky this time 😤

[@eviljackys-little-works]

NOOO OMG the brown and yellow goat 🤎💛🤎💛 I LOVE IT

[@Hideouscharm]

So glad the condor found their person!!! This is why they hung around so long. Had to wait for that kid to find them. It’s destiny.

[@kellyroper4066]

There will always be shoppers who under-value your work. Stick to your prices on your large items because they're worth it. I also make amigurumis, and my more expensive pieces always find the person they were meant for eventually. :)

[@suzie.in.stitches]

Also loved that the Condor sold!!!! His person found him!

[@JaydCrochets]

I love the type of markets you go to! Also that was totally fate for the condor to go to that little girl 🌸

[@katherinebrown7]

45 is soooo reasonable and yes you should charge for eyes. You are great!

[@TheInvisibleJoin]

Great sales, attractive setup, great Dad!!!! As agreed with another commentor, don't hide your tattoos. They are a part of your artistry. i miss your worm. i keep waiting for his/her return. Take care.

[@MystLily]

I missed the worm also, they are such a cool make

[@priscillahernandez2004]

Your endings are a lot of fun 😊 my favorite one so far is the one you did as Comfort Loops, I think you nailed Victoria’s “stay comfy” ending ❤️ Super relieved to know the Condor found his person 😁 Also loved all the positive takeaways you got from this market even if it wasn’t as “successful” as your other ones

[@CansBooksnThreads]

I hate that polyfil so much 🥴😂 I think the tweed goats turned out so cute! Freeze dried candy is my favorite! There’s a freeze dried candy lady at a lot of the events I do and I love being next to her 😂 I buy so much candy.

[@anniekorn577]

I really am looking forward to the eyes. Yours are so pretty!

[@ClaudiaJasalavich]

Love your bumblebee dangle earrings!

[@anniekorn577]

Love the whole outtros like other crafters😂

[@donnajacobs2158]

I love goats ❤

[@WendyHAROLD-h6n]

Thank you most enjoyable from the UK

[@NicoleCritter]

i love your videos and that song is great. im very glad someone swooped in and rescued mr condor, i get it, i wanna murder a stuffie or 2 now and again. and the need to craft is real. my first impression when i found one of your videos was 'shouldnt she be a baker??' but i love your name its so cute and charming and the story is heartwarming.

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

I have really enjoyed watching the evolution of your market set ups. Well done on your sales and enjoy your June break 😊 🎉

[@JennaIsOverIt]

Watching your video while prepping for AnimeFest. I'm gonna be honest. I expected $80 for the Condor. Especially since your blue cactus is $40. So glad you got the same tho. Congrats!!

[@Lenavaldez]

So glad I found you on you tube! I love watching your videos

[@GoingCrochetzy]

So happy someone got your Condor. I was sad when you were going to snip it. I love it!

[@xochitlmochicrochet]

"when i say we i mean us"🤣🤣🤣 girl you crack me up anyways love the video ❤

[@Viney_maple]

Absolutely you should be charging for eyes!!

[@claudialandry4882]

Your a natural on u tube !

[@glowingsoulfire819]

The thumbnail google eye picture 😂😂😂

[@desireeayat9520]

Aloha from Hawaii 🌴 I'm glad you sold all the goats!! The Condor was a bonus. Glad you did well. I enjoy your vlogs.

[@iijellydog]

Aww yay! I’m happy the condor found a home! I’m happy the right buyer came at the Knick of time 👀💦 Also, don’t worry about your tattoos - if you don’t like them because you think you will be judged, that’s understandable. I’m a teacher with tattoos, and I’ve found many people today don’t care. So long as there is nothing NSFW, you should be good to be free of your covers 😊

[@suzie.in.stitches]

I wanted to pull everything further forward 😂, can’t see your beautiful creations easily enough! I think the chickens were super cute but kind of hidden at the back behind the wiring so not as easy to see. You did so great - it’s hard when you feel you don’t have enough inventory but you did great and the display was so inviting!

[@bellasouldesigns]

I make mostly clothing and I watch you. I hate making plushies lol but they sell. I love your Cactus'

[@lynnetteb82]

Congrats on your sales. When i did markets many yrs ago i felt the taking down of the canopy was easier than putting up. Now my health won't allow me to do those things. I love crochet and am donating mine ro various organizations.

[@ellingtonandco]

Omg I love that you brought the Anne of Green Gables book ❤️ 🇨🇦

[@user-PamWiley123]

Yes, small nose on little goat.

[@MJAlleywayCrochet]

I think I’m gonna put my girly in swim lessons!! I love that you were able to take those funds and put them towards your girl, I love it. The eyes you make are soooo pretty some of my fav out there !! 🫶🏽

[@MJAlleywayCrochet]

Alsoooooo, it’s so crazy to me you cover your arms in the heat like I do because I’m self conscious of my tattoos !! If I’m going to any event or anything I feel like I need to cover them to be comfortable but then I sweat lol so I’m working on just not caring.

