HNY! Now listen to your Auntie A, because I'm older and wiser. As a business owner, you don't have a "stash" you have an inventory, supplies, or materials. Also, you may never have a stocked website. Baby, your products are gorgeous, and your customers are refreshing several times a day and buying multiple items before others do. Not a bad problem to have. My opinion, you are being too hard on yourself but it's good to have goals and to make time to evaluate them. CONGRATS on a successful 2024! Can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for you!!!
I agree. You increased your inventory because of all the scrunchies and market bags you made, and sold. You technically increased your business, so your stock increased. Stop beating yourself up just because your business is doing well. Love all that you do.
Video idea: everything I sold in 2024. If not for a video, just to see for yourself the amazing numbers of how many tops, bags, scrunchies, beanies, and bandanas you made and sold. Then every time you feel bad about not having stock up on your website you can look at all the hard work you’ve done.
What I took away from this video is that things can change a lot in a year. I didn't see it as you failing to meet your goals for 2024 but, rather, that your situation has changed. Your business grew; your subscriber count on RUclips grew; your views, orders probably all increased substantially. The reason your shop is sold out of everything is because your shop is just that popular right now. Same thing with your yarn stash; I personally think your yarn stash grew because your business grew. Or having the time to write more patterns - you physically didn't have the time to write more patterns, because you had an unending stream of custom orders to make. I don't think there's anything you need to do better. You're doing amazing. Your 2024 goals just couldn't catch up to you, is all. 👍👍
You could start by making one project every week with yarn from your stash, on top of whatever you’re planning for the week. That’s what I’m doing and trying to do this past year and it’s gone well! I’ve used up some of my stash. I’m hardcore focusing on it this year and I’m also on a yarn buying ban unless it’s for a specific pattern I’ve picked out to do this year or an order that someone places.
Happy new year kelsie. i am a long time supporter but never comment. Seeing you beat yourself down at the beginning of this video was heartbreaking. You work so so hard releasing vlogs multiple times a week, coming up with new ideas, keeping yourself motivated and staying ontop of orders. Your products are such high quality, both your physical crocheted items AND your videos. You bring light to so many peoples lives as seen in these comments. In the new year yes it would be amazing to work through some yarn, make new patterns etc but the reality of a crafter and business owner is that you are constantly time short. Youre doing amazing and we are all so excited to spend another year with you
My take on your “yarn stash”. The majority of this yarn is supplies necessary for your business. I would imagine if you had put the year purchased on all your lily cotton yarn you would find you had very little little lily yarn purchased in 2023 still in your office. Most of the lily and juicy yarn you have is so that you can fill all the custom orders you receive in a timely manner. This is all necessary to run your business. I feel like the only way to have less yarn is to use or get rid of the acrylic yarn in the cubes behind you and fill them with the juicy and lily yarn you use all the time. But you have stated that you have your office set up like it is so that it looks nice on camera. It’s a give a take. I think you’re doing great. Cheers to you for a wonderful 2024! I can’t wait to see all you accomplish in 2025.
A new idea for yarn stash, you could keep a basket in your room where you put a few skeins or examples of colorways you want to use more of that month, and then over the month try to use all of them. You could even film yourself doing this to keep you accountable! Just an idea! Happy to have you back after seeing you every day for vlogmas!
The look on your face when you started talking about the yarn stash goal 🤣 but tbh, looking at it , it just needs a new system is all. I know you don’t want more shelves, but you could switch the yarn to some clear large bins with lids and stack them with certain kinds of yarn. It’s way more organized and pretty looking, and easier to tell what’s in it! They’re needed supplies for your business, honestly, I think it’s a stash to be proud of !
You are not giving yourself credit, you didn't write patterns, but you did crochet different things, hooded sweater leg warmers, granny vest, content was top notch, I've watched a couple of other youtubers, and they were watching you as well. I think you're an inspiration to many and that means something in itself. Hopefully I will be able to catch a drop with this new method either way, I love the content I love the products you're putting out there and I also love how you bring attention to your friends RUclips channels. I never would have found Zach Jayda Brooke or mags without you!
