Don’t waste your yarn!

I’ve had this project for over a year now and it’s time to finally let it go! Yes, it’s a little sentimental because it’s one of the first pieces I made, but it’s just been sitting😔

... Read moreIf you're overwhelmed by unused yarn and unfinished projects, you're not alone. Many crafters struggle with the idea of letting go of things they've poured time and effort into. However, it can be liberating to overcome the sentimentality attached to these pieces. 'Frogging' is a term in the knitting and crochet community that refers to unraveling a piece of work, which can breathe new life into your stash and make way for fresh ideas. Consider this: every yarn you save can become a new possibility. By releasing projects that no longer serve you, you're making space for creativity to thrive. Plus, you can reuse that yarn for something new, reducing waste, and contributing to a more sustainable crafting practice. If you're feeling unsure about what to do with your old projects, you can also look into donating them to organizations that accept craft supplies or even start a yarn swap with friends. Dive into hashtags like #yarnlife, #crochet, or #knitwear on social media to connect with others who share your journey and gather inspiration. Remember, crafting should be fun and fulfilling. So, don't let unused yarn weigh you down—embrace the opportunity to create something new!

Most sellers start backwards. They make a design first… then try to figure out how to sell it later. A better workflow is: 1. Start with Everbee Search products before you design anything. Look for: • repeated keywords • consistent sales • products with reviews • niches with demand yea

Don’t Waste Your Money on Etsy Ads!
Save this before you turn on Etsy Ads. A lot of Etsy sellers start ads before the listing is ready. They have a few products up, traffic feels slow, and Etsy Ads start to look like the next logical step. So they set a daily budget, turn on a bunch of listings, and wait for the sales to come i

Cotton yarn for beginners
Cotton yarn is the best option for summer clothing. The brand Peaches and Cream was the first 100% cotton yarn I worked with. It was very rough and hard to work with. I prefer working with cotton blends rather than 100% cotton. Typically, 100% cotton costs more than acrylic (per yardage). Cotton bl