[@jaimeshooked4590]

Hey Quinn! Yay! You did well! I know how it feels when you dont have enough, but you nearly sold out. All your big goats were taken! Not to mention that Condor! That is exciting, way to go! I am happy for you. Hugs 'n love!

[@CarolMarieReads]

My tip - a wagon! I use my son’s wagon. It’s a red flyer one that folds. But since we already had it I use it. I find it easier to pull heavy things instead of carrying it

[@ClaudiaJasalavich]

There are also wagons that fold up for transport.

[@CarolMarieReads]

@@ClaudiaJasalavich yes! I thought about buying one then realized I had a kid one I could use 😆

[@TeresaLuna-xx4ed]

You did good!!❤

[@mommajessiesboutique]

I agree with you the price. It's worth it with all that detail

[@buggybugs1818181818]

I was so happy to have met you at this event. I'm so happy that you love your leggy frog that I made for you.

[@CatCakeCrochet]

Thank you so much for saying hi to me! My daughter loves her little squishy chicken too 😄

[@buggybugs1818181818]

@@CatCakeCrochet im so glad and your welcome ^_^.

[@gerdellenmaria]

The condor drama made me laugh omg. Bless that girl that saved him haha!!

[@MystLily]

Yay for the condor being sold and to the little girl who loves vultures, that's so lovely. I think it's wonderful that you asked the kids to pick something off your table, I love giving things away and do it often when the opportunity is there and the candy looks great, we have freeze dried vendors at the markets I do and I always buy a bag of something new and share with my husband so I don't eat much of it. I do like the idea the vendor lady gave you about more foot traffic inside your booth and may give it a go but I also really love how you arrange your tables because they are really visually appealing and I especially love the different table levels you do. I'm without a car at the moment but when it's back on the road I'm going to go second-hand shopping for some basket displays instead of spending a lot of money on new things, I really need something that shows my little items better so the kids can handle them easily when making their decisions

[@Stacymakes]

Oh my I loved your outro 😅 you killed it. 😂

[@bethferguson705]

My absolute favorite book!!!! Anne of 💚 Green Gables. This just makes you wayyyyy cooler. I do appreciate & love your authenticity. Bringing Granny Back 😅

[@Homemakingsimple]

Speaking of embarrassing allergies when my boyfriend took me to his uncles house for the first time ever I was petting their cat when my nose started running like a faucet and it dripped on the cat before I even knew what happened and everyone saw it! 😂

[@CatCakeCrochet]

ON THE CAT 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mommajessiesboutique]

Love their yarn! Looks so pretty!

[@carmanrutten7768]

You always amaze me in the way you do such a good job of making such unique items that fit the theme of the market. Your crochet items are surely unique.

[@BiKEnBiTES]

Cute reason for the name. Now you have to chrochet a Cat cupcake 😅

[@backtolife5142]

Hei, i'm Jenny and I'm from germany and i love to See your Videos and you HAIR 😅🥰👌 A Video :how i paint my safetyeyes! Would be a dream...... They are so sparkely and beautiful 🙊love love love Love greetings

[@_Chrissy_chatz]

The blue chicken is cute lol….. yes but everything on the table. Just imagine if you didn’t but the big bird on the table? Can’t hurt to try

[@VJAbdool]

Hi. I stumbled across your video and I love your crochet work. You have wonderful energy. And you are so motivational. Thank you. I will keep watching and looking out for your videos. All the love to your family.

[@alisondavis1437]

Yay! So glad your condor found their perfect home ❤ Also, I don’t know if you’d be interested but I’d definitely purchase a pattern for your goats. I know you made a mix but I really do love the pattern you came up with 🐐 P.s. can’t wait for the launch of your worm pattern, so exciting!!

[@ClaudiaJasalavich]

Your setup is lovely--such a great aesthetic. At future outdoor shows in order to provide a backdrop for your booth, hang up one of the fabric walls on the back side of your canopy. (I am assuming that your canopy came with walls.) If you don't have walls, a large piece of fabric could work. I have even seen people use long curtains strung on a line that they tie to the frame. This hides things behind you like the street and also the extra things behind your table from your customers. Really love the little chairs as displays for the larger toys. The little fence is a great addition. To make a backdrop for the metal frame (car hanger display) you might try tying a vintage scarf (those square ones that women used to wear in the 1960s and earlier) to the back, or clipping on a piece of fabric you like with mini clothespins or office binder clips. Thrifting may be a good source of colorful scarves and curtains or fabrics. Also, a long banner with your business name to hang on the back side of the canopy frame would also be nice, because at events with lots of people, the table one may not be visible.

