Was It a Market Day Disaster or Unexpected 2025 Success

[@Implied_Confessions]

The logic of some people never ceases to amaze me. You did indeed "get your foot in the door"! Any vendor knows that it takes regulars backing out for a new person to get in. That's called " getting your foot in the door" because now you'll be considered over those that "didn't want it". I don't understand why that person felt they needed to rain on your parade and try to steal your joy. I'm so happy it was a great market for you!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thank you! Maybe she was jealous because she wasn’t there, who knows! 😂

[@craftysue519]

You did so great! I’m just thrilled for you. I know how bad you wanted this chance and you got it girlfriend!! What a way to start your year! On to the next adventure!! 🦋💖

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thanks Sue!! I can hardly wait to see what happens there in March!!! 🥰

[@cheridefries4980]

Yay for you! So glad you had such a great market! Your set up looked amazing and I was surprised how many plushies you had. Hope this is a sign of good things to come! 😁

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thank you! Me too!! I still had more at home 😂

[@nancywilliams798]

Congratulations on a very successful market 🎉 ❤ Hope you get many more opportunities for that one 💕 Funny you mention that duck, I was literally sewing the head on one while I was watching 😊. Have a great day 🧶

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I feel like it’s been forever since I made one of those ducks! I like them a lot! With spring just around the corner I may have to whip up a few of them.

[@serendipibri_creations]

Your inventory is just amazing! Wowee!! I can’t believe that rude person said that to you 😤

[@camillescrochet777]

Congratulations on a fantastic market!!! What a way to start 2025 ❤🎉!!

Thanks so much! It was a fun one!!

[@CherylDathome]

So glad you had an awesome market.

[@joanprince733]

Congratulations on your successful event. Here's to a great 2025. From sunny but chilly Spain.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thank you! You too!

[@Beeknottycrochet]

Woohoo CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

[@AntisocialAuntie]

I noticed "Anchor" was gone! Yay! I am so glad you are starting 2025 with a successful market. 🧡 I look forward to you still being at the market during the busier months since you definitely did get your foot in the door (some people really enjoy trying to crush positivity - and most I know are confused why no one hangs out with them 🙄)

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thanks Nic I’m scheduled to be there in March then you have to reapply for the next 6 months. Which I definitely will!! I would love to get it for November and December. I’m sending out your dragon in tomorrow’s mail.

[@AntisocialAuntie]

@KnottingHookCrochet I hope you get the holiday markets there! That would be great! Thank you for the heads up - I am almost done moving everything around in the nerd room and now the pressure is on to be ready! Lol!

[@bryzcrochet]

Very impressive stock. You are wonderful. I have about 60 items just sitting on my shelves because my family is tired of crochet presents. Lol.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

You may have a market in your future 😁

[@blueheartcrochet1962]

[@Gotjava]

So glad to hear that you had a successful market 🎉 You are so right about how people love looking for buried treasures. My husband and I found that out when we had a few yard sales. We sold more when we just put out bins of stuff instead of trying to display everything. Hope 2025 is a great year for you ❤

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Right! I worry about having things neat and tidy on the table, that’s out the door 😂

[@noraspence2671]

I'm so glad that you got in this market! It sounds great! Going to try some baskets at my next market!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thanks Nora! 🥰

[@travelcrochet]

Congratulations, what a fantastic start to 2025! I have about 8 baskets at each market as I worked out psychologically people love to search through them to find their items!! It does help, I just have the biggest items separate. Looking forward to your next makes and markets! We are about to head to Broome here in Australia, which at this time of year is like Florida, really hot & humid and chance of cyclones!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Try to stay cool! I’m definitely going to find a few more.

Brilliant, I'm so happy for you that it went well. I tidied up all my scrunchies in neat colour stacks in the baskets. Sold 6. When they are all chucked in any way, I sell loads. Glad you got your foot in the door and ha ha to the horrid person.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Isn’t it odd how that works! I think maybe she was jealous

[@erikasmakes834]

So glad you had such a great market to start the new year. Als, you may want to consider setting up tap to pay on your phone as another option for future any future reader issues. They just tap their card to the back of your phone.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I have that it didnt work either

[@nancywhite7036]

Great market.. i have 10 so far for this year. I key in the numbers of the credit card manually when my square messed up.. love your set-up. 😊

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Don't they charge a higher fee for manual entry?

[@Rachellovesyarn]

Robin I am so happy to hear you had a wonderful market. Fingers crossed this year is successful 🤞.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Congratulations Robin on the market. Very happy for you. I did well on my market in December. Anxious for some more. Working on the scrappy bear. It’s fun trying to figure out the colors. Great video. Love watching you.

@KnottingHookCrochet I think so too. Good thing you got the invite!

[@justdi3347]

Hi Robin, I have been enjoying your channel so much. I love how you sorta tell a story in every on. I just recently purchased and made 2 so far of the Macon Bacon Piggy, I just love him. I have stuff in a shop here in my town and looking to put some cat related things into a little shop that one would pay to go pet a kitty. Kinda a different kind of business but I’m hoping the owners will agree to put some of my toys in with a !5% to their adoption organization they support. Could you tell me what patterns you use for the kitty’s you have made? I’m also looking to try again to set up a table at our local farmers market. Anyway, I’m glad you had a great market and I look forward to your next video. Have a wonderful evening.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoy my videos, the Macon Bacon is definitely a fave.

[@deniseduenas6304]

I love those babies can you share where you got the pattern? I am glad it was perfect market for you!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

On the friendly red fox blog

[@jayc6159]

I used to sell a lot of magnets. If I display them nice on an upright board they hardly sold, if I spread them out on the table they sell like crazy. People must just like digging or searching. I thought maybe it’s because they are so pretty and organized on the board that people didn’t want to disturb it but if they are scattered they don’t mind touching them.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

It is interesting how people interact with displays! It seems the things on the table vs racks sell much better

[@chatelainmakes9830]

Not sure if you guys in the States can do e-transfer but it is an option here in Canada. I often use that mode for my co-workers

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Like Zelle or Venmo yes we do. I just signed up for it

[@jackieschneider7354]

Mallard lovey and a dragon gone. But I would have to view 10x to figure out what else is gone 😂. I might have to put my mini birds and keychains in baskets. You did really well in my opinion, over $600 is a win to me! Hopefully you can squeak in again.

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I am in March!! I will have more baskets for them to dig through 😂😂

[@jackieschneider7354]

@ Great!!! Stuff that other person’s comment reason why you got in this time. Oops, did I say that out loud?

[@debbiebergman1700]

If your having trouble with your storage space on your phone, you should look into getting a sd card. Happy for you on your market, and you make me laugh everytime you say inappropriate elephant..😂

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

I’ve figured it out now but before I realized that the phone stored deleted items for 30 days before it’s really deleted I dumped most of my photos.

Yes, people like to hunt for “treasures “. People actually get paid figuring this stuff out. Don’t exactly know what that job is unless it’s just marketing. Also knowing psychology helps with selling. Congratulations on your sells.
