What Keeps Me Motivated? Q&A PassioKnit Kelsie

[@plate232]

As someone who also suffers with chronic migraines, I am even more impressed with everything that you've accomplished. You are an inspiration! Thank you for everything you do and for sharing with the world ❤

[@Shadoweyes07]

I’ve done the “I can’t adult today” cross stitch! Was super simple and I still laugh/smile whenever I look at it :)

[@flymetothemoon13]

If you do tapestry tutorials I would be SO HERE FOR IT!!! I want to make cute anime crochet tapestries, but it seems overwhelming!

[@rosephinebakerson2701]

Love hearing you do such a low key, chill video. More like this would be great and maybe would give you less anxiety about posting. I'd also love to see an unedited Crochet With Me video that I could put on while I'm working on my projects. Maybe add some duty-free lofi and make a playlist on your channel for them. Anyway, keep it up!

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

Thank you! You are sweet :)

[@emlynnasmr6176]

Yes yes yes I’ve only found like 2 crotchet with me videos that I actually like and they’re both by Ikoxun!!

Kelsie I am so happy I've found your channel. I primarily quilt, do hand embroidery, knit, read, diamond dot and crochet. I love working with my hands. I am a 50 year old stay at home Nana (grandmother) who is also epileptic. Sadly our son inherited it from me as well, but God gives us the strength to deal with it. Your channel is an inspiration and I just want to thank you for all the work you put into your crochet and social media. It is appreciated. P.S. when you speed up your crochet videos, my hubby was entranced. Even at normal speed it is fascinating to watch. Love and hugs from South Africa.

I’m at the playground listening to you right now like a podcast. You should totally do a podcast very relaxing voice. Yes please 🙏 motivate me💲 ❤❤

[@SongbirdSarah]

For the record, anytime I see the spider top I know that’s passioknit goods. It’s very original and we love it!

[@samanthanperrin]

I like the boppy idea. I got a lap desk thing to help when I’m not at a desk

[@Nerdyknitterdesigns]

I have epilepsy as well. I tried to work regular jobs but I was passing out, falling or just in general causing problems with work cuz I was trying to push through it. It wasn't until I met my husband that I even got into knitting/crochet/spinning. Flash forward 3 years later I had been knitting for a few years and then saw crochet plushies. I tried an amigurumi design for a Pichu and realized how plushies were built. So I ended up making freehanded projects just for fun. I need to keep my hands busy or I fidget. My husband suggested I open an Etsy shop and made a sale within 24 hours. It was a Hobbes to a family having a baby boy named Calvin. It was one of my first designs and literally was like a thunderbolt hit me and told me to get into crochet. Long winded but just wanted to pass along that someone else with seizures is making it work too :) (the headaches are the worst of it. Especially the Aura before hand. Sometimes I wish the seizure would just hit so the headache would lighten) ~ I love your videos and hope to gain more confidence to vlog =^.^=

[@PariahRiah]

I personally really love the lighter shades of blue and purple added into the rainbow bucket hat! It looks really nice! The lighter blue and purple look really good together as well so it probably is good to have both for whoever wants those :) good job! I also would really love to see you do more of these videos and continue the series of how many blank can I make in one day! I love watching those videos and yours was really entertaining :)

[@PariahRiah]

I think the video changed when I was typing so it posted on a different video lol but I’m here from the how many bucket hats can I make in a day video 😂

[@emlynnasmr6176]

Listen all I’m saying is that I NEVER watch QnA’s…but I’m vibing to this one and that’s how much ily and you’re content hehe 😌💖

[@daniellerenee9009]

The Boppy idea is genius but I already got rid of mine since my LO no longer used it.

[@KnottyAccountant]

If you like cross stitch, you should try diamond painting. It’s like cross stitching but with shiny beads. It’s awesome!!!! I’m hooked (haha). And you can hang them up afterwards.

[@PosieJulia]

I completely agree

[@litgirlablaze3432]

OMG when you were a kid did you make those bead lizards!? Remember lanyards? Lol or those lil things w the bands you’d make the potholders for lil kids? Lol my grandma was crafty and I loved goin to Michael’s with her to get some cool lil projects to do. That cat cross-stitch DMC kit thing is cool AF! It’s adorable! 🥺

[@fikanera838]

I really love your crocheted tops, & have made a few for me & my nieces, but that kitty cat cross stitch is the cutest!

