Wow!! Thank you! So many great ideas! Some weeks ago, I reached out to one of my favorite pattern design and asked if she was interested in having her patterns translated into Portuguese (I am a professional translator), and she accepted. So, I exchanged my services for her patterns! I was happy and she was happy!
When I worked at a law firm, we used to have a craft class on our lunch hour. One of the girls had an Etsy shop and suggested I should open one. I did and it was a little hectic when I worked, but when I retired it got very busy except for the summer months. I barter what I make with professional photographers to get professional photos. That really makes a difference.
Textiles are the biggest cottage industry in the world. In the past, guilds worked well for producing saleable textiles, teaching many techniques, and for innovation. Guilds are great for arranging sales in the local community. It's also nice to have friends to knit and crochet with. Knitting, crochet, and weaving have been an economic powerhouse historically. In other countries, it's still very important.
BellaCoco helped me learn to crochet. I literally learned from one book and two of her videos! And I love amigurumi. It’s crazy how many people ask me to make amigurumi for them! I am about to send out my first out-of-state order and I’m so excited!
I am have watched some of your videos and l am learning a lot from you. I have always wanted to start making money doing what I love but was afraid to. My family has always told me to sell my stuff, but I would just make things and give it away. Now I am on a fixed income and can't afford to do this now. But watching your videos l am learning a lot from you and I am going to look at all your go to videos. Thank you.
wow wee, you're amazing! thanks for sharing so much wealth of information. currently I host a small knitting and crocheting circle at Bailey'scafe in Brooklyn. During this past summer I had the opportunity to work and get paid for a weekly Wednesday fiberarts workshop. I'm considering the different options for expanding what I do and I truly appreciate the information you've shared.
You're so welcome! There are so many ways you can make money from crocheting and knitting! That's wonderful that you've already started! Once you realize that you can be paid to do what you love a whole new world will open up! Good luck!!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you so much for this wonderful resource! I am an elementary art teacher who is looking into making stitching into a business now that I realize my pension has been “clawed back” into practically nothing. I cannot do the physical labor of the full class load. However, I love to create & teach a love of creativity. I do not know if this is the answer, but it is a bit of hope.
This is all really helpful information, Elise. Thank you for being such an inspirational facilitator!! I greatly appreciate that aspect of your personality! This has given me a lot to think about.
Elise, thank you for such useful information!! This is SO timely for me as I put things together to set up a shop. Since I will be only one of countless choices, I have been on a learning expedition about how to build clientele. I know #1 is HAVE A DESIRABLE PRODUCT, then #2, 3, 4 ... is PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE. So, since I'd rather not reinvent the wheel when others are navigating the path, I am extremely appreciative of those who share what they've learned.
This video is so well done! It is a fountain of beautiful inspiring information. I have learned thru my career it is best to simply consider everyone a potential partner. So many starting out miss this important key to business success. To your continued success…
Wow! You are always a wealth of information. I love the way your mind works. Thank you for all the info. I appreciate the hard work that went into this video. You did all the hard work for us and laid everything out very simple and concise. You are amazing 🤩
What a timely video! I’m currently working on starting my business and taking classes in business at my local community college. When the video was finished I saved it for references for a later time and bookmark. Thank you so much for all the diverse ideas!
Taking classes at local college? What a wonderful idea. I should do that. A few Accounting classes would be another thing for me to put in my to-do list. Thank you for the suggestion.
Thank you for sharing with others, I have not yet tried to sell my things, but am in the process of researching and finding out what I need to know, so your videos are very helpful. If not for fellow crafters being so generous with their knowledge, I don’t think I would even consider it.
Wow, thank you so much for all the wonderful ideas! I also have a crochet RUclips channel + blog and this video was so helpful. Opened up my eyes to other possibilities! Definitely needed this encouragement. Thank you Elise!
Knitting has been my side hustle for years. I knit as a hobby all year long to sell my product at markets for what I consider my peak selling months, October to December for holiday gift giving. My issue was having the TIME since I worked full time too. It's important to find your niche in the market place. There is money to be made.
Another helpful episode , thank you lovely lady. I’ve just opened an Etsy shop, Stitching in Daydreams, with just a few items to start with, so this was so interesting. Take care and keep sharing your joy 🧶🌻🧵💕
I had a business years ago with a dear friend, and we made crochet Victorian gowns, petticoats, and knickers for Barbie dolls. I remember when I sold my very first for $100k, I was so excited, but unfortunately she moved away and passed away recently. I'm now 71, and I still think about selling toys, especially these Amigurumi. I just started, but I'm enjoying them, and Elise I followed you making the catster. I just finished my first, but of course I am just practicing, but it gives me ideas.