Learned crochet from my grandmother as a kid but it st just last year when I tried making something out of it and it is your Lily top. Posted it not knowing it'll start my crocheting journey. Now I'm getting a lot of commissions making my customers any project they want. Thank you so much for inspiring me to make something out of this hobby of mine. ❤️❤️❤️
One of my goals this year is to learn how to knit. I have been crocheting for 20+ years now. Your beanie tutorial is amazing and I am working on my first hat!! I am actually knitting!! Thank you for being such a great teacher!! ❤
Congratulations on all you have achieved in 2024. I think it is a lot and I am so glad you post 3 times a week. I really look forward to sharing that time with you, love your energy and positive vibes you give out. I think the goal you have set of clearing the floor will happen with the new plan of making things and then putting them up for sale, because you can just work through the yarn from the floor until it is cleared. If you can bear to part with any yarn you dont intend to use that would make room so that new yarn doesn't have to go on the floor. When I declutter it inspires me to create more. What ever you do I shall be watching and cheering you along have a great 2025.❤
You met your goals!!! Keep in mind you're the seller, buyer, maker, advertiser and marketing.... You're a beast girl....kudos to you and making it sustainable that your hands can work so hard!
on the upside, you had a great year filled with success for your shop and channel !! you completed a lot of other goals that you maybe didnt even know you had at the beginning of the year :)
I think you tried your hardest to meet all your 2024 goals. You definitely made a lot of items, which used up a lot of your yarn stash. And you tried to keep stock built up, but things just sell so quickly on your website (which is awesome!) Also, the “write more patterns” goal was technically met too, because you now have 2 more patterns on your website than you did at the end of 2023. Great job on reaching your goals in 2024, you are awesome! Keep striving for bigger and better things, and continue to hold yourself accountable. As long as you are better today than you were yesterday, that’s a win!
Yayyyyyy Happy New Year to you as well. Hope you enjoyed your time off and your anniversary with the hubs. ❤🎉 Awwwwww, sorry to hear you were ill. Boooooo. Glad you are feeling better and happy to see you. 😊
Happy New Year Kelsie!! 🎉 I think you did great on your goals. I feel you accomplished your pattern goal, because those are 2 patterns that you didn’t have before. 🌟 Looking forward to your content this year. Keep up the awesome work! 🥰
Welcome back Kelsey missed you and the boys (negi Terry and ceaser) I only started crochet last October when I found you and been subbed since if it wasn't for you I still being getting pissed off with magic rings as I couldn't do them before watching your videos 😂 you done so well last year can't wait to see you rocket on this year ❤️and missy meany dropping hints something amazing is on the horizon and leaving us hanging 😂😂 good luck for 2025 hope all your dreams come true x
You are doing an awesome job and I will continue to watch your videos no matter what you do. Luv watching and listening to you. Thank you I have been crocheting for years and sometimes a little bored but you have made it fun again. ❤❤❤
Goals aside - I’d say I’m pretty proud of you. You’ve built your business up on your own. Your shop is always in demand because people want items made by YOU. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great job and thank you for being such an inspiration to myself and many others here. Happy New Year!
Happy new year! I’m only at the beginning of the video, but I saw an idea that said to put your goals on a bingo board and put it where you can see it! I thought it was super clever, maybe you could try that? You can print out a blank bingo board from the internet and fill it in 😁
I subbed to you this year, and I hadn’t realized just how new to RUclips you were. You were SO consistent and SO professional, it felt like you had been doing this full time forever! Happy new year and good luck completing all of your goals! I’m so excited to see what you do this year 🫶🫶
Hi!! I’ve really missed your videos! But I’m glad you had a much deserved break. Can’t wait to see what the new year holds for you. I think it would be great to do part 2 of the one color at a time series and only use shelf yarn. 😊 it would be a good way to use up some yarn that you’ve had for awhile and also fun to fill them in with new yarn. I missed Neji in the video❤ Can’t wait to see more. Thank you so much for all you do ❤
Missed you kiddo, Happy New Year, you were a supernova in 2024, just the filming alone is a full time job, you have done fantastic, we are all proud of you and what you’ve accomplished ❤
Suggestion: maybe buy some large clear totes and organize your boxes of yarn in those so they are stackable and will actually clear up a bit of floor space as you are using up the yarn. As you empty a tote they can be stacked together or have finished products in them. Also I feel that if your yarn stock is being smartly shopped for when there are sales then that is a good business move. Have you thought about branching out into plushies?😉. Maybe making a pattern as well as putting a kit together to make that project for beginners. Just an idea. Love the idea of the monthly drop sale. At least try it for six months and if you need to adjust the date to right after the 1 st of the month when some people get paid you can make that adjustment then. You are doing great and I never miss a video ❤
Good goals, just remember through that packaging and mailing had a certain following. It added a bit of predictableness and completion to a task, closed the chapter, onto another one. Now the routine would be craft for 28 days, drop on 29, ship on 30, for contrast purposes. Maybe drop mid month and end of month? Fingers crossed you get your new home, inclusive of a nice big crafting room with no need for boxes on the floor. ❤
I think your once a month drops will help with your yarn stash since you won’t have to constantly run out of one specific type of yarn and go get more you can just use what you have then post what you made with it!
