People expect handmade items at Walmart prices, and unfortunately some people give in to that expectation and way undercharge for something that we know took a long time to make
Yes, I know people who don't care about making fair money but it's such a disservice to everyone else. And obviously machine knit stuff doesn't help. Even worse, I went down a TikTok rabbit hole and found people in China live selling CROCHET plushies for Walmart prices - meaning someone is making and making and making without fair pay.
After many request at work, I started knitting to order. I did not charge much for the work, but would only take on projects if the person bought the yarn. I told them it did not have to be the same brand , as long as it was the same type (DK, 4ply etc.)
Yup. My first time you tube presented you to me. You go girl! Do what you want! Charge what you feel like! I spent a career as an engineering designer then taught the same for a bit at college level. When anyone gets snarky or sassy with me about my beloved crochet or sewing, I put on my lecturing professor persona, describe my pricing at the same rates as i would a mechanical design and make it clear that my time is money whether it's yarn, fabric, metal, electronics or any other medium. My elder daughter says, "Mom you are not a social butterfly, you're a social dragonfly." I'm old enough to pick my bug.
Welcome and thanks for hanging out! 💜 I almost fell like I should value it MORE because I don't get to enjoy it as much as I'd like to. My yarn 🧶 time is precious. Your daughter sounds awesome! Lol
@@StitchesGonnaStitch I did subscribe but been busy so have only watched this video. So I don't know your personal situation, but get the impression that your craft is not what's putting food on the table. Now, I don't know about you, but with the popularity of crochet right now, I have enough people whom I love, to just spend my joyful stitching time for them. Those other people? Well, if they aren't kind enough to move my heart, well, I don't need a negative attitude while I'm stitching. Nice people might get something from me, but the rest can fade into the background noise.
@@castironskilletgranny thanks for the subscribe and it's totally fine! Correct, I work full time, often over 40 hours plus all the other usual stuff: family, aging parents, etc. And yes, I'm not going to use my precious stitching time feeling dread or resentment.
Hi from SW Ohio! I know how infuriating it is when people act like what we do is so trivial. I did a craft market last year and I had one of my shawls on display...it was made from Hobbii Universe yarn and was beaded along the bottom rows. Just one row of the beaded part took over an hour. Someone asked me how much it was and I said $400...it took over two weeks to make and I wasn't taking less than that. She looked at me like I was crazy, so I explained why it was that much. I don't know if she really got the point, but I tried! Nice to find your channel..:)
Hi from NEO!!! A remember a guy in a Browns Backers club complaining that a knot or crochet hat on Etsy starts at $50 and why couldn't it be $20? So I took my hourly - conveniently $20/hr at the time, and accounted for materials. Made the ribbing band and posted this is $20 of work and material. He got the picture but I sincerely doubt he'd ever pay a decent amount anyway. But yes - beaded is... quite an endeavor. I remember doing a Kitman Figueroa patten phase in my life. Why, literally why lol. They turned out beautifully though. My spare time is valuable gosh yarnit!
@@StitchesGonnaStitch I would have suggested he buy the materials including crochet hook or knitting needles, and make it himself. If he says he can't knit, I'd say 'get a library book or watch a You-tube video.
I really like how you describe the feeling of the yarn on various needles. Great info!!! I only knit and crochet for myself and gifts because people don’t appreciate cost or work involved in making, regardless of media.
Thanks - and yes absolutely most people do not get it. And they think that because I *have* yarn already, it's basically free. That's not how that works...
Such a random coincidence, and this has nothing to do with handcrafts, but I also had a revelation about turning a hobby into a career while playing in a military band - for me it was conscription though, not employment, so I already knew when my last day would be when I started. It was absolutely an excellent experience overall and, if it were possible, I would do the year-long stint again, but it definitely solidified for me that, as fun as it was, I do not want to be a professional musician and instead want to keep it as a hobby I can enjoy. I think knowing that it will end on a specific day made it easier on the bad moments, because I knew it would not last forever and a different kind of life was waiting for me afterwards. But it also made the good moments all the more bittersweet... After leaving service, it took me quite a while to first of all find the joy of playing again and then to rediscover the type of music I like playing and the type of ensemble I like to be a part of. Nowadays, I play in an amateur orchestra whose level is high enough to be a nice challenge but not too high that it would suck the joy out of it, and I love it there. I am so happy I found the love of making music again.
Awww that's great! I haven't gotten the music bug back (yet). I have gone through periods of not crafting if I took too many orders and burnt myself out. Glad you were able to rediscover the joy!
I think I might have listened to the video you were talking about. It helped me solidify a decision I was trying to make and feel good about it. I related to so much of what you talked about here - even the music part. I was a harpist for a number of years and felt I couldn't turn down any job even if I had no business doing it. As such it ruined my enjoyment of playing. i don't intend to let that happen to me with crochet. Thanks for saying all you did.
Yes I've burned myself out before - even with charity crochet. I've given plenty so I'm fine saying no. My local stitching group someone asked if we could do a charity project (I started the group) ans I said anyone is welcome to coordinate it but I'm stretched too thin to participate. Needless to say, nobody ever did it. They always want someone else to do all the legwork. Creating should be fun, not a crank-out-as-much-as-I-can just for the sake of it. One of my locked in orders wanted to add another (sewing) project and I directed her to another coworker and said I'm paring down after my current slate. She's like omg you can skip the doll I'd rather have the shirt so thankfully she understood.
Elephants are a symbol of wisdom, and your story is full of wisdom. Creative people develop their skills through personal enjoyment and personal expression. Turning that into a monotonous job for money takes the joy out of it, even though a mark of success is people paying you for your skills, because they find value in the things you make. It's an odd thing that I think many creative people struggle to make sense out of. But yeah, great storytime.
