Slay Your Crochet :- Solid Granny Squares
Loving the solid granny especially as I'm using it to build a crop top...and I didn't want anything too holey!
It is a similar build to regular granny squares, but with a few moments where you need to pay attention!
I think these would make a sturdier granny square blanket too. Cabin in the Woods palette?

Selling at big events are terrifying! Being a Vendor at Stitch Festival 2024
มุมมอง 20221 วันที่ผ่านมา
In this vlog I'm chatting all about my experience as a vendor at Stitch Festival 2024. This was my first BIG event as a vendor, and whilst I have done endless 'tabletop' style shows in my 12 years of being a crochet designer and maker, this was my first one with a WHOLE BOOTH! It wasn't easy, it wasn't cheap...but was it worth it? I'm going to share what stopped me becoming a total anxious pudd...

    🎉🎉 glad it went well... and very excited you'll be at k&s . Big shows are sooooo hard work (we used to do 20+ comic cons including the biggest london shows a year with 2 sml kids in our other biz omg.. the logistics... sometimes 2 in same weekends in diff parts of the country splitting ourselves & stock🙈) until you've done it you can't imagine the tiredness and crazyness and also fun of it .. oh yes and don't even think of going to the loo... or worse being ill at a show!😢 my top tips... belvita breakfast biscuits, multi packs of juice boxes and tunnocks lol! Top tips for k&s . There's loads of yr11-yr13 school trips on weekdays .. used to take my students every year back in the day...(last year lots looking for crochet defo cos im super nosy and chatted to them even tho i was just a punter... there were very excited gangs of teens at the toft stand!) Also 'show deals' and easy to read pricing .... if you got a deal going make it obvious...so busy and people walking past in swathes full of bags , limited time cos so many come on coach trips and have to make quick decisions from loads of choice (though not many crochet stands so yr good there), I struggled to see prices on a lot of indie maker stands... and some that had great deals didn't make it obvious...so like you would only know if you know, that the £60 kit was usually £95 on their website etc. Also hate to say it but lots of us ladies of a certain age need glasses...if its too small no bugger can read it and lots of peeps are too scared to come and ask xx Hope it goes well xx i exhibited there as a graduate many years ago... hope to again maybe one day biz n health permitting (learnt the hard way...dont carry too many heavy boxes! ) but in the meantime I'll settle for visiting and seeing all the awesome designer & graduate stands . Looking forward to yr post show analysis on this one too thank you for being so candid and for being a fab brit 🇬🇧 crobiz vlog type person who says it like it is 😂
