UNRAVELING the BUSINESS: A WEEK in the LIFE of a CROCHET ENTREPRENEUR

- Being a crochet business owner is NOT something I EVER thought I would be doing at this time in my life, but there’s nothing I’d rather spend my time doing.
And this week I’m going to take you along and show you what it’s like running my own crochet business. This might be interesting to you if you already have your own handmade business, you want to start your own crochet business, or if you’re just nosy like me and like to take a peek into others lives just to see what it’s like.

Hi Elise. First let me say, I've seen some chewed up fingers, so I can't understand why anyone would say anything derogatory about your hands. Your hands are just fine the way they are, but you should absolutely pamper yourself. Second, thank you so much for explaining why content creators have their picture with their mouths hanging open. It drives me crazy, I think it's goofy looking ( among other not flattering words) and not just on you but other lovely ladies like yourself also. I had no idea TH-cam wanted it done that way! I do enjoy these types of videos, I learn a lot from you.
I should clarify, it's not that TH-cam wants us to do it that way. It's that people will click on thumbnails that have expressive faces, the crazier the better. For many years I made thumbnails the way I thought looked nice and my channel did ok, once I started making the expressive face thumbnails my channel started growing like crazy! ❤️❤️❤️
Drives me crazy, too. Unattractive, and juvenile.
Woah…”among other unflattering words?”, not everything are we going to like or agree with. Good to take what you can from everything and leave what you don’t want behind. Just seems like a not very nice thing to say.
I've never said unflattering things to any content creator. My mother told me if I had nothing nice to say, to say nothing at all. My point was, I was glad that Elise explained the reasoning behind the expressions on the thumb nails. I would never say anything ugly to anyone, in person or online. I think Elise is a beautiful lady, I didn't realize different expressions got more clicks than others.
I temember those days! I am a nurse and worked at a residential school for the Deaf for 30 years. Hands were very important. In hospital nursing (10 years before that) I never thought about self-care especially for my hands. They took s lot of abuse every day and manicures didn't last long! Sign language gives you a different perspective on your hands! Now that i've retired - and more or less adjusted to not having 24- hour call, no kids at home, and less laundry, house chores and less demands on my time, i wonder how i did it. It took a while to realize i didn't have to keep up the pace but i think i've got it now and i love it. I wouldn't trade those days for anything but it's nice not to have a schedule - except for grandkid duty once in a while and in the summer. You are awesome and the job you do is incredible. As long as you still enjoy it, go for it. Don't let others change your fun! ❤❤🤟🙏
Thank you so much! What an amazing career you had!!! Thanks so much for sharing! 🧶🤟❤️
My friend, i love the fact that you're talking time for self-care. You give so much to us and you deserve it! Manicures are so wonderful and i think it's a great way to pamper yourself. I always enjoy seeing your behind the scenes stuff. Have a most wonderful weekend 🙂
Thank you so much, Sarah! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️❤️❤️
Can I just say your my favourite crochet 🧶 TH-cam and your videos brighten my day!❤
Awww! Thank you so much! ❤️
You have such a warm and wonderful screen presence. I enjoy your videos and have learned so much from you. Keep up the good work!
Awwww! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
and now I know why I don't want to be a TH-camr...all that behind the scenes work..my hat is off to you and other TH-camrs..
Haha!! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
On a side note- please don't take any negative comments from trolls to heart, their is nothing wrong with your hands, those of us who care love you the way you are. You have inspired me with your advice in the videoes. I now add the tiny yarn threads to my stuffing instead of throwing them away. sending you positive vibes!
Thank you! The negative comments usually don't bother me! ❤️
Great video! Love seeing what all goes into this type of biz! Mostly all I do is sell what I've made either on my fb page, word of mouth, & craft fairs. Thanks for sharing!