[@lolasky204]

U are very talented but u are also incredibly beautiful 😍

[@CatCakeCrochet]

Wow, thank you!

[@kimethaturner152]

Your tattoos are a reflection of your story. Girl own that, i think they are nice from what I’ve seen. Don’t worry what others will think. You are stunning. I love to see your videos come up and your work is great stick to your prices. I like the little round goats 🐐 you made once everything started selling out 🥰

[@Sharkeyscrochetcarnival]

I had to get some of that same polyfil and have the same feelings about it! my bf didn't really get what i was saying when i had him touch it lol. but i'm glad i'm not the only one. Doesn't seem to matter once it's inside the stuffies though...

[@mayhong5065]

❤

[@craftlover9702]

I actually am drawn to the more boutique look when I go to craft shows. I find that look so much more inviting and less commercialized. Sometimes I actually skip booths that look too refined and commercialized because it just reminds me more of mass production even if it isn't. If a booth looks too polished, at least for me I mine as well just go to a store. I really like your vibe! Love the little fence and the chairs, that would automatically draw me in! Keep being you!!!

[@_Chrissy_chatz]

Congrats on selling the big guy and all your goats ❤

[@janaegraber3907]

those goats are so cute i need to make some!!

[@janaegraber3907]

btw do you have links to any patterns for them that u used?

[@lisabond3005]

Thank goodness for super dad! I apologize for not reminding you about the poly fill. And don't drop your prices. There will always be people who don't value hand crafts.

[@JDiamondW1]

I do a lot of wearables (shawls mostly) though as I'm watching your videos I am working on a plushy. I don't use blanket yarn though, just use the normal 3 or 4 weight. I've tried to use blanket yarn but think I went for the real thick stuff and had a hard time seeing the stitches so I think I'm going to use a dollar tree plush yarn and see how it goes.

[@MadebyMandaMal]

Love this vid and love your tattoos🙃 would DEFF recommend a wagon for the setup/breakdown stuff if you don't have one already. it's LIFECHANGING when I set up by myself!!

[@CatCakeCrochet]

Great idea!! And I could use it to pull my daughter around lol

[@nicolechamberlain4648]

45 is reasonable!

[@Alittlegnome]

I LOVE that corn!! Can you share the pattern & what yarn you used? That yellow yarn is so pretty!

[@CatCakeCrochet]

Yes!!! The pattern is by @comfortloops and it’s releasing tomorrow for national corn day! It’s no sew and works up really quick, the one I made was actually pretty bad (my BLO row was very messy because I made it at 3am) but the pattern is super cute and I’m definitely going to make more for the summer events I’m going to. The yellow is Bernat in the color Sunsoaked!

[@julieweegens]

What size is your banner that hangs over your table?

[@TheTopKnotchCrochet]

Love this set up - it’s so great to watch your growth! I have been digging through your content but can’t find it myself - where did you get the toad pattern? I love these as opposed to other frog patterns but can’t find it anywhere! 15:59

[@CatCakeCrochet]

😂 I’m sorry! It’s actually called the pocket frog and I’ve been calling it a fat toad this entire time. Mine came out huge because I used Bernat and a size 6 hook, It’s by Knots N Stitches on IG! instagram.com/p/C4gCgiXugS2/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

[@CluckandBuzzCrochet]

Hello! Love watching your videos. Question: How many other crocheters have been at the markets you’ve done? I signed up for my first market back at the end of April for a mid-July market. I just found out there are AT LEAST 3 other crocheters there, possibly more. Is this normal? It’s a one day event in a smallish town

[@CatCakeCrochet]

Out of the 6 events I have done, 4 of the shows have had other crochet vendors. The most has been 3 other sellers but we all do different things, some only make wearables but stuffies are so popular now that usually that’s what the other vendors have. From talking to other crochet vendors online, it’s super common to do a market with other crochet vendors there. Unless you get lucky and find a juried show, I would always expect to see at least one other one. I try not to do the super popular patterns so my booth is more unique, but even if do make leggy frogs and octos, you can put your own twist on them by choosing different yarns, eyes or colors! I also go out of my way to introduce myself, check out their work and make conversation with the other crochet vendors. Good luck at your show!

[@maryelgin9919]

Leave it at $45. Not sure how big the goat is but it probably should be $55. Lol

[@aparlinproject]

I hope you yelled at the person next to you about smoking!!! I know ive had to do that a few times. Fibers will observe that smell

[@Grammys_Crocheting]

I don’t like that stuffing either. It feels weird

[@melissarussell8682]

That goat should be more than $45 so don’t you dare lower it!

[@melissarussell8682]

I should have watched the whole video first 🤷🏻‍♀️😆

[@CatCakeCrochet]

😂😂 I appreciate you

[@MarianAyala02]

and to think you were Gona 🪦the condor a win is a win 😅