I think you did a great job with your goals. I also think you should give yourself some grace about all the yarn you have because you have a business that requires you to have yarn. All that yarn will be used no doubt and more than likely you did use up all the cotton yarn that was on your floor in January 2024. So I’m here to say you did accomplish that goal. As for myself, my goal is to make a blanket for both of my adult children and all 6 of my grandchildren, so 8 blankets total. Plus my oldest grandson wants me to make him a star shaped bunting for his future child…he’s getting engaged this year and they are hoping to have a child in 2026/27. So that is my goal this year.
Was so excited to see this video at lunch! Missed seeing you everyday! You spoiled us! Good luck with your goals! Will wait patiently to hear your big goal!
Happy new year. 🎉Anyone else laughing at past Kelsie roasting herself. We all have the problem but its funny hearing the difference one year can make :) happy to have you back
Happy to have you back, and happier to hear your break wss restful for you! You worked so hard throughout 2024 and especially Vlogmas, so this viewer is happy you got a break after all that grinding. Re: your stash - I saw another comment say you, as a small business, have materials and inventory, and its good to have those things to make sure your business stays going just in case, the JIC stash. That being said, if you have a lot of yarn you don't have specific plans for, why not continue the Vlogmas wheel and do a Stashbusting kind of series in the vlog backgrounds? Maybe 1-2 stashbusting projects a month, or when Saturday lives resume that could be a more "dedicated" use for that time? Giving yourself the permission to use the stuff and letting us give you ideas like we did for Vlogmas combined into using the wheel - win win!
I think having the monthly "how much yarn did we use" videos might help motivate you to use more of the yarn. ALSO loved the color videos you did before, maybe we could have some more? Could help build stock and def give you a challenge too. TY for the M/W/F videos we look forward to them so much
Happy new year! Making more of those coasters would be great for cotton yarn busting! I've been addicted to making them since you introduced me to them through your video. Can't wait to hear what the secret goal is 🎉
Happy New Year Kelsie and the PassioKnit community! I only started crocheting last summer and have been lurking around your channel pretty much from when I started. Thanks for all you do! Crocheting has helped calm my mind from my day job of parchment craft teacher and given much more of a work/ life balance in that regard. The one goal that resonated with me is growing my channel. It's only tiny now but I'd love to get toward 500 subscribers by the end of the year. I have some great things planned and indeed, already scheduled, so if it's your kinda thing, or even if you're curios as to what I actually do, I'd be honored if you'd take a look!
I've missed you young lady!! Happy that you took a break and hope you got everything you wanted for Christmas! You've got the momentum going to accomplish anything you set your mind on doing, so I'm confident this time next year you will be checking all 4 boxes! You didn't mention how you're going to handle any custom orders? Maybe open it up for a week each month? Happy New Year!!
Honestly the best thing you can do is have a monthly drop so you know when you will be doing the majority of your shipping and will free up longer periods of time to work on projects.
Kelsie! So glad you are back and I hope you had a great break. My business goals for 2025 are: - Write at least 10 patterns - List at least 10 items on Etsy (not patterns) - Have at least 10 sales on Etsy - Do my first market (at my town's pride festival!) And make at least my table fee back
I was rewatching your rainbow series during your break, I’d love to see you try that challenge again this year! You kept mentioning in those videos how they helped you use up a lot of yarn.
My goal for this year is to make all kinds of crochet items to get better at crochet because eventually I want to have my own business! Ever since I found your channel I have literally fallen in love with the whole crochet business and life long career!! So thank you for everything you do you truly are such an inspiration to me and I'm sure to so many more people. I love your content it means so much to me!!!!❤🎉
I have way too much yarn also. My craft room is horrible. Working on it daily to organize and use what I have. Wishing us both a very successful year in our hobby/business.
