I remember watching your videos when you first started!! So proud of how far you’ve come!❤❤

[@reigningcharmz]

Aw thank you so much🥹

[@sheepwillowgifts9650]

I love watching your Market Prep videos while doing my Market Prep, they motivate me to keep going, I don’t know about you, but after awhile I start losing my crojo after the 50th plushie. But seeing other market preppers like you is inspiring. So, thanks!

[@reigningcharmz]

Aw awesome I’m so glad!☺️ I enjoy watching other crocheter’s market preps too while prepping!

A messy craft room is the sign of a creative mind. Anyway that is what I tell myself when I look at my craft room

[@Ash-qg2rf]

Girl I feel your struggle! I am trying to get 500 items made by April 5th. I'm a vendor at our rodeo that is 15 days long and I am panic making. I have 370 made so I dont think I will make my goal Your inventory is so impressive!

[@reigningcharmz]

Girllll 15 days!?!? That’s wild!! You got this tho you already made wayyy more than I did!☺️

[@Ash-qg2rf]

Yes and I have a market this weekend and the weekend after the rodeo. I might have packed myself tight this spring. Praying we both do very well this spring! @@reigningcharmz

[@reigningcharmz]

[@theresabuzzell5498]

Yay, glad you're back

[@juchlu3081]

Hello Karis, I just found you and now I must tell you that I fell in love with all your crocheted figures, especially with your little sleepy bear and the small green dinos. You definitely inspired me to try to crochet something other than loops. And now I'm off to watch more of your videos. I like your personality, how you think and talk. Have a nice weekend with your crocheted little friends. Greetings from Germany, Jutta

[@reigningcharmz]

Hello!! Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed my videos☺️

[@judymckinstry8130]

You go girl!!

[@mommajessiesboutique]

Nicely done! 🎉

[@MelodyGirl203]

I hope your market goes well ❤️❤️❤️and I don’t think my hands would survive 😂 I’ve crocheted plushies in the past and I got tired and my hands started to hurt so quickly. I envy you for that ❤️😂

[@reigningcharmz]

Thank you!! And yesss, I had to take TONS of breaks for sure lol

[@lindacastellan7747]

Everything looks great!Lots of work!

[@trish-u9f]

LOVE the jumbo elephant. the big ears reminds me of Dumbo!!! So cute. Also love the jumbo jelly fish.

14:54 made me burst out laughing, this video is so great thank you for sharing! i really admire your work, i just started crochet and i don’t know much yet but im super excited for the journey :)

[@galaxywolffpix2879]

You made a plushie army!!

[@carleighjunior8913]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the elephant!!!!

[@minini5571]

I think milliner’s wire would work well for those giant elephant ears! It’s the same wire that I use for my bucket hats to keep the brim from flopping down. He’s really adorable as is though!❤

[@reigningcharmz]

Ooo I didn’t know that was a thing! I’ll have to check it out, thank you!

[@mightymia10]

🦩🦩🦩 I can't wait to make the octo with the tentacles and the baby elephant. Thank you!!!

[@MadeByChinkee]

That’s a lot. But I’m so glad that you put this out. It’s a confirmation to me that it’s doable and I’m not just wishful thinking when planning to make inventory for the monthlong market that I want to be a part of. 🤭 By the way, I hope this helps with regards to the keychains. I attach them while putting the finishing touches of the toy. Example, I put the white specks on the mushrooms after closing it up, and attach the ring along the way. ☺️

[@reigningcharmz]

It is definitely doable! You got this!☺️ and honestly, that’s a great idea😂 I’m going to have to try that

[@MadeByChinkee]

@@reigningcharmz it’s time saving. Like, you attach the rings while putting the wings on the bees too. You just pass the yarn thru the jump ring a couple of times while securing the wings.

[@carlaalls]

I did the elephant in same colours in the thicker yarn and my head was heavy too but still cute

[@alma94x]

Literally sitting here making the chubby dino when you showed it 😅 Don't have the same yarn you use but it's looking good so far!

[@marydalton7266]

I love to watch your channel

[@MakennaShin]

Omg!! I have also used CrochetByGenna's turtle pattern!!!!!!

[@saraswebscrochet3333]

Super cute! ❤ Amazing job 😃. What pattern are the little chicks in the swing?

[@debbieward-crochet]

Enjoy you videos!

[@michaelacobb7956]

I love the purple turtle❤ I would make one but one of my first projects I ATTEMPTED was a turtle and I never finished I’m still traumatized 😂

[@Sn0wcon3_]

Wow :O

[@Sierra4]

5:08 Is it just me, or does the pillow on the bear look a bit like a coffee cup?? Still adorable though!

[@crazychick]

I use a metal straw to slide onder the metal ring slit and then theead the item hole over the straw and wala sone

[@Muffin_GhxstYT]

Where do you get the pattern for the little mushroom boi?

[@debrawalters7688]

You could try changing the shape of the elephant ears. Elephant ears are flappy .