Thanks so much for this video 🙏🤗 i came back to my crochet business after nearly 5 years and this time full time! 🥰 I’m designing and selling crochet rugs, blankets and scarves. As well as patterns and printable posters of course. And just started this new RUclips channel of mine. Still working on distinguishing my style of making, filming, talking, etc. And you lr videos help a lot. Thanks again! ❤️😍🙏
Thank you Elise for the GREAT info! I have been wondering about this very subject for a few years now and my kids have told me too, “Ma you need to start selling your stuff, you could really make money.” Love your channel and thanks once again. 😊
I crochet some tops and baby clothes, hat ,shoes for baby shower still a beginner and still struggling some times but when I saw your tutorial for amigurumi I said to myself I wanna try it . Wanna give a as gift to my co worker that her daughter in law will gonna have the first baby. Now im almost done with the doll I wanna keep it and make one for her. Lol🤣
I'm in the process of purchasing a property that has a lot of fruit and vegetables on it. The realtor suggested that I could take the extras to the farmer's market. My daughter also wants a beehive which would be great for the garden. I'm thinking it would be neat to have a few crochet items for sale on the table as well. I'm not really looking to make a lot of money, honestly it would probably be more so that the food growing on the property doesn't go to waste, but it would be nice to get some back from our efforts in the garden.
@@EliseRoseCrochet I'm thinking of maybe making little crochet fruits, vegetables, foods, and garden bugs would go well alongside real fruits and vegetables. I'm very new at crochet. I tried earlier this year and got really confused because I was watching right hand videos while trying to crochet left-handed. I gave up on trying to do it left-handed for now and decided to just figure it out right-handed. Maybe I can switch it up once I get more comfortable, but I don't think I'm doing too bad. I made a couple of the cats from the Dumpling Cats book, and I'm almost finished with an Ogre. I think I like the lace weight yarn a little better than worsted though, but it might be my hook that is the real issue. The 4.5mm I decided to use is one of those plastic light up ones, but it is squeaky and harder to pull through. On top of that, I don't even like the built in light because I feel like it blinds me more than helps me see. I realized the squeaky when watching your video review on hooks and now I'm too far along with this ogre to start over/ swap hooks.
Thank you for sharing! I love to crochet, knit and sew. I would love to have a small business doing this. Maybe one day teach young girls how to do this.
It really is a dream come true for me. Spending my days doing what I love is amazing. I hope you are able to make your passion your business as well!! 🧶❤️🧵
I’m just considering the idea of selling some crochet items. Crochet items Ive made include dishcloths, towel holders, scrubbies, potholders& hot pads, baby blankets, shawls, scarves, hats, scented pumpkins, teddy bears, etc. I’m considering taking items to a craft show to see if anything sells???
Thank you for all of your suggestions and help -- and agreed. Mindset which is not as easy as it seems. One day I feel I'm there and other days I'm wondering just what on earth am I doing... But I keep doing it! 🤣
Me too!!! I also really struggle with direction! I want to do all the things, which really isn't possible! 😂 But I really loved Sarah-Jayne's advice! 🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet I agree. Things like hats for adults, slipper-socks, and then anything Amigurumi seems to be my area. Blankets, shawls, scarves, and anything else along those lines seems like it will never be -- and it just may turn out that way. Wishing the best for everyone and their decisions and wherever their journey takes them!
Thank you for your information. I am trying to set up a small business to bring in extra cash when I retire. (I am using my husband as my test subject for my patterns. No complaints, but lots of suggestions for improvements.)
I just want to quit my job too, kindly send me a book of patterns for crotcheting so that I begin this work I love it, I finished my granny square jacket it is so nice, wanna continue.
Thanks for this information. For a while I wrote craft articles which was enjoyable and gave me an income. The online company that I wrote for was sold and many of us lost this income. So, two things here, you may be able to share your knowledge by writing articles and you must pay strict attention to what is going on. That nice income can disappear, so be ready for a new path. Do not trust your income on one thing.
Best advice for people who have dreams and hopes to earn on what they love is to quit dreaming and get real job. 99% of people won't succeed and longer they will keep trying, worse trouble they're going to drag themselves in. Talent and skill means next to nothing if you're not lucky.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I know several people who are making a full time income from crocheting, but it took time to get to that point. 🧶🧶🧶
@LePetitSaintCrochet Well, I know several people who are making full time income from their handmade art (nobody who relies solely on crocheting but crocheting mixed with knitting or weaving/macrame) and it's not their patience and persistence what got them there (they had it of course, next to impossible to get anywhere without that) but one or several lucky breaks. Many, many others were as patient, dedicated, persisted, skilled and talented - got them nowhere, cause no lucky breaks, just harsh reality hit them way too many times.
