crochet with me (preparing for a craft market episode 1)

[@CalliLopezEditz]

I hope you do well at the market, I know markets can be a pain sometimes. Some people can be rude about the prices, but I personally think that your prices are really reasonable for what you have made. I crocheted 3 or so granny squares for a cardigan I'm making. I didn't even notice this video was almost a hour long 😂 it kept me entertained the whole time. Love your videos and your beautiful project's. :)

[@annia1047]

I literally just realized it's an hour long video because of this comment, and I was already in min 45. I managed to crochet a bookmark

[@CalliLopezEditz]

@@annia1047 I mean everyone starts somewhere, that's good you got a finished project after watching this video.

[@beanstalkstitches]

Okok three things: 1. Congrats on your masters! That takes so much hard work and dedication and I'm so proud of you! 2. I'm so excited that you're doing a market!!! I'm doing my first one in April :) 3. I love when you include random chats while you do skincare/non-crochet things. It feels like a facetime call and I enjoy it lol

[@sandramartinez1858]

Im 12 years old and had a market in November so when I was 11 and don’t give up I almost did but I didn’t and it is all worth it in the end I made like 350$ all thanks to you and your videos that’s why I had that market ❤ watching you make things and your ideas help me so much and I can’t thank you so much entertaining me constantly ❤

[@DolphinRULER]

Congrats bestie! Make sure to spend it wisely :) I hope you get more wins along the months, years or decades you spend crocheting

[@irenazvarova8496]

That's so impressive!! Keep going

[@kennyfrequency]

thats so awesomee!!!!!

[@ttstango2]

Awesome! I think how KZbin is a gift for learning yarn and fiber arts. Sounds like you love it and already have a little business plan.

[@pottymouthedplanter]

Congratulations kiddo!! This makes me so happy to read. Good for you and not giving up! Wow! $350! Amazing job! My daughter is 12 but isn’t into crafting with me lol Keep going!!!! I’m so proud of you and I’m a stranger!! lol ❤🎉

[@nudibranchnotions]

Regarding the plastic pellets, rice works pretty well too. And might be less expensive. Short grain rice works best (more round).

[@dexterthewolf9144]

I wonder if quinoa would work. Although I’m not sure if that’s any less expensive.

[@umbrella_203]

i crocheted a whole yarn holder to hang in my corner during this video i didn't even realize how fast the time was going by i don't get into the crochet zone very often but this one hit different i didn't even stop crocheting to skip the ads.

[@AshraRain]

For the plants I cut a cardboard that matches the bottom to make it more stable with the pellets. Good luck for your first market!!

[@Katt-y1c]

I love watching your videos while I crochet ! I bet you will do good at the event good luck!

[@ItsssBrie.]

Same ❤

[@artworld_create7627]

i love when you do your skincare and pick outfits it gives me were on facetime vibes yk c:

[@charlotteweisserman9095]

yarn storage ideas would be a great vid idea!! like beyond just crocheting your own storage like those corner-of-the-room-hammocks, i need ideas for like organizing yarn by categories, how to store bulk supply of yarn etc ya know??

[@Yarnlife417]

Tip for the poly pellets in the plants!! If you cut a piece of cardboard to the size of the bottom of the pot and then put the pellets on TOP of that, it'll help the bottom stay extra flat

[@andiefromhell]

hey girlie! I have PMDD and personally, getting treatment for it (medication, in my personal case) has genuinely changed my life. I totally get what you mean when you say that the lows before your period are different and much darker than your "normal" lows. I think it's super worth looking into esp now that you have insurance ♡ also I love watching your videos while I get ready lol they're very therapeutic!

[@kkatieloisxx]

This!! I went on medication a few months ago for PMDD and it has genuinely changed my life. I can get through each month with only a few kinda bad days instead of multiple terrible weeks. I was super lucky that the first medication I tried worked for me almost immediately. It’s sooo worth it even if you have to try a few times before finding the right thing for you

[@The.fantasybug]

There is medication for it?! I need to talk to my psych.

[@kkatieloisxx]

@@The.fantasybug Birth control pills and SSRIs are both good options! Idk where you live but for me in the UK it was super easy to get prescribed something after talking to my GP

[@moweelimeyoutube]

This entire video was just what was needed. Little bit of this a little bit of that… Thank you.

[@LDaw_96]

I love the coasters. I would buy those. Looks like your booth will have lots of great stuff.

[@shadowcat4077]

Hi Paige! Here are some ideas for videos I would LOVE to see from you ❤ -50 granny square patterns (I love making all kinds of granny squares and I know that you would be able to find the most beautiful patterns for them) -50 blanket pattern ideas (self explanatory, but everyone loves a good blanket and what better way to get inspired than by watching some inspo from you?) Thank you so much for being awesome and keep going. I love you and your content. Hope you will consider these ideas! 😊

[@JacobWareing]

Sorry this is still me but on my crochet account lol but for the granny square idea I meant to put pt 2! Thanks Paige love u girl

[@yvonnegraham7882]

You can also use rice or small stones (like fish tank stones or the round glass rocks) to weigh the plants down. I use them in my gnome patterns and then use them to hold doors open.