I've been working from my yarn stash since around July/August, so one of my goals this year is to buy more yarn than I did last year to restock it. I'm going to be making it my goal to slow down and just have fun. I would like to try harder to keep up with my weekly posting, and I'd like to make 8-12 pinterest projects I have had for years, lol. I can't wait for tomorrow video and I am so excited for this next year if fiber arts for all of us 😁❤️
You did great in 2024. Maybe that doesn't count for the set goals but you were always moving forward to make things better and to meet the needs at the time. You did great things this year!!! There were goals you reached that you didn't even set. So glad to see you and hope you feel better soon.
Yeah growing RUclips channel is my 2025 goal. I have two project videos in the making. I plan to provide more tutorial videos. We'll see! Best wishes to all 🎉
I’m happy I found in the end of 2024. I’m a new crocheter but I’ve been learning so much so fast and I really enjoy watching your vlogs. They’re so soothing but also interesting to learn too. Cheers to 2025 and can’t wait to be here for new vidsss
So hard on yourself lol. I watched you clean up your room looked Like you only bought yarn for the items you sold. and is your store busier cos looked to me like there was no extra time to make extra stock when trying to complete orders. Which were many. Give yourself some slack. Well done for all you accomplished in 2024. Wishing you a lovely 2025 ❤
Welcom back!! Missed you and Cesar. Hope your break was a welcome rest. The goals this year are simple since I now have a sentro. Lol. I would like to make headbands, crochet ami more, and clean up my craft space. I also do resin art, and my craft space is unworkable at the moment. Simple goals because cleaning is my nemesis.
Clear plastic totes are perfect for storing yarn! I keep all mine in totes because this is a multi functional studio, sometimes it gets dirty in here 😂
Kelsie! Welcome back I hope you are recovering from being sick. I look forward to what you have in store for us with this “surprise goal”! Also I think you’re being to hard on yourself about the yarn storage. The boxes are all your supplies for your business! You are constantly using the yarn from the boxes and I don’t see how you’re going to minimize it if the products in demand need the yarn you don’t have storage for. Not telling you to get more storage maybe just shift yarn around in the storages and get rid of what you don’t need? We will support you no matter what! Personally, I think I just want to make more content in general and I also want to get an online shop going (currently only doing markets). Keeping it pretty simple and attainable for myself. :)
I love your videos, it motivates me to make so much more and actually FINISH my projects!! I have a suggestion of something else you could make to add to your product items, I’ve been making pairs of socks, which took me almost 3 hours to make one sock, so six hours to crochet a pair, just a little idea ❤🎉 happy new years Kelsie 🫶
I agree with @ondyp; using up acrylic yarn will free up shelf space. Can you make hats or ear warmers with the acrylic yarn this winter? If your family took all your Christmas hats, you have a market for the hats.
HNY! Now listen to your Auntie A, because I'm older and wiser. As a business owner, you don't have a "stash" you have an inventory, supplies, or materials. Also, you may never have a stocked website. Baby, your products are gorgeous, and your customers are refreshing several times a day and buying multiple items before others do. Not a bad problem to have. My opinion, you are being too hard on yourself but it's good to have goals and to make time to evaluate them. CONGRATS on a successful 2024! Can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for you!!!
such a lovely message 🥺
This is so nicely written, makes me wish I had my own auntie a life advice. lol. You seem very sweet. 💛
So Kelsie, listen to Auntie A. 😊! She's a wise lady.
I agree. You increased your inventory because of all the scrunchies and market bags you made, and sold. You technically increased your business, so your stock increased. Stop beating yourself up just because your business is doing well. Love all that you do.
You are an angel!!!!! May your blessing be overflowing sis
Video idea: everything I sold in 2024. If not for a video, just to see for yourself the amazing numbers of how many tops, bags, scrunchies, beanies, and bandanas you made and sold. Then every time you feel bad about not having stock up on your website you can look at all the hard work you’ve done.
love this idea!
i love this!!!
Suggestion: use up your acrylic yarn with the sentro quickly, then fill the cubbies from your boxes.
love this idea...
or check which yarns you do not use/like and donate them :)
What I took away from this video is that things can change a lot in a year. I didn't see it as you failing to meet your goals for 2024 but, rather, that your situation has changed. Your business grew; your subscriber count on RUclips grew; your views, orders probably all increased substantially. The reason your shop is sold out of everything is because your shop is just that popular right now.