My mom is an amazing knitter, She makes woollen sweaters by her hands we want to do something for her but we can't launch a fashion brand, so can you guys recommend me some ideas? She always wanted to do something and become an independent woman but my grandparents financial conditions didn't helped her dreams. Help me in making her dreams come true😊 who knows? maybe your idea can change someone's life😊
This was great Elise! We are moving on to a new adventure... this Fall we will be Homesteaders! I definitely want to incorporate knitting and crochet as part of a family income... dreaming and planning now. Thanks for all the tips!
That's so wonderful, Nicole!!! You should really think about starting a RUclips channel! I'm at the part in your book when you all are getting ready to move to PA! I look forward to reading every night! 📖📖📖
@@EliseRoseCrochet it's a terrifying thought buy also a very exciting thought.... I know one of the things I DEFINITELY want to do is have a few wool sheep and learn to shear and dye and card and spin... so many possibilities. I can't wait to just slow down and start writing down ideas..My brain is about to burst. I'm going like the energizer bunny getting this house ready..I'm going to email you the link of our new house!
My advice would be to start with one thing. Choose something that you can start with and learn everything you can about it. When you feel comfortable with that one, add something else! 💖
Thanks for sharing all these recommendations. What you are doing is quite lovely and inspiring. I do beautiful crochet but I have no help and no one can succeed alone. Technology for me is daunting. I've wasted a lot of money making an effort to move forward and then giving up. I can participate in almost all the other aspects of a business except those that are technological. I often wish I had a person or more to team up with so they could do those tasks but I haven't been successful. It makes me sad to think of it because I could have been doing better.
I totally get it. I'm not a "tech" person, but I've had to learn how to do it. It's a skill just like learning how to crochet. Working through learning new technological skills will be so worth it in the long run! Good luck! ❤️
Great video, would love to hear about how you price your items for sale. Very good info in this video, have been thinking about maybe selling some of my work.. Thank you for this video.
Hey so, just a quick question...ARE YOU A HUFFLEPUFF?! LOL I saw your little mascot in the background and your 9 3/4 looking sign below in the corner.... :) was just curious 🤔
@@EliseRoseCrochet Good morning Eliserosecrochet if you would like I can send you photos to you if you would like and you can see how beautiful there are
Hello! I love your videos❣️ very helpful and inspiring! If you ever need a translation (Spanish English) just let me know, I’ll gladly do it for you. 🙃
Thank you for this video, it's really very helpful. I have a question: almost every manual already exists. I would be afraid that I would have problems if I publish a manual that already exists. Or very similar to my inspiration. For example, a mandala, a bag or an amigurumi. Can I get a problem there? Do I mention the inspiration or can that cause even more problems?
That was a fear I had in the beginning that my patterns would look like someone else's. As long as you made the pattern from your own ideas, it's fine. For example there are only so many ways to crochet a bunny, there are going to be similarities! Good luck!! 🧶🧶🧶
Hi Elise! I was doing a little fiber shopping and ordered the neck light you recommend for your link. I was wondering what kind of fiber fill for you recommend for your Amigurumi’s. If I overlooked I apologize thanks -Susan Montgomery

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you sooooo much for all this information!!
You're so welcome! 🧶🧶🧶
Best advice for people who have dreams and hopes to earn on what they love is to quit dreaming and get real job. 99% of people won't succeed and longer they will keep trying, worse trouble they're going to drag themselves in. Talent and skill means next to nothing if you're not lucky.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I know several people who are making a full time income from crocheting, but it took time to get to that point. 🧶🧶🧶
@LePetitSaintCrochet Well, I know several people who are making full time income from their handmade art (nobody who relies solely on crocheting but crocheting mixed with knitting or weaving/macrame) and it's not their patience and persistence what got them there (they had it of course, next to impossible to get anywhere without that) but one or several lucky breaks.
Many, many others were as patient, dedicated, persisted, skilled and talented - got them nowhere, cause no lucky breaks, just harsh reality hit them way too many times.
Great video Elise, very useful....I am just trying to discover my own niche.....x
Thank you so very much!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really want to have my own business surrounding my knitting and crochet.