That's wonderful!! 🧶🧶🧶
Interesting video about the processes you go through for your successful business. I really enjoy your work and I love to crochet. I especially liked that you pamper yourself a little by getting your nails done. I think you should make peace with your hands though. They do so much for you and I thought they were beautiful like the rest of you. Keep up your amazing work and thank you for your wonderful creativity.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Loved seeing behind the scenes of your business. I would like to say your hands are fine. You are a crochet and knitter, not a sponsored hand model. I really don't understand why anyone would make a negative comment about your hands. That's crazy to me. It's nice to see just how much work goes on behind the scenes because people need to be reminded that it's way more than just crocheting. Thank you for all you do
Awww, thank you! I think people are sometimes trying to be helpful, but it can be hurtful. I have learned to brush it off! ❤️❤️❤️
I think it's so cool that you do all this work week by week and still find so much time for family!! I think you would be the best grandma or aunt ever!!
Awww! Thank you! I can't wait to have grandkids!! ❤️
You are one busy lady. I don’t understand how you can do all that you do and still stay sane. I certainly have benefited for you creative diligence. Thank you!!❤
P.S. your hands are beautiful and amazing!
Awww! Thank you!! ❤️
😘😘😘
I'm really self-conscious about my crooked fingers and swollen joints, so hearing you talk about about your hands was eye-opening. I've never thought your hands looked ugly! Makes me think that other people probably aren't judging my hands as much as I think they are...
You are so right!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the video! I really enjoy seeing the behind-the-scenes work that goes into this kind of business. And I love how organized you are. If it helps, your hands are not ugly! They are unique and show the love and effort you put into all you do! Take pride in that. You deserve it!
Thank you so much! I'm really not organized at all, but I'm working on it!! ❤️❤️❤️
I feel you Elise on all the work that goes into it. Once I dust myself off after a pattern and video and all that goes into it, I can't believe I have to do it all over again😂 You are such a hard worker though and I admire how you have grown your channel and your commitment! You are AWESOME!! FYI: I think you have the cutest hands!!!
Awwww, thank you so much, Katie!! It really is a lot of work!! I'm trying to do more designing and that is a TON of work! I don't know how you do it so regularly!!!!! 😘😘😘
I work in a warehouse and my hands can be messed up! I forgot my gloves yesterday and now I have two cardboard cuts and a paper cut on the nail bed if my left thumb. No polish. No nothing. So trust, your hands look 1000x better than mine!
Ouch!!!! Paper cuts are so painful and I can't imagine how bad a cardboard cut is!! ❤
@@EliseRoseCrochet imagine two paper cuts super close to each other but slightly thicker and more likely to remove skin and bleed. I know better. I've done this 7 years. I still do this. 🤣
I’m glad you explained the funny faces in your thumbnails. I was thinking as I was scrolling through your playlist that you always have your mouth hanging open and I thought it was a bit weird, but it makes a bit more sense now. 😂
Lol! They are goofy faces, but for some reason people will click on those faces over normal looking ones! 😂
Wow! So much to do yet you find time for family. Such an eye opener. You're a delight to watch.
Thank you so much!! I typically stop working at 3:30 pm on normal weekdays, family is my number one priority! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Élise for this video. For those of us who don’t have youtube channels, we have no idea how much work goes into producing videos every single week, and/or multiple times a week. On top of that, you have all your other commitments. Wow 😮. Hats off to you or, as we say in French, « Chapeau! ». Btw, your hands are more than fine. They’re hard working hands. Nothing wrong with that. And, yes, they and you deserve a little pampering. Once again, Merci! Merci! for all your wonderful videos.
Awwww! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️❤️❤️
I just LOVE all of your content! I can't believe I'm just now finding your channel, but I've binged quite a few episodes and I just love every bit of your content. Thanks for showing a hopeful one day crochet business owner what a week could be like!