[@normasacares7282]

Oh wow im soooo empressed of what you been doing,and I love all the item i saw on your blog, so keep up, and God blessed you

[@daniellerenee9009]

I feel honored to be the last question of the video. I have been wanting to buy a fancy/ cute crochet hook but since I could only get one right now, I needed help picking what size. Lol

[@Adingalingling]

In one of your previous videos from last week you mentioned your hands/arms were sore. Generally knitting puts less stress on the wrists so If you don’t want to take a break you could try knitting more whenever that’s an issue. Massaging the parts that hurt under warm water helps a bit too. Also stretching your arms before and after you do stuff can help. But to avoid any permanent damage I think taking a few day break could help a lot. Take care!

[@DianEnglish56]

Watching older videos as I just recently came across your channel. Enjoyed learning more about you. 🧶🫂

[@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq]

Happy crocheting ❤❤❤❤😊

Great job on the cross stitching and of course everything else you do. My daughter is in the colorguard also. Hope you have a wonderful day.❤❤❤

[@AnnaRose259]

I’m sorry but that’s life changing! I’m a mumma of a 15 month old and she stopped breastfeeding a few weeks ago, I haven’t used my feeding pillow since like newborn days but I never even thought to use it for crochet!!!

[@SysCraftyCreations_]

I love your channel and you were such a huge inspiration for me to start my channel! my first video went up Friday and I made some of your pieces!

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

Good luck!!

[@JennyFaw.]

Oh you're wrong girl!! When you said you wish you had a recognized style! I've come across several of your lovely items and knew it was you before I saw your name!! Lol I love love love your work!!:🎉🎉

[@crochetmezaddy]

Honoured to be the first question, loved the cat cross stitch, and the goodbye was so Jaida coded hahahaha

[@Bellllllz]

I just wanted to say I love watching your videos, I think you're really rad, not just for your work but as a person too. I'm not able to crochet right now (I live in a tiny house and I'm still figuring out storage) but I hope to one day be as skilled as you. I wish you a wonderful day!

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

I appreciate that!

[@PosieJulia]

Cross stitching is so much fun. I enjoy diamond painting as well. I tried crocheting a pixel art grid thingy today and it was sooo hard, I literally only did four rows in two hours, all the color changes were killing me

[@AmbiixROX]

RE: If you are suffering with migraines, read this pls - - - I’m giving unsolicited advice related to the migraines, so take this with a grain of salt if you’ve already looked into the possibility: I used to get migraines, frequently and they were absolutely DEBILITATING. I also was on a combined hormonal birth control at the time. At some point my birth control had to be switched from the name brand to the generic version (supposedly all the same active ingredients), and my migraines got worse and more severe. I mentioned it to my OB/GYN and they took me off combined hormonal birth control completely. I rarely get a migraine now and when I do they are so much more manageable. The estrogen in combined hormonal birth control can trigger migraines and it is possibly a sign that you are at higher risk for blood clots. If you are on BC and get migraines PLEASE TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT IT Something to think about

[@lariae]

This makes so much sense! I had a friend who had horrible migraines and she also was on the pill since she was 12.

I wonder what keeps Mei Leebron motivated after she has to overcome looking in the mirror every morning while suppressing thoughts of what people spread about her looks behind her back. Imagine living life publicly acknowledged that one is the uglier sibling. Hopefully, she has the right therapist in her life because counseling solves everyone’s problems always, including chronic distress around appearance.

Hi I love your work do you have freinds😊

[@luminitzavidaurri4787]

[@litgirlablaze3432]

I think overtime you will get your own “style”. Think on the bright side. . .You haven’t pigeonholed yourself into something where you have to keep making one thing over and over and get burnt out. Hey I have a prob with negative self talk. There’s a book called you’re a badass that really changed my life I feel like but still it takes time to identify the negative self talk and to change it. Try to remember that you wouldn’t speak to your best friend or anyone you cared about the way you speak to yourself in your head. Try to give yourself the patience, grace and love that you’d extend to a friend or family member when they mess up or something. Ya know !? Remember tho, you are a bad ass! 🤘🏽✌🏽💜🩶💚
