[@ASquareGranny]

Incredible!!! Your hard work is OBVIOUS and you absolutely deserved to be successful! Yay!!! Congratulations!!! ☺️🫶🏻🧶

[@backtoedencrochet]

Thank you so much!!

[@nabi5864]

$45 for those larger plushies in my eyes are very normal , if not slightly under priced

[@scootermom1791]

IMO every crocheted item is priceless considering the time it takes plus the cost of supplies (especially the yarn!). 😊

[@JessicasCozyCreations]

I really enjoy your chill personality! Keep up the hard work ❤️

[@norelleholgate8930]

Sweet lady. I love how you supported fellow vendors thereby acknowledging your shared creativity.

I absolutely love using those folding bamboo shelves for craft shows. I even have other sellers ask me where I get them. They are so easy to transport, look amazing, and are inexpensive. I also use wood crates like you have! It's really interesting to hear what you sold. I did two craft shows last year at the end of October/beginning of November and the items that sold were so different at each. I don't sell much crochet (I repurpose quilts and vintage textiles) but I did throw in a couple crochet ear warmers and tons of crochet pumpkins that I made while I had covid and was bed-ridden for a month. Those items sold like crazy, especially the pumpkins, so I'm going to incorporate more crochet items in this fall's shows. I find the same thing as you where some scoff at prices and others are perfectly fine with it. My products are somewhat niche and I realize that not everyone sees the value in what I make, but plenty do. Keep up the hard work - your items are amazing!

[@backtoedencrochet]

Thank you for sharing your experiences! I love the folding shelves. I had one for awhile and bought a second one because I love them so much. I might get a third 🙈

[@kimethaturner152]

You have a great setup and a beautiful smile! Good job on the background music i was jamming tapping my foot and head bobbing LoL 😂

[@backtoedencrochet]

Thank you so much!!

[@tamisabo2797]

Beautiful booth. You popped up on my feed, subscribed. I do markets as well but I’m a knitter with a touch of crochet. All of my stuffies/dolls are knit. I think you have some beautiful items and your colours are on point. Congratulations on your success! I also admire your assertiveness in replying to negative feedback. You’re doing great!

[@backtoedencrochet]

Oh thank you!

[@AubreyAaden]

Your booth display is beautiful. I love the neutral tones.

[@backtoedencrochet]

Thank you!

[@margaretadhikari9855]

Wow wow!!❤❤ The setup is beautiful,

[@backtoedencrochet]

[@ClaireTheCrochetLady]

[@backtoedencrochet]

Thanks for subbing!

[@apoetsnote]

Would you share the pattern/video on the sweaters please. Love your whole set up.

[@backtoedencrochet]

There is a KZbin tutorial by craftinacuppa

[@deborahjump9156]

May I ask what price point they were?

[@elizapowell7262]

Your work is beautiful 😍

[@backtoedencrochet]

Thank you! 😊

[@MelodeeCrochetNook]

Love your booth set up!

[@backtoedencrochet]

Thank you!

[@thatswhatmamamakes]

Everything looks great! I was wondering if you could explain how you get the patches on the cup coozies.

[@backtoedencrochet]

I have a few videos I made in the fall showing. I embroidery the patches and glue them on.

[@norelleholgate8930]

Oh what dialogue did you have with customers when taking an active approach to selling? Helpful info to share.

[@backtoedencrochet]

I always like to invite people to touch and feel everything. People seem to think they’re not allowed to touch things but I think something as simple as “Hi! Feel free to touch anything. All the yarns are very soft.” Really welcomes people without being pushy and it’s open ended too. They can just smile back or say thanks or ask questions. I like to be welcoming but also not make people think they need to speak to me.

[@paulinaplewik9464]

Can I ask you to share the link for the pattern of your lovely granny square cardis ? They are too cute 😍

[@backtoedencrochet]

They’re by craftinacuppa on KZbin. She has a tutorial video.

[@noubussey]

I love your pegboard! Can you share how it is set up?

[@backtoedencrochet]

I have it zip tied to a photography back drop frame. It’s linked in my Amazon storefront.