Thank you!! And I'm so glad the video was encouraging!! 👏👏👏
thank you so much for your videos, i just started crocheting and when i saw your channel i was obsessed with watching every single video, i’ve seen literally all your videos! i have ADHD so when i discovered crocheting it truely was amazing to see my brain finally relax and focus on one thing for the first time ever😮 i love to watch your videos while i crochet, it keeps me motivated, thank you again❤
That's awesome!! It is wonderful to focus on something and let the world slip away just for a little while! ❤️
WOW! Well, now I need a nap! (I’ll take one for you too!) 😂 And I pat myself on the back everyday if I put pants on……thank you so much for what you do! You are so inspiring… It has made a huge difference in my life and my crochet work 😊💗
Haha!! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Elise
Thank you for sharing your behind the scenes 💗 it is very insightful to know all that goes on…I’ll keep chewing on the idea of creating a channel as I have a lot going on behind the scenes and I’m not sure I’ll have the time to dedicate right now. But I appreciate all that you do and the food for thought.
I absolutely love Pickle and Olive as they remind me of my two girls as they hated and loved each other at the same time, sadly I lost my grey calico as she was run over back In March this year 😢
I love that you take time to pamper yourself and I loved the colour you chose. It’s always nice to take time for yourself especially in the crazy world we live in.
I’ve never really noticed the funny faces on the thumbnails I think for me to be clicking on a channel to watch it’s what the person or channel is going to show or teach me…but that’s just me! Aside from the channels that are an automatic click like yours 🥰
I can’t wait to see your new Amigurumi toy and congratulations to you being showcased in a magazine, that is absolutely awesome and deserved!
And I’m happy for you that you can take the time to interact/respond with your followers as you are definitely one of a kind.
Take care and stay safe and well. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼💗🧶😻🧸
Awwww! Thank you so much!!! I'm so sorry about your kitty! That happened to my beloved Siamese cat when I was a kid and it was so heartbreaking. 💔
@@EliseRoseCrochet Thank you Elise 😻💗🙏🏽
I just love your videos so much. I aspire to be like you 😊 I’m very interested in having a crochet business, even if it’s just a small one. I’ve been obsessed with crocheting for a few years now. My grandma inspired me, just remembering all the things she’s made for us. I still have most of the afghans, and I even found a little hooded cape she made when I was a toddler I’m going to give to my granddaughter 🥰 always look forward to your videos. Thanks for all your content ❤
You can do it! ❤️
Hi Elise, I just wanted to say I love your channel. You are such an inspiration and got me into amigurumi again after years of hiatus. Also i'm loving granny squares more anf more every day. I can't crochet atm because of a broken elbow, but your videos give me the yarnlove that i need. Keep up your fantastic work, love every second of it. ❤
Oh no!! I hope you heal up quickly and are back crocheting before you know it!! ❤️🙏🏻🧶
I empathize with you, Elise about your hands and joint swelling. I have joints that swell, too. I believe your hands look fabulous btw!
Thank you so much! Thankfully my swelling has been better recently! I hope yours are doing better! ❤️
You are just so genuine and I loved this so much. Loved to see behind the curtain, as someone who is nosey and always kind of wanted a small business (mostly nosey though 😉)
Haha!! Thanks so much!! ❤️
Elise, your hands look just fine. One crocheter that posts instructional videos has dirt under her fingernails, says about that that she's been gardening and did her best to get the dirt out before filming. So don't be so concerned! 🤗
Awwww! I love that!! 🪴🧑🌾
Elise, thanks for this video, especially your comment about how important it is to reply to viewers’ comments! I wanted to tell you I became a loyal follower after you replied to my comment, even though I had posted it on your channel mistakenly! And, btw, when I reposted my comment on the right channel, I didn’t get a reply! Like you, I’m both a crocheter and knitter, and you made me feel like I wasn’t the only one who loves Addi knitting needles! I’m so impressed by your sincerity and helpfulness, and now I’m watching all your old post! ❤
Awwww! Thank you so much! I love Addi needles!!!!! 🧶🧶
I agree with what u said about responding to comments. I know you cant answer every single one, but i have commented on channels who ASK for you to correspond with them thru comments but they never respond to any of ur questions u ask. So when that happens i tend to pull back from watching that channel on a regular basis. Plus those are the channels that posts like 4-5 videos if not more every week and i jist dont have that much time
Oh wow!! 4-5 videos a week??? That's a lot!! 😱
Thank you for sharing! Some of my favorite videos are when people are real and relatable ... and you are always just that! Self-care is very important. I am just now learning that too (in my 40's). That little bit of time you spend on yourself can go a long way in feeling better throughout your day/week/month. Always looking forward to your posts. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you could relate!! 💅🧶❤️
Hey there don’t worry about your hands they are beautiful. I enjoy your videos so much that I really don’t pay attention to them. Lol thanks for sharing my friend
Thank you so much! Talking about them probably brought attention to them! 😅
Maybe but it’s not worth worrying about
I enjoy the tutorial and learning from you
I love your videos, and your amigurami is spectacular. Thank you for sharing about your business. I am also nosy and love to see how others go about life. Lol
Thank you so much! 🧶🧶🧶
Those beautiful hands make incredible creations! Love to you and your hands!