[@annsuma28]

this! i once had a capybara that kept tipping over but once i hid a fishtank glass pebble inside stuffing it gave it just the weight to stand on its legs. maybe you shouldn't throw it in this case but other than that a perfect solution

[@anissiabalistreri9612]

Congratulations on your Master's and your market. Rock it!

[@SpacyMidnight]

Something that I love about you is that you’re such a girls girl! You never gatekeep and you never skeem around. You help out and support others🏴‍☠️💚☕️🌱 And that is why I watch, as well as ideas and inspiration 💕

[@nurdrums]

Hi Paige! I've been going to a few markets per year for around 10 years now, and I'm still trying to find my niche. I want to get back into it this year and go in a whole different direction with my booth- try new things! I love your "50 crochet idea" videos and I've started making a list from them to try myself. Currently I am making a Baby Yoda lovey blanket for a friend's first child, and I have a few other things to finish before market prep!

[@stephanievanroy2449]

Loved watching you. For the weighted plant pots what I do is put a round cardboard at bottom (inside), then fill with few centimetres of gravel from my entrance (of course I wash them) 😅😁😇 then regular stuffing. Cheapest/most efficient option ever 🤩

[@Amelieladybug]

Perfect timing, I was looking for a long video to crochet to, you ur vids!

[@idokimalov]

heyy! i love watching your videos while i crochet! you should sell wind spinners! they are crowed pleasers

[@anarobles9795]

i almost finished a whole panel for a tote bag I'm making! loved the video, lots of luck for the market and congrats on your degree!! i hope i can do a market soon too, it seems like so much fun and i have SO many ideas for it

[@thequeenn00b]

Instead of those pellets I just put some gravel (like for an aquarium) in a little baggie lol. Works just as well. And way cheaper.

[@Thug_had]

SMARTTTTT

[@kaitlinannwright24]

Hey, girl, I'm also getting a teaching degree and I'm coming up on my (full time unpaid) hours too. Good luck (though with the timeline you might already be doing it). We got this!

[@sasha-bearArt]

I love watching your videos while I crochet, it somehow just makes the entire process quicker. I was making a purse while watching this, but could only finish two panels 😂

[@gracewilliams9449]

alternative to poly pellets: rice!! (uncooked of course)

[@hassliebe3724]

hi! i like watching your vlogs while crocheting. today i was making tulip keychains for the upcoming market. btw, about the january depression thing, i think i know what you mean. since the new year's i've been feeling realy empty, depressed and lost. and in the end of january my boyfriend left me without a decent reason. it was completely out of the blue and i really loved him. so if someone's going through a rough patch too right now, don't dive up and remember that you're not alone. do the things that ypu like and move on. sending love, P.

[@kailynkausen9445]

Finished my masters in creative writing in August! I was working on putting little premade to do lists into my planner during this video and I got out some half finished bags I made sometime last year or maybe even 2 years ago so that I can finish them soon. Now off to edit a story and submit it!

[@standay6652]

I totally love every single time I get a notification that you uploaded! After a long day (it's nearly 21.30 here ) and get to relax while watching your videos

[@jessicavallejo1724]

To weigh amigurimi plant pots down, I use a cardboard cut out in the shape of a circle so it keeps its shape and a few glass pebbles from the dollar store and then stuff it normally. You can also glue the cardboard and pebbles down

[@daysharosario7901]

I would love to know how you made your tags, the wristbands & where did you get the supplies. … please ? I want to make some for myself lol

[@soullyricsk]

I worked on the lining for a granny square fanny pack for my cousin ❤

[@janetcruz4610]

I would recommend looking into "wintering" - I think many of us get caught up in the newness of January, and we think we need to be productive and active. But remember that Jan/Feb are still winter - and it's normal for our bodies to want to winter. Be kind to yourself. Treat yourself like a hibernating animal and make your space cozy and accept the winter lull as much as you can.

[@rubykentwell9880]

I have been making evil eye coasters while watching this - its so fun seeing what people make while im making my own stuff

[@kayisnotokayo7060]

I'm also going to my first craft fair at the end of this month, I am very unprepared for this but still very excited to sell a bunch of my stuff. I hope your craft fair goes smoothly and that you have fun making the items and have much luck selling them.

[@PataPtichou]

52:25 it’s about the dye! The dye process makes yarn thinner, so light colored yarns are always thicker than dark colored yarns, even if it is the exact same yarn, brand, size,etc.

