Working on dish cloths while watching this video. Two nights ago I attended a Major League Baseball game and of course brought my crocheting. Crazy ... they put me on TV crocheting while watching the game! The sportscasters said I was multitasking by "knitting" while watching the game. During the 7th inning stretch, the camera was on me again, crocheting while singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game. The sportscasters mentioned that they had been corrected by someone and clarified that I was crocheting, not knitting. Too funny! Maybe I should charge more for those dish cloths since they were seen by millons on TV. LOL

I had to comment on the love of stuffed animals, even as an adult. As a child, I had Blue Dog that my Godfather gave me at birth. Blue Dog was a very important part of my childhood and he even gave me a Christmas gift each year. Mom would tell me the story of how he saved his allowance and rode the bus downtown to shop for me. I loved Blue Dog! Skip ahead to my teen years and Blue Dog still sleeps on my bed. When I was 19, I broke my back in a windsurfing accident and when I woke up in the recovery room from the surgery, Blue Dog was in bed with me. Can you imagine the conversation my mom must have had with the medical staff to get the now extremely faded and slightly grimey Blue Dog into the sterile environment of the recovery room?? LOL Anyway, Love your creations and I get great ideas from your videos. Thanks!

[@AmandaCrochets]

I would love a business card template! Thanks for all the tips and tricks Camryn! 🎉

I had a VERY successful start of my market season. I was supposed to start in March but with several deaths in my family including my mom who taught be how to crochet years ago, I was not prepared for a March market. I was still way under prepared for my June markets. The opening day to the farmer's market was fantastic, but the comic con even last weekend blew everything out of the water. I wish I was more prepared for it, but I also took some short cuts to save time such as not tagging everything and have a clear price list displayed. I like the price list for my more niche items so that I can mark somethings up for the markets with higher vendor fees. The comic con was $100 vs my $50 for a full season of my farmer's market. I'm taking a few days off after pushing myself last week to do last minute projects.

[@camryns_cute_creations]

That's so awesome to hear that you had a great start to the season! :) Yes! You definitely deserve a couple days off!

[@EH-dw3wb]

I love watching these videos before bed. I’m from Australia and so jealous over how easy it is for everyone overseas to get access to awesome yarn and all the markets you can sell at

[@MystLily]

I'm from Australia also and it's tragic what we can get our hands on and especially in spotlight, it is so bloody boring. I'm about to do an overseas order because I'm dying with the limited colour selection and them always being out of stock for the great colours

[@danyellewalters501]

I working on Bonnie the bunny! It is honestly the easiest most beautiful bunny I have ever made. And I’ve made a lot of bunnies! The pattern is mod threads.

I had to give up my craftroom for my Son and his girlfriend, I am a card maker so not easy to have it out anywhere else in this new house. But better than them being homeless. It won't be forever and I can work on doing a diamond dot painting for the time being to keep the creative juices going. And watching you of course.

Love the new amigurumi tags! I've been using your original tags because I still like to put care instructions on them. Can't wait to use the new ones!

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for the eye embroidery tutorial!!! This has literally been the only thing stopping me from being happy with my chickens!! I recently went through and removed all the embroidered eyes that I already did because I hated how they looked so much. 😂 I just now did one following your tutorial, and it actually looks adorable!!! 😅🥰

So as I'm laid up I'm writing down patterns I want to do when I can. I can't wait to see more of your video's. Thank you for all you do to help the restof us.

[@MystLily]

I think the mamamademinis Beam bear would be a great addition to your plushy inventory. I'm onto my second make for next market and the reason I chose this bear is because a customer was looking for something Traditional over the other fancier items I make and now I'm obsessed with this adorable little bear. The mouse you make is what got me loving MMM designs and their latest plushies over stuffies is so so cuddly

[@Rebecca.twistedboutique]

I'm working on scrunchies for coworkers but I'm using regular acrylic yarn right now since I can't afford the velvet and blanket yarn

That's so nice of you to be making those for them!

[@jobe2301]

Great pattern choices, great inventory! You have a very good eye for aesthetically pleasing inventory :) One tip for quality in amigurumi is tight stitching - if you can see little holes or if a child could shove a finger in and touch stuffing, go tighter! Also, i love your embroidered eyes! 😊

[@CindyCorrellus]

All your new plushies are awesome. You're amazing 🤩. I'm still crocheting away getting ready for fall. I haven't given up!

Working on a cow snuggler and I totally have trouble selling the first one I make. Thanks for sharing your cow and other patterns. I have been looking for one that does not take as long as some of the ones I have tried. I also have been stressing over safety eyes. I may switch to embroidery.

I am working on a spider currently b/c i'm prepping for fall. I am 3 weeks out of carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve release surgery and after 20+ years of not being able to crochet due to pain and numbness, I am back at it and happier than ever. I recently heard another creator say that the best way to feel prepared for a market is to set a goal for the market. say you wanna make $500 at your next market. the way to feel prepared is to make sure you have $500 worth of product to take with you to the sale. I feel like that is a key component to feeling prepared for a sale. I'm really sad that I cant remember who it was, at the time I had no idea the advice would come back up, ya know? but credit is due to them.