Thank you so much! ❤️
You are an inspiration! 😊 I enjoy every single video you make. Blessings!
Awww! Thank you! ❤
This was fascinating, thank you for sharing a glimpse of your business behind the scenes!
Very enjoyable, thank you. I'm a sticky beak/pokey nose 😆 I do like when crafty content creators share their behind-the-scenes work because so many TH-cam viewers are totally ignorant about how much work goes into making even a short video - there seems to be a perception that creators do little more than rake in the advertising revenue and live large on their profits 🙄
Haha!!! It is a lot of work and unless you're a huge channel (which mine is not) the money isn't as much as some people would assume. And it is a lot of work but I love it and it allows me the flexibility to care for my family. I feel very blessed to be able to do this. ❤️
Im a bit late to this video, but Elise I wanted to say that there's absolutely nothing wrong with your hands, they're very beautiful! I'm currently at the point when I decided not to go to university, but become a full time crocheter, and yt crochet content creator (I'm also nearing the end of designing my first amigurumi pattern!) but I'm extremely self-consious about my hands too. I've had dyshidrotic eczema on my hand for two years now, and it now has permanent scarring here or there, especially just above my "nail-bed". Its not like VERY bad, but if i were to make close up crochet video tutorials, it would definitely be visible. Reading all the nice and supportive comments you got for this video made me think that there is hope for me too🙂 you're so talented with making videos, and giving us inspiration, and your amigurumi aesthetic is lovely! Your thumbnails always make me smile, they're very creative! ❤️🧶🐻🤗
Thank you so much!! Most people are very kind! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for an inside look. I've been trying to get my business up and running so it did provide some great ideas. ❤❤❤
I'm so glad it was helpful! ❤️
Thanks for the behind the scenes look.
You're so welcome! ❤️
I loved this Elise! I don't like my hands either. They've looked like they belong to a 75 year old since I was 13. LOL It is what it is. And I hear you on the comments. 95% positive but the other 5% ....hahaha well. "you're too fast, you're too slow, put some paint on your nails! Don't put paint on your nails!" 😆 I've learned to laugh at this. Thank you for all that you do and I can't wait to see the pattern release. My fingers are crossed that it's the cute duck you shared a while back. I can't wait to make him!
Thank you so much, Roz! I'm sure you can relate to so much in this video! The duck is still in progress, lol. I had to stop that process while I got this other design finished! The duck is coming soon!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@EliseRoseCrochet yay! 😀❤️
The photos for the thumbnails are extremely accurate hahah! I love it! I don't do work for TH-cam, but finding the right photo, even for photoshoots just feels the exact same.
Now that I finished the video, I love the peek into your life! Akin to other influencers on the platform. We don't see a lot of things they're known for just because that's either content for the future or a video. Why spoil the crafts or b-reels. Just makes me look forward to seeing the video. Hope the sponsored video goes well!
Thank you so very much! ❤️
This is the cutest crochet channel!
Awww, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your frankness about the TH-cam business!
Thank you!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thanks for sharing behind the scenes!
You're so welcome! 🧶🧶🧶
Wow what a busy week. Thank you for giving us a peek inside your busy life. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing your new pattern. Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
I struggle with my hands as well. I'm pretty clumsy so I almost always have a scratch or two. But hands are hands! None of them are perfect! Thanks for posting such great content!💜💜
Thanks so much! 🤚
Hi Elise!