Or having the time to write more patterns - you physically didn't have the time to write more patterns, because you had an unending stream of custom orders to make. I don't think there's anything you need to do better. You're doing amazing. Your 2024 goals just couldn't catch up to you, is all. 👍👍
I know you're worried about changing your background but just think how pretty it would be with the cubbies behind you full of velvet yarn! 😍
I cannot believe how much you posted this year. You definitely MASTERED that goal!!!!!
You could start by making one project every week with yarn from your stash, on top of whatever you’re planning for the week. That’s what I’m doing and trying to do this past year and it’s gone well! I’ve used up some of my stash. I’m hardcore focusing on it this year and I’m also on a yarn buying ban unless it’s for a specific pattern I’ve picked out to do this year or an order that someone places.
That’s a great goal!
Happy new year kelsie. i am a long time supporter but never comment. Seeing you beat yourself down at the beginning of this video was heartbreaking. You work so so hard releasing vlogs multiple times a week, coming up with new ideas, keeping yourself motivated and staying ontop of orders. Your products are such high quality, both your physical crocheted items AND your videos. You bring light to so many peoples lives as seen in these comments. In the new year yes it would be amazing to work through some yarn, make new patterns etc but the reality of a crafter and business owner is that you are constantly time short. Youre doing amazing and we are all so excited to spend another year with you
Yeah your back lol had withdrawals lol
I’m going to guess a Juicy Couture collab!🤞🏼
That would be so cool! ❤
My take on your “yarn stash”. The majority of this yarn is supplies necessary for your business. I would imagine if you had put the year purchased on all your lily cotton yarn you would find you had very little little lily yarn purchased in 2023 still in your office. Most of the lily and juicy yarn you have is so that you can fill all the custom orders you receive in a timely manner. This is all necessary to run your business.

My favs Passioknit Kelsie & MJ’s off the hook‼️‼️ 🧶 ✂️ 🤚
One of my goals this year is to learn how to knit. I have been crocheting for 20+ years now. Your beanie tutorial is amazing and I am working on my first hat!! I am actually knitting!! Thank you for being such a great teacher!! ❤
Congratulations on all you have achieved in 2024. I think it is a lot and I am so glad you post 3 times a week.

I think you tried your hardest to meet all your 2024 goals. You definitely made a lot of items, which used up a lot of your yarn stash. And you tried to keep stock built up, but things just sell so quickly on your website (which is awesome!) Also, the “write more patterns” goal was technically met too, because you now have 2 more patterns on your website than you did at the end of 2023.
Great job on reaching your goals in 2024, you are awesome! Keep striving for bigger and better things, and continue to hold yourself accountable. As long as you are better today than you were yesterday, that’s a win!
My favorite crochet content creator ❤️🇵🇭 watching you here in the Philippines 🇵🇭
I’ve enjoyed your post and you should be proud of yourself!! 2025 will be even better.
Yayyyyyy Happy New Year to you as well. Hope you enjoyed your time off and your anniversary with the hubs. ❤🎉

Great to see you back after your break. Situations change over a year and you did great. Happy new year, may 2025 bring you joy as you bring joy to us
You’ve inspired me to post on RUclips and create a crochet business too 😊 my website will be up soon! So thank you Kelsie!
You are doing an awesome job and I will continue to watch your videos no matter what you do. Luv watching and listening to you. Thank you I have been crocheting for years and sometimes a little bored but you have made it fun again.

I think your once a month drops will help with your yarn stash since you won’t have to constantly run out of one specific type of yarn and go get more you can just use what you have then post what you made with it!
I think you did a great job with your goals. I also think you should give yourself some grace about all the yarn you have because you have a business that requires you to have yarn. All that yarn will be used no doubt and more than likely you did use up all the cotton yarn that was on your floor in January 2024. So I’m here to say you did accomplish that goal.
As for myself, my goal is to make a blanket for both of my adult children and all 6 of my grandchildren, so 8 blankets total. Plus my oldest grandson wants me to make him a star shaped bunting for his future child…he’s getting engaged this year and they are hoping to have a child in 2026/27. So that is my goal this year.
Was so excited to see this video at lunch! Missed seeing you everyday! You spoiled us! Good luck with your goals! Will wait patiently to hear your big goal!