That's wonderful! 🧶🧶🧶
I have the Harry Potter book from the library. I love the Phoenix one
The Phoenix is incredible!!! ❤
My mom is an amazing knitter, She makes woollen sweaters by her hands we want to do something for her but we can't launch a fashion brand, so can you guys recommend me some ideas? She always wanted to do something and become an independent woman but my grandparents financial conditions didn't helped her dreams. Help me in making her dreams come true😊 who knows? maybe your idea can change someone's life😊
Oops! My comment was about becoming a Certified Crochet Instructor. I had stumbled on this and thought I'd never use it at the time.
No problem!! ❤️
Great tips! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
You are so welcome! ❤
Thank you, I needed this video 🌈
You're so very welcome! 🧶🧶🧶
This was great Elise! We are moving on to a new adventure... this Fall we will be Homesteaders! I definitely want to incorporate knitting and crochet as part of a family income... dreaming and planning now. Thanks for all the tips!
That's so wonderful, Nicole!!! You should really think about starting a RUclips channel! I'm at the part in your book when you all are getting ready to move to PA! I look forward to reading every night! 📖📖📖
@@EliseRoseCrochet it's a terrifying thought buy also a very exciting thought.... I know one of the things I DEFINITELY want to do is have a few wool sheep and learn to shear and dye and card and spin... so many possibilities. I can't wait to just slow down and start writing down ideas..My brain is about to burst. I'm going like the energizer bunny getting this house ready..I'm going to email you the link of our new house!
@@nicoleallen4744 That sounds soooooo amazing!!!! So excited for you all!!!
An inspiring video. I’d love to earn money as a crafter but don’t really know where to begin.
My advice would be to start with one thing. Choose something that you can start with and learn everything you can about it. When you feel comfortable with that one, add something else! 💖
Thank you! Very useful information😃
You're so welcome! 🧶🧶🧶
Very nice

You're so welcome!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome! ❤️
Thanks for sharing all these recommendations. What you are doing is quite lovely and inspiring. I do beautiful crochet but I have no help and no one can succeed alone. Technology for me is daunting. I've wasted a lot of money making an effort to move forward and then giving up. I can participate in almost all the other aspects of a business except those that are technological. I often wish I had a person or more to team up with so they could do those tasks but I haven't been successful. It makes me sad to think of it because I could have been doing better.
I totally get it. I'm not a "tech" person, but I've had to learn how to do it. It's a skill just like learning how to crochet. Working through learning new technological skills will be so worth it in the long run! Good luck! ❤️
Thank you 💗 that helped me a lot 😊
You're so welcome! 💖

Hey so, just a quick question...ARE YOU A HUFFLEPUFF?! LOL I saw your little mascot in the background and your 9 3/4 looking sign below in the corner.... :) was just curious 🤔
Lol! I love Harry Potter, but I'm not sure what house I like more. ❤
I sell amd make unique crochet hats from preemies to adults and style of animals Characters and regular hats

@@EliseRoseCrochet Good morning Eliserosecrochet if you would like I can send you photos to you if you would like and you can see how beautiful there are
So proud of you 😘❤
Thank you so very much, Dawn!! 💖
Hello! I love your videos❣️ very helpful and inspiring! If you ever need a translation (Spanish English) just let me know, I’ll gladly do it for you. 🙃
Thank you so very much for the offer!! 💖💖💖
Thank you for this video, it's really very helpful.
I have a question: almost every manual already exists. I would be afraid that I would have problems if I publish a manual that already exists. Or very similar to my inspiration. For example, a mandala, a bag or an amigurumi.
Can I get a problem there?
Do I mention the inspiration or can that cause even more problems?
That was a fear I had in the beginning that my patterns would look like someone else's. As long as you made the pattern from your own ideas, it's fine. For example there are only so many ways to crochet a bunny, there are going to be similarities! Good luck!! 🧶🧶🧶
Mindblown. That Harry Potter crochet book looks amazing 😍😍
It's soooo good!! 🧙🏻♀️🧙🏻♀️🧙🏻♀️
Wow! Awesome, helpful show Elise! 😀💃🏻💚🕊
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🧶🧶🧶
I m doing all arts but crosia toyed too
That's great! 💙
Hi Elise! I was doing a little fiber shopping and ordered the neck light you recommend for your link. I was wondering what kind of fiber fill for you recommend for your Amigurumi’s. If I overlooked I apologize thanks -Susan Montgomery
I mostly use Poly-fil stuffing! I hope you like your neck light. ❤
@@EliseRoseCrochet Thank you! I can’t wait to get it in tomorrow to use it🙂Love your channel, I have learned so much from you already. TFS!!!♥️