I got to say I love your videos! They give me so much inspiration to take my crochet business to the next level. I currently sell amigurumi, teach beginners to crochet and recently became a tech editor. I’ve been toying with the idea of starting a You Tube channel, and thanks to you, I think I will do it this year!
Still busy with my full time work, but in a few months, I will make the scary first step to do what I love full-time.
Thank you for the inspirations, you are truly wonderful! 😊
That is awesome! Sounds like you're doing all the right things!! 🧶🧶🧶
Love the behind the scenes look!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
You, and your hands, are beautiful. I've always thought so. I totally understand the hands thing though. Sometimes I look at mine and go "Ugh! Those are my mother's hands!"
Haha!! My mom has nice hands, I think I got mine from my dad! 😂
Thank you for sharing. Sending positive thoughts your way and best wish in your endeavors. 🙂
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos and especially your work. It’s all beautiful.❤
Thank you so much! ❤
I love this behind the scenes! Especially the thumbnails. 😂 It must be so hard trying to cater to what TH-cam promotes. This video felt like catching up with a friend. Hope you’re well! ❤
Thank you so much!! Keeping up with what works on TH-cam is something I try to do, but sometimes I just have to do what feels right to me! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes this is exciting and you are busy. Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome! ❤️
I paused the video just to say that I think it’s really sad that someone said something negative about your hands. That is so harsh and insensitive so say… To everyone: If someone tells you that you are no good or ugly in any way: don’t listen and don’t believe them. They are actually telling you something about them. Not about you.
Thank you for your nice and positive video’s!
Thank you so much. I deleted the comment and moved on. Thankfully I rarely get mean comments, most people are wonderfully supportive! ❤️❤️❤️
@@EliseRoseCrochet I’m happy to hear that! 💕😁
Thank you so much for the "sneak peek" into your life as a crochet entrepeneur. I really appreciate your honesty about having to balance your home life and your business life (including tuning the piano and refereeing the cats!😊)
Haha!!! Lots of juggling going on here!! 🤹♀️
You are a very busy person , I am that nosy person 😂 I love your nails , beautiful color 🥰
Haha!! I'm nosy too!! 😂
Ok, I need a vacation after watching that. My brain would just unplug itself and shutdown. I appreciate seeing how much work and time goes into what you do for us. I will never again grumble because posts or videos are slow coming out. You have a family and that should come first. I don’t know where you find the energy. Thanks for sharing. Taught me a lesson….be patient!
Awww! Thank you so much!! It was a pretty hectic week!! 😅😅😅
thanks for the upload!! i could probably never handle all that work at once haha, props to you for always staying so positive ❤❤
Awww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Elise, I had been thinking that I miss your vlog type videos! They’re my favorite of yours, when you’re super real. Thank you!!
Oh thank you! I'm always afraid to do them because I worry so much that they are boring! ❤️
Loved this video! Thanks for the insight. (❤ed the thumbnail pics😊)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🧶🧶🧶
Hi Elise. I'm always excited to see a new video of yours! I know there will always be nasty people, but still Can't understand, why they take the time to type nasty comments🙈. Just leave the channel, if you don't like it😟.. You are such a wonderful person, with great content!! I surely have learned a lot from you! Thx so much!
Thank you so much! Thankfully I get fevers few nasty comments and I usually just delete them. ❤️
Oh, Elise, your hands are lovely! And even if they weren’t, what kind of person makes crappy comments about someone’s HANDS, for crying out loud?!? I love your channel, and I especially love the way you love your animals. 🥰
Awww! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have short fingers too and have always been self conscious about them. You are amazing though, I love watching all your videos…I never would have tried Amigurumi if I hadn’t found your channel.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️🧶
Thanks for the inside look at your week. I love your videos and had never thought about all the work that goes into making it.
I sometimes sit for a 2 & 5 year old. I watch your videos while they nap.😊
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for such a great video. So informative and honest.
