Love the frog and toad! All of your makes are so nice. I am not able to do a market but enjoy seeing and hearing about them. I crochet but it’s mostly for friends and family.
I was the face painting booth in front of you. I’ve only ever done the pepper festival and it’s been this disorienting every time. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I had a couple vendors talk to me about their other experiences at previous festivals they have worked at. It was such a pleasure meeting you and i’m so sorry you had a bad experience. Have made me consider going to other local festivals we have in our area though which i’m excited about!
Awww hi! Thanks for finding my video 🫶 this one is definitely not one I will go back to. You should consider the Peanut Festival! That one has been great for me 2 years in a row.
It sounds like the event planner was very unprofessional. The first thing after paying for your spot they should have given you a map with your spot highlighted. Hopefully the event planner learned something from the event. All your projects are cute and beautifully made.
I loved watching your video. I understand the frustration with lack of information, - puh... I am going to do my first market EVER this Saturday. It is kind of a Christmas market, and I have loads of clothes I have crocheted, and some knits, - and right now I am working on my second Santa-plushies, just to have something "Christmassy" at my booth. I have a few snowmen as well, and then a "family" of cats, so that there are not just clothes. I should film for my part 3 of the preparations for the market, but I´m feel too busy with the Santa, - "stupid thinking", - of course I should film... Well, now that I have watched and listened to your vlog, I should go ahead and record pieces of my own 😀 By the way, - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ducks and swans, and the monkey, - beautiful 🥰❤
Thanks so much for watching!! I have a lot of admiration for crocheters and knitters who sell clothes. I've never really been able to master patience and effort that goes in getting them right every time 😅
@piecesofscrap when you show your "material cost" - is that yarn/poly fill etc., or booth decorations, supplies? I've done many-a-frustrating markets - I feel your pain! Glad you came out on top, however.
24:48 oMg 😱 i want to test that!! I see long leg sock monkey i see yeti i see snow monster i see valentines love big foot i see all kinds of variations i like the length and the limbs on it because they are a bit longer, it can hang or hug and just chill and lounge
24:33 love to see your vids! Cassie, I’m a tech editor; I can help with your tester call (I’m on medical leave & this is VOLUNTEER not a pitch for a job or anything); I’d be glad to help though. Lmk if I can do anything, ok? We girlies gotta stick together in our fiber art sisterhood! Back to watching this unfold…. 😉🧡 47:07 OH. MY. GOSH. What a MESS. I’m so so sorry for the mess!
It's very possible that they could've been new. I don't usually go to this town for events so I'm unfamiliar with how things are normally handled, but a few other vendors have reached out and said it's always been similarly hectic. Thanks for watching! 🫶✨
Those eyes on the snugglers are so cute do you have a tutorial ? thats how my markets always do it, the earlier you get there the better the booth. But they dont set anything a head of time or send emails.
WOW! Thank you for the ENTIRE pattern listing with links, it's awesome!
No problem!! Haha, I normally list just the patterns I mention, but I didn't have room for all the links.
Thank you for mentioning Premier Yarns in this video!!!
No problem!! Love y'all's yarn 🫶💕

Thanks! It's a really cute pattern and it's a bonus that it's no sew too!

Thanks for watching!
The least they could have put in that bag were some tokens so you could get a free snack or sandwich or something
Yeah that would've been really nice... For all I know, all of the coupons and freebies weren't even from vendors selling at this event
Wow, this event seems like it was headache-inducing. 😅 Especially for the amount you paid to be there.
It definitely was... I've never been this frustrated at an event before!
I thought your monkey was a yeti! 😄 That’s what I want to make it as. I’ll test for you. 😁
Awww thanks! Yeah it would be a cute yeti. I think the colors are probably what made you think of a yeti ☺️🫶

I've done many-a-frustrating markets - I feel your pain! Glad you came out on top, however.
My material cost is the cost of my yarn, stuffing, safety eyes, etc. and it's all calculated by how much of it I use. Hope that helps!
I'm crocheting a red blanket and I have a question for you how long have you been crocheting for?I have been crocheting for 1 year onost 2 years
I have been crocheting since middle school, and I'm 27 now 🙈
24:48 oMg 😱 i want to test that!! I see long leg sock monkey i see yeti i see snow monster i see valentines love big foot i see all kinds of variations i like the length and the limbs on it because they are a bit longer, it can hang or hug and just chill and lounge
Thank youuu! I love all the ideas!

I don't have a tutorial on doing the eyes but I will definitely consider creating a short tutorial!!
@pieces_of_scrap yeah if you ever have time they look amazing 💙💙
