[@auntbsloops]

[@MadebyMandaMal]

BOOOO we hate the sewer smell. omg the flies would drive me insane. sorry the event was crappy but so happy you're safe!!

[@priscillahernandez2004]

Kids today will never know the struggle of having to flip the work inside out to get that ‘clean’ look and chaining 2 to start the round 😩 lol that’s how I learned to crochet 10 years ago, but I’m so glad I learned to go clockwise now. Although I still don’t use the magic circle if I can help it 🤫 This may be a hot take but I do not like the idea of using glue on my crochet. Some patterns call for it but I will sew instead. And I know many folks use it and have no issues with their pieces holding up, but still.. I don’t trust it 😖 Aww I’m sorry you were feeling flustered for forgetting your canopy weights. :( and why is that vendor getting mad at your for that? They need to mind their business 😒 I was going to say that those sandals look new and that I’m glad you got yourself another pair of shoes that fit. When you mentioned in a previous video that you were wearing some of the few clothes and shoes that fit you I wanted to give you a hug. I remember the first time I went clothes shopping after having my daughter. My mom took me to buy a new swimsuit and insisted I try some on. It was awful. I stood in the fitting room looking at this strange person with this strange body and wanted to cry. 😔 It’s been three years since that experience and it’s gotten better. I’ve been telling myself positive affirmations and that’s been really helpful. “Thank you, body, for growing and birthing my healthy children.” “Thank you, body, for nourishing my babies when they were little.” etc. :) I’m also very intentional about the language I use around my daughter. “This is Mommy’s beautiful body.” When I exercise I say “This is how Mommy takes care of her body. It keeps me healthy and strong.” 💪 I’m still not 100% comfortable with my new body but I’m learning to give it love anyway. I suppose that’s part of the journey. :) Just felt compelled to share this with you, Quinn, in case it helps you or anyone else reading feel less alone. ❤️

Color change is still easy for me. The color change is the same but the ends are already on the inside. You can tie off as you go or crochet over the ends.

[@GraveMasterLament]

If you don't already, make sure to promote your show! Tell your friends, family, and coworkers. You dont need to go on social media all day every day, but set up automatic posts. People want to support you, and there's a good chance the market wasn't well advertised. Your zebra was so cute too!

[@CatCakeCrochet]

Automatic posts are such a good idea! I’m going to try to remember this advice for my next show, thank you!

[@spencerallegra]

I don’t know how close you are to the fires but I hope you’re staying safe!!♥️♥️

[@Karenbutnotone]

When I have to sew on a head, I put one of those foam hair curlers from the dollar store inside to help with the floppy head syndrome. All your stuffies looked great! Stay safe!!!

[@AuntBecky1]

So sorry you had a lousy show. We just had one yesterday. It wasn’t terrible but it was the worst we’ve ever done at that show. Fingers crossed for the next one.

[@cozyyy.hobbies_chelle]

Omg the corn dog 😂 I love that sooo much!!!

[@hookedbydonean]

Hello from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦. I do markets also. I don’t make amagarumi, I make kitchen items and wearables. I love your personality and subscribed. Look forward to more videos

[@carmanrutten7768]

I just love the mermaid! I like the way the tail fins come off. So cute!

[@Tangledmesscreation]

Sorry that your market was so slow. Hope y'all feel better soon. Love your videos

[@zbornak00]

Love love love that mermaid pattern, will definitely be making that soon ❤❤

[@krissi_kreations]

I can always count on your videos to make me giggle 🤭 The beach squirrel situation was cracking me up, and who knew squirrels lived on the beach? The beach looked beautiful, glad you got to get away ❤

[@cottontailcrafts1719]

the markets this year compared to last year are alot slower!! I had a market in Halifax a few weeks ago I made 0!! Not even a 5 dollar critter,,, loved your set up and love the gifts you got from Stacey !!

[@CrochetEhCanada]

OMG I totally need to know how to make that corn dog! Its sooooo cute!