You're so welcome, Nancy! ❤️❤️❤️
I totally feel you Elise there’s so much that goes into a TH-cam video but like you stated I wouldn’t change a thing. I truly love what I do.
That's so wonderful! It's a lot of work, but worth it! 🧶🧶🧶
You filmed the building wall when going to your nail salon, "Life Rocks when you're a Gem"....that's you Elise, the" rare gem" who gives joy and stellar help in the crochet/knitting world! Keep filming and making silly faces.
Awwww! You are so sweet! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved the video! I think that people who are considering starting a crochet, or any business need to see what goes on behind the scenes before they jump into starting their own business. I am so glad you got so much done. Time for a tea break.
Thank you so much!! I don't know if I had known how much went on behind the scenes that I would have had the courage to start. But thankfully I just took one step at a time! ❤️❤️❤️
I dream with having my business. Im from small Costa Rica. Thanks for sharing.
That's wonderful! It's not something I ever thought I would be doing, but I love it! ❤️
Hi Elise,
I'm a lifelong nail biter so, I've seen and had issues with my hands for years. Your hands are always very nice in my opinion.
Lol! Now I know why you always have thumbnails that are full of energy. My grandpa used to always ask me if I was catching flies. Which was his way of letting me know my mouth was "hanging open." I had the habit of letting my mouth "hang open" when I was concentrating on either drawing, homework or crochet. Now I have a tendency to clench my mouth shut or kinda grind my teeth (which I think is way worse than hanging open). But, I always hear him in my head when I see thumbnails with someone with their mouth open. Lol!
Anyways, I always enjoy your videos and I learn a lot too. I really need to check out some of your crochet or knitting tutorials sometime.
I love your blog page too. Some day, when I've got some money to spend, I'm going to pick up the cotton bunnies patterns collection, like you suggested. They're just too adorable not to try.
I've got quite an Amazon wish list growing too.
Now, I'm going to say catch you in the next video before I chew up too much more of your busy day 😊.
🤟💜✌️🧶
Thank you so much for sharing!! And your grandpa's saying is hysterical!! 😂
@@EliseRoseCrochet grandpa was a hoot. He loved pulling pranks on his grand kids... although, he never did prank me as I recall. When I was younger, I didn't always get his teasing/humor. He passed away in 1985, when I was about 20 years old.
Elise, I'm so happy I found your channel! Your patterns are so lovely and I love these super in depth behind the scenes videos.
Thank you so much! 🧶🧶🧶
Loved the video today ❤
Thank you so much! 🧶🧶🧶
Your videos are so awesome! I have just gotten into Amigurumi, and I came across your channel. It is amazing and you do such a good job! My mind is running with the excitement of getting back into crocheting and making adorable things, and I feel like your channel matches up with my excitement. Also, your hands look perfectly normal! Never feel embarrassed or worried about them.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! So much work! RESPECT! I really never gave much thought about what goes into your channel and everything else! I have a brand new appreciation for you and others that I follow. I know that when you finally get to sit down to crochet, that is the best of it all! Love your channel so much! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! It's always interesting to see behind the scenes in someone else's life. I'm glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
I love your nail polish color. 😊
Thank you!! 💅💅💅
Happy Saturday Elise! Such a busy week! Thank your for sharing what your week was like! Deadlines and all! Have a wonderful weekend!😊
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Oops, I've been picking my thumbnail from the stills TH-cam suggests from the video. I'm still learning... And I hear you on the juggling part! Moms wear a lot of hats!
That's how a lot of people start but making a good thumbnail makes a huge difference in viewership! ❤️
I just got home from work and I’m relaxing and enjoying your video. Thank you for all the work you do putting out quality videos and patterns for us to enjoy and learn from. Much love 💕 Cheers
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
My two cats don't get along either. And thank you for explaining how thumbnails work. I could never understand the funny faces.