[@ItzItalyTea]

7:53 Lil tip to be an outfit gurly pop✨ When creating outfits sometimes you want your bottom and top to be the same color because it'll ad a sense of closure to the outfits. Im not saying the dupe uggs are ugly or anything BUT it does feel like an unfinished story if you get what I mean. Of course this is a tip and my favorite way to style an outfit meaning its not a fashion law 💀✨. Appreciate the length of this video and Im so happy to see you're getting a masters 🙏. You're the best so keep up the good work 💜💖💙🫶

[@binkie3366]

So many cute things and the cardigan for your grandma is so beautifull and so sweet of you ❤

[@cielosbookishplans8455]

I have been working through the same coaster patterns! I 100% feel you about the tulip pattern! It looks so cute, but OMG, the idea of individually tying off each tulip :o

[@cambinhnguyen2106]

I really recommend this series. It’s so entertaining

[@Cat-Gods]

49:28 “AHH he’s biting my hand!” “Anyways” i cracked up 😂

[@SpacyMidnight]

I have PMDD and thank you for speaking just those words. It’s a very heavy thing to deal with each month. Track your mood and period. Track feelings and emotions. In all honesty. I’ve had it for years and didn’t know. I thought it was “just” ekkos from PPD. I tried medication for 8 months but I gained so much weight making me more depressed. I stopped medication and 5 years later I took my own life without “success”. There are more to that but make sure you track your mood and know that when you get down in that PMDD hole and think you will never get out, you look to your chart. It can’t help with every hopeless situation but it is helping me. It’s also good to inform those closest to you. PMDD is not only tears and tears. It’s anger and frustration that is not normal. It’s having the shortest fuze possible. Well that how it is for me. Good luck 🌱🏴‍☠️💚

[@cuppy3874]

You doing okay? I find that if I'm having a bad cycle I can find comfort in the pmdd subreddit. I also track my moods and symptoms per cycle and I agree it's really helpful to look at and bring me back to reality about it going away

[@SpacyMidnight]

@@cuppy3874 you are doing it ! The things that help 🌛🌝🌜 Iam not fine but I keep on doing. And with support I will survive it. It’s also worth to mention that women health related issues and problems have been overlooked. I am so thankful for research on menopause and female brain activity. It needs to be studied more and talked about. Females just going crazy don’t cut it anymore.

[@melbosich]

your products are the cuttiest!!! they're definitely going to be a success at the market!!!!!! i finished a granny square for a bag im making while watching this vlog!!! love this type of video!❤❤

[@victoriamashburn9895]

I have my first market in just over a month! I'm so excited and I'm also terrified 😂 I hope all goes well at your market!!!❤

[@TheSunrayGirl]

I used rice in a ceramwrap baggy to weigh down my plant. Super cheap and not noticeable in a pot ☺️ I would not use pantyhose and rice, though so no mould appears due to humidity ☺️

[@liesedelafonteyne2274]

You can also use dry rice instead of the pellets. Its probably less expensive and has the same effect. Love your videos btw!

[@saraht4603]

That coaster succulent is GENIUS... i might make one tonight!!!

[@IzzyFizzy63]

52:27 I have used those yarns before and the difference of the texture is because of the fiber, one is cotton and one is bamboo

[@sunsetchili27]

I love how long this video was and good luck at your market!!! I was crocheting a blue turtle while watching and he's nearly done 🐢

[@ItsssBrie.]

Early! Lol! Love you Paige❤ 2nd time asking for 50 Ideas for Chunky/Velvet yarn! I love what you’re doing for this vid though- I’m having my first ever market next week!

[@rachelrandolph2579]

I just got accepted to my first markets as well! PERFECT TIMING! We get to market prep together :,) excited for you, I hope you do amazing!

[@Khyra61]

Yes, S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is a thing. People usually get it in the winter months when there's less sunshine and you're not getting enough vitamin D. Talk to to your doctor about it. The dr. will probably recommend light therapy and vitamin D supplements.

[@heathercrochets]

Making my first granny hexicardi while watching you prepare for your craft fair.

[@Mp99000]

Omg I LOVE the „crochet with me“❤❤❤❤I made a black and Petrol striped beanie for my mum ❤❤❤❤

[@MyaMarieBoutique]

For the potted plants, i cut out and put a piece of cardboard at the bottom to make it flat and easier to stand up 😊

[@allyandpauldickinson7093]

have you considered just making a puff stitch in each space round the coaster that you found hard to work out? you could just connect each puff stitch with a chain one in between, i think that would also work and quite easy to do. Ally xx

[@yarnoverolive]

Hi! I'm a new subscriber and I love watching all your videos while working on my projects. I am just starting to open up my own crochet etsy store, and I've found out for the potted plants that sit on a table if you do the pot with thermal stitches its more sturdy!! This is also advice for anyone else who is making crochet plants and don't want to go buy the beads!