[@Katerinacrochets]

Lovvvve the mermaid! You are such a great mom every video you make something for her I love that ! I’m so sorry to hear about the fire, at least you got a little get away from it 🫶🏼

[@Cozygirliecorner]

Aww I hope you feel better soon ❤

[@sandramika6710]

It's very cute !

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

Shame about your market hun, I hope that the fire has been extinguished by now! Aww the mermaid is super cute 🥰 glad you survived the squirrel 😂😂 lovely gift from Stacy, what a sweetie she is ❤ x

[@CatCakeCrochet]

The fire is still going, 425,000 acres now 😰 but hopefully out soon. Stacy is so sweet! Just like you!

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

@@CatCakeCrochet oh my goodness 😰 🤞 aww thank you lovely 🥰 x

[@mssarahc4085]

Your Dog is adorable, I Love dogs,

[@cmadigi]

CORN DOG!!!! LOOOOVE

[@FlufferKnots]

We are missing you. will you be coming back anytime soon?

[@TheInvisibleJoin]

East coast markets are not great either in the summer. Best to take that time and build inventory for the fall. The flies are driven away from the smoke concentration. Look forward to your next market.

[@AuntBecky1]

Hi Quinn. Chenille..great job!! You said it right!! I put my pretty peaceful one mandala cake lacy wrap down just to make this comment. Ok back to the vlog!

[@claudialandry4882]

We’ve all experienced that kind of market NO CUSTOMERS summers are slow

[@nurseelle]

Dad to hear about the fires 😞i used to live in Bakersfield and your beach looks a lot like Moro Bay, where we would go to escape the heat 🥵 enjoy your time!

[@CynsCraftingWorld]

What I do for the safety eyes is I will take a lighter and melt the pointy backing and then flaten it with the side of the lighter. Be careful doing this because the plastic will catch on fire but it takes away the point and double secures the backing on because the plastic ends up bigger than the white backing. (I hope this makes sense). That one squirrel looked like she was pregnant! I too had a poor day at a summer market just last weekend. I only sold 5 items. Thank goodness the spot was free for me! Love what you are doing and I love your videos!

[@bearsbyjay3145]

New subscriber here I love your videos keep up the good work❤

[@maryelgin9919]

I think those squirrels were fancy ferrets!

[@DottyDoltCo]

Summer markets can be really slow. We did a bunch of school markets last summer, and they did not do well for us. So we thought that they weren't good. This year, we weren't going to do any summer markets because we thought they wouldn't do well for us. We got invited by another vendor friend to do VancouverPrideFest this year, and it was awesome. I'm so happy we did it. But the fires for sure would reduce the attendance. Hopefully your next market will be better. ❤

[@CooldownCrochet]

Hey Quinn! Thanks for the honest review of the hicrochet kits. I am always scared for those kind of company's and products to suck, because they are really playing into trends and cash out from it. It seemed like it didn't really dissapoint, but not really wow at thesame time. And for that price: that yarn seems similar to one i have used before and it costs 1,25 euro's for 40 grams here in the online store. So materialwise the pricing for everything seems a little steep imo. I loved how your booth looked! I also had a bit of a slow summer market 3 weeks ago. I registered for one that's two weeks from now, but I think I will skip it (your video actually convinced me lol). Thesame organiser is planning a handmade themed evening market in the beginning of september and I suppose that may be a nice alternative for me to vend. I was laughing so hard about the bugs and the squirrel mutants that were stalking you😂❤ i would be scared too! I'm glad you were able to distract yourself after that hectic video and thanks for another great video! Good luck with your future video's! Love, CooldownCrochet ❤

[@5XBlessings]

When I saw those squirrels or whatever they were all I could think of was rabies 😂 I would of been worried also. Can’t wait til your next video!! ❤

[@CarolMarieReads]

Me watching this and running to turn my glue gun off 😮 I did a summer show and I got the same info from other vendors. Fall/holiday/end of year is always the best. Also I’ve had snot and vomit in my mouth … neither mine. Kids are great 😂