It's not fun having kitty cats who don't get along! ❤️
That was super interesting. I do think that most creative businesses involve more business than creative. Which is why when people say “Why don’t you sell your art?” I just say “Great idea!” And don’t bother to explain to them that it’s not just you sitting around creating. It’s sales, and packing and shipping, and SEO, and marketing, and so much more that you barely have time or energy to create
Yes!!!! I thought I would be spending a lot more time crocheting and knitting. But I have found I enjoy the business part and have leaned sooooo much! ❤️
Yours hands are very pretty so don't worry about it
Thank you! ❤️
reminds me so much of the secret yarnery channel
Thanks so much! Will have to check it out! ❤️
you're doing an incredible job at dealing with all this work! I could never! great job!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Elise. I so enjoyed all the news about crocheting behind the scenes. Wonderful information and how all things work together. Family time is so important for loves sake and resting the hands. As we work towards our goals we get satisfaction from doing a job well done. Creativity nurtured the soul in amazing ways. Hope you enjoy your nail time and photo antics, so funny. Love you and your channel! God bless you and yours🌺
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️
Really Nice to see behind the scene (totally in the noisy kind 🤭
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🧶🧶🧶
I so love all your videos and watching what you do made me tired lol . But I understand because I also have a small business but not doing videos which is a lot to accomplish. Just keep doing what you do because I will be here watching…❤️
Thank you so much! Running a small business is a lot of work!! ❤️
I am looking forward to the release of your new pattern! Please let us know when it is published! I loved your thumbnail face photos, too!
Thank you! I definitely will! ❤️❤️🧶
Fantastic video! I love the honesty and realness of it.
Thank you! ❤️
Great Video Dont worry about you hands or any negative comment Stay Safe xxx
Thank you so much! ❤
Appreciate all your hard work. Hope you get everything done by Monday and enjoy your daughter's graduation dinner ❤ Would you be able to share the online magazine that your pattern is going to be published? Thank you
I will share when the pattern is released!! ❤️
The best part of Saturday!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Sorry for several messages. But regarding your nails, that is one thing ive allowed myself to do for ME. I had to stop getting them done for 4 months due to financial restrictions. But i recently started getting them done again regardless. I started feeking a bit better.
It's kind of amazing how much it makes me feel better about myself!! 💅💅💅 I'm so glad you're able to get yours done again! ❤️
Another super video Elise, thank you so much for making them. I loved getting a little peek behind the scenes into your busy life. You always make me laugh (cutting out the bit when you say you rambled on about your hands 'you're welcome' 😂) I think your hands are beautiful by the way. I think getting your nails done is a lovely little bit of self care though and if it makes you feel good that's wonderful and you enjoy every minute in that salon! You deserve it x
Haha!! Thank you so much!!! 💅😂🧶
thanks for vid pretty lady. be safe
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I have looked and cannot find a resource that tells which knitting needles you use for MJTR and little Cotton Rabbits. I have Lykke but when you get down to 2.5 mm they are going to break. I must say that is the one problem I’ve had with that pattern. 3.0 mm needles almost impossible to find. The yarn stores inevitably hand me US3 which is 3.25 ugh. If you are ever back in the Asheville area you MUST go to Friends and Fiber Works. Sitting in the middle of a pasture sits a devine yarn shop. Love it.
Thanks for sharing!! I use Addi Turbo Rocket needles and find the correct sizes on Amazon. Mine have never broken and I use them a lot! 🧶🧶🧶
Good video! Kept my attention, was interesting, and I learned a lot about how you run your business. Enjoyed your sense of humor!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Congratulations on your daughters graduation 🎉🎉🎉 and your upcoming pattern release! I’m finally getting ready to start “A Kitten and her Mittens”! Sorry to hear people have left nasty comments- definitely a reflection of them, not you! I appreciate all your great recommendations and information you provide. Your cheerful demeanor always make my day brighter - have a great day!
Awwww! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Elise! I just love you!!
I always wondered why people made silly faces in their thumbnails. Thank you for explaining that!😂
This was such a fun video! And I love your editing style so much! All your videos make me smile!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!😊
Awww! Thank you so much!! It feels so ridiculous making those faces and taking photos, sometimes it makes me laugh so hard that I have to take a break. 🤣
You’re awesome!
Thank you! ❤️