Yesss so glad to see that notification! I hope your little vacation was lovely 💙❤🧶🎈💙
My goals in 2025 include decluttering, renovating my house and getting married/hosting an epic wedding 🤩🙌✨️
Congratsss🤍 i’m sure you’re gonna have the wedding of your dreams💕🎀
Happy new year. 🎉Anyone else laughing at past Kelsie roasting herself. We all have the problem but its funny hearing the difference one year can make :) happy to have you back
Happy to have you back, and happier to hear your break wss restful for you! You worked so hard throughout 2024 and especially Vlogmas, so this viewer is happy you got a break after all that grinding.
Re: your stash - I saw another comment say you, as a small business, have materials and inventory, and its good to have those things to make sure your business stays going just in case, the JIC stash. That being said, if you have a lot of yarn you don't have specific plans for, why not continue the Vlogmas wheel and do a Stashbusting kind of series in the vlog backgrounds? Maybe 1-2 stashbusting projects a month, or when Saturday lives resume that could be a more "dedicated" use for that time? Giving yourself the permission to use the stuff and letting us give you ideas like we did for Vlogmas combined into using the wheel - win win!
Love this idea!
Hiii just wanted to say thx soo much for the awesome year keep posting luv u soo much from Ella in:Africa😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think having the monthly "how much yarn did we use" videos might help motivate you to use more of the yarn. ALSO loved the color videos you did before, maybe we could have some more? Could help build stock and def give you a challenge too.
TY for the M/W/F videos we look forward to them so much
Thank you :)
Happy new year! Making more of those coasters would be great for cotton yarn busting! I've been addicted to making them since you introduced me to them through your video. Can't wait to hear what the secret goal is 🎉
Happy New year. Go girl.I wish good luck.😊Thank you for sharing.
Happy New Year Kelsie and the PassioKnit community! I only started crocheting last summer and have been lurking around your channel pretty much from when I started. Thanks for all you do!
Crocheting has helped calm my mind from my day job of parchment craft teacher and given much more of a work/ life balance in that regard. The one goal that resonated with me is growing my channel. It's only tiny now but I'd love to get toward 500 subscribers by the end of the year. I have some great things planned and indeed, already scheduled, so if it's your kinda thing, or even if you're curios as to what I actually do, I'd be honored if you'd take a look!
Any achievements are amazing no matter how small 😊
HAPPY NEW YEAR KELSIE!! HAPPY NEW YEAR PASSIONIKTERS!!! 🎉🎉🎉
clear totes are stackableyou can see at a glance what you have and gets your floor clean it works that's what I did it keeps yarn clean also
Hope you complete all your goals 🎉
Hurray kelsie is back, we missed you so much 🥹🥹🥹🥹❤❤
Why did she come back with?
Telling us she's going to do even less more. Unfortunate
@@ChristeneParadisWhat are you talking about? 😅
I believe the 4th goal is to get 1M subscribers on RUclips and do hope you achieve that 🙌🏻 I will be here to watch it happening ❤ happy new year🎉
She's back!! ❤❤ I'm so glad you had a nice break, (not about you getting sick)
Happy to have you back! Be inspired! ❤ 24:21
I've missed you young lady!! Happy that you took a break and hope you got everything you wanted for Christmas! You've got the momentum going to accomplish anything you set your mind on doing, so I'm confident this time next year you will be checking all 4 boxes! You didn't mention how you're going to handle any custom orders? Maybe open it up for a week each month? Happy New Year!!
Honestly the best thing you can do is have a monthly drop so you know when you will be doing the majority of your shipping and will free up longer periods of time to work on projects.
Happy new year! I love your goals and content! Looking forward to watching more of your videos this year
Your videos have helped me come out of depression
You have used a lot of yarn, but people also have been sending you yarn. So I think you did accomplish you goal.
Kelsie! So glad you are back and I hope you had a great break. My business goals for 2025 are:
- Write at least 10 patterns
- List at least 10 items on Etsy (not patterns)
- Have at least 10 sales on Etsy
- Do my first market (at my town's pride festival!) And make at least my table fee back
Happy New year, and welcome back. I'm sure you will complete this years goals.
I was rewatching your rainbow series during your break, I’d love to see you try that challenge again this year! You kept mentioning in those videos how they helped you use up a lot of yarn.
Yay!!! Happy new year! I’m so glad you’re back 🎉❤
So proud of you, 14:18 you did great. Glad you are feeling better. Give your self a break. You only bought yarn you needed to run your shop.