[@crestinalovely6400]

Just found you. This is amazing!! Just curious what type of job you have. I would love to have a job with that much downtime to crochet! ❤

[@reigningcharmz]

I’m an ekg tech! There’s lots of downtime just waiting for the next patient. Some people read and I crochet 😁

[@crestinalovely6400]

@@reigningcharmz thank you for sharing! That's awesome!

[@morgans883]

I have my first market on the 20th and this video is extremely helpful! When you’re finished making something and tie it off how do you make sure it doesn’t come back out or come untied? That is the thing I’m most worried about since I have a few things where the excess yarn comes back out. Thank you so much for this video

[@reigningcharmz]

How exciting!! And I make sure to overly secure things cause I worry about that too. After I tie off and I go to hide the yarn, I make sure to come out of a stitch and back through a few times and that helps keep it from coming loose. I hope that made sense ☺️

[@debraweger1272]

What type or better yet brand of yarn do you use for plushie do you use?

[@teresapaliwoda]

Love your videos! I saw a giant rhino! Where's the pattern for that, please?

[@reigningcharmz]

@@teresapaliwoda thank you!! And I think you’re looking for the triceratops! That’s by thenicolechase on Etsy 😁

[@teresapaliwoda]

@@reigningcharmz I found it because I watched the next video! Enjoy them!

Hi! If I started crocheting today how long should I wait until my first craft show?

@@mbkgjfek hello! Until you have enough to decently fill one 6 foot table, including displays☺️

[@sophiekane2316]

What yarn do you use and where do you get it?

[@xniksie]

Girl! How do you crochet with those nails

[@myaerba6601]

do you have the mini octo pattern?? BECAUSE OMG

[@queenkayla28]

Hi👋🏾 I know this is an older video, but I just started making amigurumi last month. I have wanted to make bigger plushies for a while now. I watched a tutorial on enlarging patterns, but I didn't get it. I noticed that we use the same elephant pattern. I was wondering how did you enlarge it? Do you have a pattern or video, or can you explain it? Thanks so much for any help you can give. Great video 🥰

[@reigningcharmz]

Hello! This tip is actually going to be included in my next tips and tricks video coming out next week, but basically you can alter a patterns size by increasing the yarn size and the hook size. If it recommends a weight 4, try a weight 6, and a hook to go with the weight 6☺️

[@SimplyJayCreations]

What pattern do you use for the chicks on swings? They are so cute!!

[@reigningcharmz]

By closeknitcrochett on Etsy!☺️

[@SimplyJayCreations]

Thank you!!!! Do you add extra rows to yours?

[@reigningcharmz]

@@SimplyJayCreations i dont ☺

[@Alexis-xt2cf]

you should do loaf cats

[@laurenneilunderwood4563]

What size hook do you use on your Triceratops?

[@Angie-Who]

Could you create a pattern if I suggested one? I saw this jumper thing in an ad and would love to make one but I can't find anything on google.

[@SkylerUnknown12]

Hey im gonna do a market (my first lol) and i want to know what you sell easiest. I normally make dinosaurs and minis octos, any recommendations?:)

[@reigningcharmz]

Mini octos are great! And anything small that you can make quickly that everyone can afford is always a great place to start. Gummy bears, mushroom pop-it’s, mini bees, etc. It’ll give you more inventory, and more people will be able to afford them. Especially little kiddos who only have a little bit to spend ☺️

[@oneeyewitch]

do you stuff them with something?

[@teresab126]

Just found you! You have been very busy! Did you make the sweater you are wearing in the clip with the summer top? If so, can you direct me to the pattern please? ❤❤

[@reigningcharmz]

I did not make that one haha I wish I did! It was from rue21 though like 10 years ago😂

[@Goofballsssss]

I would love this job I need school tho rip

[@CathySmith-ix2on]

Amazing amount of stock. How do you price your items?

[@reigningcharmz]

Based off how long they take, how complicated they are, and how much yarn it took to make ☺️

[@Mel79439]

Where do you get your boxes from? Love your work!!

[@reigningcharmz]

Thank you! And which boxes?

[@EchoatTheOakAnchor]

Im curious what you price the big dragons at

[@renukha7001]

How do you price your crochet products??

[@marriethesassycrafter6324]

Be honest. How long did this take you

[@caveira6449]

Is there a pattern for the chick on swing?

[@reigningcharmz]

By closeknitcrochett on Etsy!☺️

[@Ninjaloops93]

What are the prices of each plush. How do you price them?

[@reigningcharmz]

I price them based off how much in materials it cost to make and how much time it took to make. I try to aim for $15/hr on my time. I hope to increase that a little bit in the future ☺️

[@alysonpalomo3599]

Everytime I tell myself that I need to make duplicates I just end up making other projects instead 😭

[@jesusfollower5588]

Do you need to have a business license to do a market? What do they ask you for?

[@reigningcharmz]

My business is registered as a sole proprietorship, but you don’t necessarily need it. The big markets will give you a sheet of paper explaining how to report your sales tax to your state under your personal name if you don’t have a business license. But this is what I know from Oklahoma. It’s important to check with your state and what their laws are cause every state is different ☺️

[@tydino101]

[@jillianbruley4150]

Anybody know if there is a pattern for that jumbo triceratops?