[@lucastm1631]

I hope everything goes perfectly for you! Love your videos with my whole heart ♡

[@DaniellesCrochetBarn]

Oh my goodness! I too am taking classes relating to teaching! Good luck to you! You can do it!

[@samlee_2005]

28:37 here a hack you can use a jar or a cup and put the sock In like a mini trash can that way it easyer😊

[@minini5571]

I’d recommend using 100% cotton yarn for all of your coasters. Acrylic just isn’t absorbent. Personally, I also think the coasters look much nicer when done in cotton. Best of luck with your student teaching!❤

[@LDaw_96]

To weight the potted plants you could use a few pebbles /rocks from all a dollar. Cheep, and authentic.

[@minini5571]

Yes! Also glass beads. All are way cheaper than the pellets.

[@Bellllllz]

One thing you could do before going to the dr. is take your vitamins, read up on it, make sure you're getting all that you're supposed to, and drinking more water than anything else. 1 soda, 2 waters.

[@Jessmall2004]

I've been diagnosed with PMDD and from what you said it definitely makes me think you have it so def go get it checked out x

[@charlotteweisserman9095]

can you talk a little about your booth application process? how did you decide which market and was it hard to secure a spot?

[@juli_7293]

Istg watching your crochet with me videos always feel like being on a phone call and crocheting together or just talking about the most random shit lol

[@isla_theegg]

making star granny squares for a patchwork bag while watching ! x

[@prettybathwater]

A few months ago i used to watch your videos weekly as they came out and crochet along and find patterns/inspiration from your videos all the time! i haven’t been on youtube recently besides podcasts because ive just been busy with school and life stuff. long story short a bed bug problem caused me to have to throw out all my yarn and i was evicted shortly after 😅 i haven’t been motivated to create since then but i last minute found out my school had an art fair for a day and signed up for a table to display my crochet stuff, which i only have a few pieces finished now lol and it’s in less than a month. i also only just found out yesterday that im allowed to sell stuff at the table too! 🥲😓 (idk if i’ll sell stuff based on time lmao). im so glad i found this series though and i have some people that are hopefully helping me get back into it and i can’t wait to watch the rest of the videos. thank you, you continue to inspire me ❤

[@anneosullivan4107]

Enjoyed your video. Great ideas. Thanks for sharing. Maybe some rice (uncooked) of course, might make a cheaper filler for the plant pot base. 🥰

[@katieduffy593]

Yes that's what i would use, rice or beans 😊

[@mainlysophia]

who thinks paige would be an A-MAY-ZING teacher like im jelly of those kids

[@shadowcat4077]

I do! Her fun personality and her sweet nature would make her absolutely marvelous for working bc with people and helping others learn!

[@caro12321]

love this, I'm excited for the next episode :) for the entirety of this video I worked on one granny square (I kept getting distracted by my phone lol) for a blanket I've been working on for over a year now...

[@BudgetwithIris]

How adorable……everything looks amazing. I am making stitch markers/placeholders.

[@macaronicrafts]

THREE MONTHS FULL TIME UNPAID!!!! SO out of touch and ridiculous to expect. Perfect way to get teachers that are either extremely privileged or extremely overworked. That aside, good for you for going for it anyways. Your line of products looks great and very springy! Best of luck to you in the market, and looking forward to the next episode.

I just subscribed a few days ago and I'm now playing random videos of yours... I'm 50+ years young and, other than my daughter, you might be a younger version. Why you might ask? The Joann lady! Don't be fake nice. I would rather you just be rude and done. 😂

[@astridellehjmaale9030]

OMG this is awesome! Been so exited for your next video!! I Love your channel! Could you maybe do 50 dark Academia Chrochet ideas (I’m like IN LOVE with Chrochet vests right now)

[@Kalimbarima]

Im maybe attending a market too at the end of the year! This video is perfect

[@gracegarmire75]

Omg your inventory is so cute but please charge a lil more! I would pay at least 5-7 for scrunchies and 20 for the plants !! These are all so cute though good luck!

Save yourself some $$ go to a thrift store and do a treasure hunt for a bed sheet for the table cloth. I found a beautiful sky blue bed sheet for single bed that had a matching dust ruffle. I took the ruffle and sewed it to the sheet . If you have the measurements for the table it will be easy to get a nice fit. I have been crocheting for over 50 years and I have lost count of the festivals I have been in. I am entering one for the fall. I am sharing a table with my daughter, who makes felted animals.

[@omazingpaige]

this is such a great idea!! i’m always on the hunt at thrift stores for fabrics but i didn’t even think of finding something to use as a table cloth!! thank you !!

[@kaijuchick3928]

seasonal depression hits a lot of people around me pretty hard, when the sun is up longer you should start to feel better. also, be a bit more gentle with the skin around your eyes during skincare bc that is the thinnest and most delicate skin other that that nicely done on the skincare 💗