[@MJAlleywayCrochet]

I’m sorry your market was slow.. I’m telling you girl.. these summer markets ain’t it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 loveeee the mermaid. Also when you crochet right handed in my mind it would be easier because you don’t have to turn it right side out it’s just already like that. All the ends end up inside as you go. As always love your video 🫶🏽

[@CatCakeCrochet]

I just can’t crochet as fast going the other way! My mind isn’t working enough to finish this comment but I appreciate you 😂

[@ASA-bl3hw]

Brave especially with the 🕷 🕸

[@JDiamondW1]

The pink yarn at the end is called chain spun. I haven't seen it so fuzzy before so thats cool. The stretchyness is something chain spun yarn does.

[@ilsewatkins5357]

How about a video with you making flowers? (and explaining why the glue gun looks well used)😉

[@rosavasq3710]

Where are you ?? 😢 I miss your videos..

[@Tfwcrochet]

That's so weird that your walking mechanisms acted liked that. Mine still work but definitely don't walk in a straight line. I'm sorry about your bust of a market. You know I've been there done that. At least you made back your vendor fee unlike me! :( Those sand squirrels were so werid! I had no idea squirrels lived at the beach either!

[@pinkopal1195]

Where was this market? I live in LA. I’m interested in coming there next time.

[@Viney_maple]

ohhh my gosh I love the fat toads hehe! alsoooo ummmm the hot glue gun?? omg!! new fear unlocked lolol

[@bwilliamson2027]

38:39 they're california ground squirrels

[@piratesavvy]

Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to crochet counterclockwise? A pattern that uses eyelash yarn recommended crocheting counterclockwise and I don't quite understand how to do it.

[@CatCakeCrochet]

Oh wow, I’ve never worked with eyelash yarn but I have heard people say for some fur yarns they look fluffier when you turn your work inside out, you could try flipping it inside out before you close it or before you get to any part that are BLO/FLO or have chain stitches, I always work with the opening of the plushie towards my hand and then flip side out so the opening is away from me when I need to do anything that is going to show on the outside.

[@maryelgin9919]

Forgetting weights is awful. I am a stickler about weights ever since almost getting impaled by a tent leg during a windy event. Missed me by an inch. Love your video.

[@CatCakeCrochet]

@@maryelgin9919 that’s my fear!!!! Gosh, that must have been scary. At the 3rd event I ever did someone’s tent flew away and hit a foot truck. I am so thankful for the kind vendors next to me for letting me use their weights!

[@Lenavaldez]

Where is the octopus pattern from?

[@jackieschneider7354]

Those critters looked like furry rats! Now I am curious what they are. Too bad market wasn’t very busy but as long as you made back your table fee it’s not a total loss. The drive through treed road to Fort Bragg looked beautiful.

[@LaraStarrFyre]

There are so many factors that go into markets that it's hard to say *exactly* what will make a market successful. I vended at a gay market yesterday that had a FANTASTIC turn out, even though there was a HUGE annual event going on just 3 miles away, but I've had some markets that seemed like they would be very busy, but ended up being kind of a flop.

[@debbieward-crochet]

😊

[@carolynwilliams386]

Who's music plays on your channel it's wonderful

[@JoannThomson-s1f]

I lost sound at about 14 minutes.

[@_Chrissy_chatz]

The yarn and stuff is weighing it down. The second walking thing was fine before you crocheted on it

[@CatCakeCrochet]

Yes I think you’re right, it’s a cute idea but i don’t think I would make them again

[@mssarahc4085]

No Fun with little kids shopping, I am 66, and most people our age are burned out on Kids, especially Our Husbands don’t want little kids running around destroying everything,

[@CatCakeCrochet]

Oh my gosh, yes I get really embarrassed when my daughter is loud or destructive in a store. I try to keep her contained in the cart but I refuse to give her electronics to distract her so sometimes we sing or say silly things to keep her attention on us instead of throwing a fit

Missing you ❤