My goal for this year is to make all kinds of crochet items to get better at crochet because eventually I want to have my own business! Ever since I found your channel I have literally fallen in love with the whole crochet business and life long career!! So thank you for everything you do you truly are such an inspiration to me and I'm sure to so many more people. I love your content it means so much to me!!!!❤🎉
Can't believe how much I missed your vlogs! Excited to see what the new year brings for you and your channel 😊.
Can’t wait to see what you accomplish this year! Love watching you MWF’s ❤
I have way too much yarn also. My craft room is horrible. Working on it daily to organize and use what I have. Wishing us both a very successful year in our hobby/business.
I've been working from my yarn stash since around July/August, so one of my goals this year is to buy more yarn than I did last year to restock it. I'm going to be making it my goal to slow down and just have fun. I would like to try harder to keep up with my weekly posting, and I'd like to make 8-12 pinterest projects I have had for years, lol. I can't wait for tomorrow video and I am so excited for this next year if fiber arts for all of us 😁❤️
Happy new year everybody 🥳🥳🎇 you should use some of your acrylic you have on the shelves and make room for all the velvet 😂
You did great in 2024. Maybe that doesn't count for the set goals but you were always moving forward to make things better and to meet the needs at the time. You did great things this year!!! There were goals you reached that you didn't even set. So glad to see you and hope you feel better soon.
Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉⭐️⭐️⭐️💥💥💥
Slay girl I think you can all of those goals and I am so happy to be subbed to you so I can watch your videos
You also did your granny square vest? So glad you’re back and hope you are feeling better ❤
welcome back!!! so glad you were able to take some time off for yourself < 3
Happy New Year Kelsie, you do a great job in 2024, I hope you can fulfill your goal at 2025.
Yeah growing RUclips channel is my 2025 goal. I have two project videos in the making. I plan to provide more tutorial videos. We'll see!
Best wishes to all 🎉
I’m happy I found in the end of 2024. I’m a new crocheter but I’ve been learning so much so fast and I really enjoy watching your vlogs. They’re so soothing but also interesting to learn too. Cheers to 2025 and can’t wait to be here for new vidsss
So hard on yourself lol. I watched you clean up your room looked
Like you only bought yarn for the items you sold. and is your store busier cos looked to me like there was no extra time to make extra stock when trying to complete orders. Which were many. Give yourself some slack. Well done for all you accomplished in 2024. Wishing you a lovely 2025 ❤
Hi, Missed your vids/vlogs but glad you got a much needed break. Well deserved. Do hope you feel better soon. 🧶🫂
So happy you are back 😁
Im so excited your back
Welcom back!! Missed you and Cesar. Hope your break was a welcome rest.
The goals this year are simple since I now have a sentro. Lol. I would like to make headbands, crochet ami more, and clean up my craft space. I also do resin art, and my craft space is unworkable at the moment. Simple goals because cleaning is my nemesis.
Yay. Awesome. Have missed you. Glad you took time for yourself.
Clear plastic totes are perfect for storing yarn! I keep all mine in totes because this is a multi functional studio, sometimes it gets dirty in here 😂
Kelsie! Welcome back I hope you are recovering from being sick. I look forward to what you have in store for us with this “surprise goal”! Also I think you’re being to hard on yourself about the yarn storage. The boxes are all your supplies for your business! You are constantly using the yarn from the boxes and I don’t see how you’re going to minimize it if the products in demand need the yarn you don’t have storage for. Not telling you to get more storage maybe just shift yarn around in the storages and get rid of what you don’t need? We will support you no matter what!
Personally, I think I just want to make more content in general and I also want to get an online shop going (currently only doing markets). Keeping it pretty simple and attainable for myself. :)
Happy new year great seeing you back love you ❤❤❤❤❤
I love your videos, it motivates me to make so much more and actually FINISH my projects!! I have a suggestion of something else you could make to add to your product items, I’ve been making pairs of socks, which took me almost 3 hours to make one sock, so six hours to crochet a pair, just a little idea ❤🎉 happy new years Kelsie 🫶
I agree with @ondyp; using up acrylic yarn will free up shelf space. Can you make hats or ear warmers with the acrylic yarn this winter? If your family took all your Christmas hats, you have a market for the hats.
Love your new goals, they feel kinder on you than last years ones! I’m so glad you had a lovely break too! 🥰
You have been great..pat yourself on the back..I'm still watching!
