I've made lots of purses. Here's a tip. Since you are lining the bags, all you need to do is have the tail ends in-between the lining & the crochet, as long as they are tied off enuf so not to unravel. Or crochet over the tails & then leave a bit of the tail inside.

[@BlondieKnots]

Love this, thank you!

[@user-om4gn9lw3v]

I loved mindlessly crocheting a blanket to this ❤

[@BlondieKnots]

I love that! Sounds so cozy!!

[@georgiacorey954]

Cute backpack boxes. It'd put a key tag on the mini plushies & call them Back Pack Mystery Buddies. They would be a Back Pack Buddy in a back pack box.

[@BlondieKnots]

That is so funny I cut out the part of the video where I ramble on about making them backpack buddies!! Great minds think alike! Thank you for the advice !🥰

[@silkelectric]

Hair clips are cuuuuute! FYI - if you have a heat/label printer for shipping labels you can use it to make stickers with your label, question marks, whatever.

[@BlondieKnots]

Thank you!! And oh really?? It might be time for me to get one of those, thank you so much for the advice. Ill absolutely be looking into it 🥰

[@bethhays8510]

Just found your channel and I’m so happy to find another maker/ market girl who doesn’t do only plushies! I am located in Southern Illinois and sell granny square bags and cardigans along with other crochet things at local markets!

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh yay!! I love that!! How fun that you sell bags and cardigans! It is soooo nice to find other markers who focus on more than just plushies!! 🥰

[@_kate.made_]

It looks like the pastel bag has mini carrots in the middle🥰😇 So cute!

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh that would be cute! lol they are daisies but I love the mini carrots idea! lol Thank you so much 🥰

[@_kate.made_]

I mean in the actual crochet bag the orange and green yarn in the middle looks like mini carrots😍😀

Try cutting circles out of printable sticker paper with your cricut joy, and then stamp it! Potentially an easy way to make stickers with what you already have!! :))

[@BlondieKnots]

Thats a great idea! Thank you so much! (:

When I knit I use a boppy pillow to rest my arms on and it really help relieve the tension in my shoulders. The boppy is kinda small around, so I am hoping to buy a Valari soon. They are more expensive, but would fit better around.

[@BlondieKnots]

Ohh I definitely need something like that! Ill have to look into those, have never heard of it before! Thank you!

I was so excited about your extra dowel 😂 I love your style, I would purchase literally everything you showed lol I did mystery duck eggs for Easter but I love how the boxes can be used anytime and they were cute! I would totally reuse that box if I bought one.

[@BlondieKnots]

Suggestion for your coated paper backpacks . I stamp my logo on a premade Avery blank circle sticker and add that to stuff that doesn’t take ink well. You could also try a solvent ink like stazon. Hope that helps. Also I’m totally a Jo-Ann coupon queen too! ❤🧁

[@BlondieKnots]

OMG youre genius! How did I not think of this, what a great cheap way to have custom stickers!! Thank you so much thats an incredible idea I will be implementing! and yay! Youre my kind of girl, Go us coupon queens 🥰

[@amigurumininja2569]

Hey just found you love what you do x

[@diana1096]

Could you do a tutorial on sewing the material into the bags, especially the tags? Do you sew it material side up so your machine doesn't get stuck on the crochet?

[@BlondieKnots]

Yes ! I have a full tutorial on the bag and liner you can find on my channel!! I hope you find it helpful!!

[@angelahill-martin1606]

Hi Dana I am new here. Like your video.

[@BlondieKnots]

Welcome, Im so happu youre enjoying the video. I hope you'll subscribe and stick around!

[@CCgirl2083]

You can use blank stickers on the slippery boxes then stamp it.

[@BlondieKnots]

Thats a great idea! Thank you!!

[@JoanneRd1]

Bonjour. Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne. Bravo pour celle-ci. 😊 J’aimerais savoir à quel endroit je pourrais me procurer les crochets avec lequel tu travailles dans cette vidéo? Merci beaucoup et bonne continuité. 😊

[@user-br2mf5yf3g]

You should just attach a tag to the backpack so people can use it for other things after without it saying mystery box and then they get to take the tag off their new bag, like a backpack in the store

[@BlondieKnots]

ohhh i didnt think about that! Thank you for that idea!

[@crochetbysadieee]

i just started my small business, and i’m doing a market here in a month. do you have any tips for a beginner like me?? love your channel btw!!

[@sterlingcrafted]

I LOVE those hair clips. Where did you get the flower pattern from?

[@BlondieKnots]

Thank you! There is no pattern for these, I just winged it!

[@LisCrochetYT]

What yarn do you use for the granny squares? They just look so…nice. Mine never look so good

[@BlondieKnots]

In this video I am just using big twist value acrylic yarn. Have you ever tried blocking your squares after? That makes all the difference for me!

[@cindicleee]

❤❤

[@tkgosselin]

Dana,I don't know anything about the romanian cord. Does it have much stretch? I hate stretchy straps! Do you crochet with a gaming/crochet pillow? I was skeptical, but I can crochet for hours in end no neck, shoulder, elbow pain. I can't speak for back pain as I have had chronic pain for the past 20 years, so I can say it doesn't get worse, lol.

[@BlondieKnots]

one of the best parts of the romanian cord is it has little to no stretch! ( depending on the yarn you use) I love it because I too hate a stretchy strap. And oh interesting, I might need one because I do get shoulder and back pain pretty often. Im so sorry about your chronic back pain but I do really appreciate you sharing that recommendation with me!

[@Zarbaft2]

ممنون از آموزش عالی

[@GabbieKrysten]

Everything looks so good!! 🫶🏼 What needle/settings do you use to sew the lining on your bags? I’ve tried using my machine to sew the lining on my fanny packs but something always goes wrong!

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh no!! Im so sorry to hear that. I have to say Im unsure of the needle in my sewing machine, it's just the standard needle that came in my singer heavy duty 4452. I have it on level 4 tension and level 2 width. I hope that helps, Im sorry Im not extremely familiar with sewing!

[@paipai2052]

I struggle with the same issue

[@chiaraxo1239]

can you do a video on pricing? for me its just a hard thing to decide on

[@BlondieKnots]

I do have some videos called "will it market" where I show you how to breakdown the price of something to make it and still make a profit! Let me know if you find either of those helpful!

[@danijohnson1038]

Do you have a video of lining your bags? Do you sew by hand or with machine?

[@BlondieKnots]

Yes I do have a video of how I make the purse and how I sew the liner into the bag! I personally using the sewing machine

[@Kccp7]

You can put scotch tape on the written part so it doesn´t fade

[@BlondieKnots]

I was thinking about that too!

[@user-gb6sc9fi1b]

Let me have some

[@keynankimme1985]

What is the best yarn to make Granny squares?

[@BlondieKnots]

for acrylic personally, Big Twist Value. For cotton I like both lily sugar and cream and also Lion brand 24 / 7 cotton yarn

[@JanetBoitos-qf7jj]

how is the Joanne’s near you? they are like a ghost town around here ( metro Detroit area). No employees, no inventory and absolutely no customer service

[@BlondieKnots]

My Joanns is pretty good! Unfortunately they are extremely short staffed at my location and so they do the best they can! Luckily our inventory stays quite stocked and thats all I really need. Im sorry you have that experience with the Joanns near you!