[@theresabuzzell5498]

WOW what a beautiful booth. I love your items 💗, what do you use for yarn for the beanie hats and weight

[@backtoedencrochet]

Thank you! I use a 4 weight yarn that is a soft acrylic

[@sarahmarks1560]

Can you link the mouse, bee, cat and opossum pattern you use please!??

[@toro8star]

Your booth looks amazing!! I glad this was a successful market for you! How much do you sell your beanies for?

[@backtoedencrochet]

Thank you! I sell them for $30 if they have a pom pom and patch.

[@zoi1538]

Where do you get the patches you sewed on the knit hats, please? Thank you!

[@backtoedencrochet]

On Etsy. There are a lot of shops that sell them. They’re faux leather patches b

[@prettycave]

Your peg board is great! Did u make it?

[@backtoedencrochet]

Yes. It is a peg board zip tied to a photography back drop. It works but I’m switching to something else.

[@littleone363]

What size weight yarn and hook did you use for the cute sweater cardigans?

[@backtoedencrochet]

I use 4 weight acrylic yarn, 6 mm hook, with the hexicardigan pattern

[@kathywilliams015]

Where did you get the packaging for your cozies? That really look professional. Very clean look. I looked through your Amazon store but, I didn’t see what I thought was the same thing. Thank you.

[@backtoedencrochet]

I printed everything myself and just put them in a small poly bag.

[@kathywilliams015]

Did you cut out the cup insert with a cricket or something similar? I’ve watched this video a few times. I love that you have more than just toys. So many different things. I have not done a market yet obviously still doing research 😂. I will start working on more different items. Thank you for sharing your set up. It looks very welcoming.

[@Aubrey-h9u]

Where did u get that ducks and goose pattern love the set up I have my first market tomorrow so nervous

[@backtoedencrochet]

Good luck tomorrow!! The duck is by TheCosyStitch on Etsy

[@Aubrey-h9u]

@@backtoedencrochet thank you!!

[@izzyswanson5042]

What pattern are you using for the Gnomes?

[@backtoedencrochet]

Goldnspun. It’s free on her insta

[@HighCliffCraftyCreations]

Where do you get your cozy patches?

[@backtoedencrochet]

I make them using my embroidery machine but I’ve seen them being sold on Etsy too.

[@lindsaycate2429]

Do you mind me asking what you price your snugglers at? I’m struggling deciding what is fair and curious what others are going for! Love your setup and aesthetic! 🤩

[@backtoedencrochet]

If you watch my previous video, I say all the prices for my stuffies. Just make sure you charge a fair price to yourself!! They take a lot of work.

[@lindsaycate2429]

@@backtoedencrochet thanks so much!!

[@ashleydefrain7839]

Never would have thought about putting a pegboard on the table, that’s a great idea! Can I ask where you got your cards to put the cup cozies on?

[@backtoedencrochet]

I can’t remember the shop name, but I found the template on etsy. Just search cup cozy template and it should pop up!

[@SydneySaves5]

I think you need more energy behind what you’re saying I think enthusiasm helps a ton!!

[@dantosinferne]

Long silence after bad music then you wont even share the actual numbers? Ok.

[@backtoedencrochet]

It’s my video, my channel, my business. Some people like to share how much money they make. I have chose to not share for many reasons. No one forced you to watch 😊

[@dantosinferne]

@backtoedencrochet and when you post publicly, you will get criticism. Mine is fair so take it as you will. I won't be returning to watch more, but others might, sure. you deserved to know why you lost a viewer. Most people watching this kind of content are crocheters interested in markets, right? So they are probably crocheting while watching, aka put you on for background noise. Not for silence or for a longterm dj. And they're probably interested in the business side. Which means the numbers matter. You do you. But if you're that uncomfortable sharing the numbers, you probably shouldn't make publicly available content about selling your products where your audience will primarily be other small businesses interested in doing markets too. Plenty of small businesses die because their response to criticism is "it's MY business! I'll run it how I want!", which isn't wrong, but that attitude has ruined many entrepreneurs. believe me on that one.....good luck out there
