Welcome to Stitch, Please!

Welcome to Stitch, Please!, the blog that’s here to untangle the threads of running a crochet business. Whether you're hustling hard at craft fairs, managing an Etsy shop, or dreaming of leaving your 9-to-5 behind for a life of yarn-fueled creativity, this space is for you.

Let’s be real: selling crochet isn’t all warm fuzzies and perfectly tensioned stitches. It’s pricing debates, marketing decisions, and trying to explain to your uncle why you can’t just “charge for the cost of yarn.” (Spoiler: because we’re not a charity, Uncle Bob.)

Why Start This Blog?

I’ve been in the crochet business game for over two decades. I’ve designed patterns, taught classes, sold finished goods, and built a brand that lets me pay the bills doing what I love. Along the way, I’ve made every mistake in the book (and maybe a few new ones). Now, I’m sharing the lessons I’ve learned, so you don’t have to untangle those knots alone.

What You Can Expect

Here’s a little sneak peek of what’s coming:

Pricing Without Panic: How to confidently charge for your work without undercutting yourself.

Marketing That Doesn’t Suck: Practical ways to stand out in a sea of yarn.

Behind the Scenes: Honest looks at the good, the bad, and the tangled of running a crochet biz.

Real Talk: Why “exposure” won’t pay your bills and other hard truths.

Let’s Get Hooked

Starting or growing your crochet business can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. My goal is to give you actionable advice, a good laugh, and the confidence to take your business to the next level—even if that just means telling Uncle Bob where he can stick his “cost of yarn” comments.

Thanks for stopping by. Let’s make some magic (and money) happen together. Until next time, keep stitching and keep believing in your worth. Stitch, please!