Thank you! 💜 Elephants are my favorite animal so I am honored for the wisdom comment. I do think it's one HUNDRED percent OK to make your job crochet but I don't want anyone to get burnt out and it's worth having alternate hobbies outside of yarn. I can't remember who it was I watched recently that said the only reason they every sell is because they keep making things but can't keep everything. I thought that was so incredibly valid and probably going to be how I view selling. If I have enough extras, or I decide I loved this thing once and now prefer others, it'll be OK to let it go.
I never sell any of my items. I normally donate what I make. If someone wants me to make something for them, I usually will, but I only let them pay for the yarn and shipping if required.
I have no Hobby Lobby location near me which is fine because that company is crazy-right-wing and a lot of people in my county boycott businesses like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We’re lucky in my area to have lovingly run and well-curated yarn stores to complement mainstays like Michael’s & Joann ❤
Hey Holly! 👋 I'm Dori. 😅 just sitting here working on an amigurumi piece (crochet). I like chatty videos. That's the kind of content I like to put out as well! I have a list, like Santa, .. only certain people even make the list and when they send me stuff "I should totally make" , I write it next to their names and maybe they'll get lucky 😂😂
Hi Dori! I will check you out. And omgoodness I totally do that with the dry erase board on my fridge (minus my dad since he visits somewhat regularly). Just the other day I was like, why do I have so many Minnie patterns on my Ravelry queue? Then I remembered who wanted one last year. Oh well, it was going to be a total surprise anyway.
Oh my goodness, I thought I was the only one that disliked Hobby Lobby's website, Joann's app, and the Michael's in my area is garbage also. I literally have a better yarn supply at home. I was also in Joann's the other day and their yarn dept was so messy and disorganized. It was hard to find anything specific. I'm all about taking the risk to order online and have it shipped or pick it up curbside now. It's kind of weird that I'm able to order for pick up and have things in stock that I couldn't find at all "in store". Oh well, that's how it goes, not a big enough deal for me to allow it live rent free in my brain. Ok, NO WAY that you should take less just because it's a side gig. Custom = upcharge, working "overtime" = upcharge. It has to be worth it and just because it's a side gig doesn't mean it's worth less. Also & most importantly, just because you like your job/gig doesn't mean you should make less! Nope, nope, nope!!!! Enjoying your craft/art/job is not punishable by making less money. LOL, just think how silly that sounds. I enjoyed your video and I totally get that you have to be super careful about hobby-job crossover activities. I've ruined more than one hobby that way. Take care & have a great day!
Thank you! And yeah it's crazy how hard it is to shop online. I talked myself into just ordering online from Michael's and got so frustrated I gave up. It's sad because the first one in my general area (over a half hour away) was awesome when it opened. I just don't have any other reason to go to that area now and traffic is so bad there. The JoAnns by work is hit or miss, but definitely a smaller yarn section because it's a strip mall style store. Luckily my "home" (still not a super short drive or anything - rural life) JoAnns is the great big giant one in Hudson OH so I get spoiled by their offerings. But also overwhelmed sometimes because they keep expanding their yarn (yay). It does often mean I can order and get stuff in a day or two though even if I have it shipped. I ordered blanket quantity of one of their Halloween yarns over the weekend and I had it on my doorstep yesterday. Since it's the flagship, I did call and ask them about why the stock on the app says zero but regular website has 3 of a particular yarn a couple months ago. I just didn't want to waste the trip. She did admit they hold some stock for in-store shoppers or in case there's an inaccuracy in inventory. Then they went and grabbed it until I was able to get over there.
I really want to know what all you said! I agree with about the first half of your video, but you hadn't gotten to your point by then, and that running water in the background drove me nuts! I've been trying to get into selling my knit and crochet items, but I do intricate work with tiny hooks and needles, so it takes a long time and generally is not worth the prices I'm able to charge. Kudos to you for making it work! If enough of us demand to be paid for our time, the popular thinking will eventually change.
Sorry I usually unplug the cat fountain but sometimes I forget. But exactly, if everyone started sticking to standard pricing it would possibly be worth it. But unfortunately I've been to craft shows as a customer and there is always at least one booth that only charges a little more than the yarn cost.
A job is a job is a job. You are definitely not wrong to charge accordingly, nor are you required to give up your work/life balance for it. I knit/crochet/weave first as a hobby, and if it turns into a job, it's still supplies and time and job wages. I can only do it as a hobby, and I will not take on requested projects if they are too time consuming - why? Because it's my hobby, not a job. If it becomes a job for me. I will quit, because the love of the hobby is gone.
Yes! The whole "do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life" adage doesn't necessarily apply to hobbies. If someone LIKES making and selling, that's cool but I also suspect they have at least one other hobby to break it up.
@@StitchesGonnaStitch Exactly. I love my job and I love what I do in my job. But my hobbies help me break away from it so I can preserve that work/life balance and my sanity!
Hi Holly, nice to "meet" you! I do also get put off by people telling me I can make them things (as if it's a privilege lol) but I know it's meant to be a compliment, obviously they like what I make enough to own it/wear it/use it. Just curious...do you prefer to knit or crochet? I started knitting but once I found crochet, I'll never go back haha (ok that's a lie, I did knit a scarf for a crochet stuffie once). I really hate to online shop for yarn. I much prefer to touch and feel everything first, plus make sure the yarn matches. Even when I went to hobby lobby and wanted a few skeins of some fluffy frosted yarn, the undertone color didn't match (different shades).
Yes - they think we should be honored that we "get to crochet" um, yeah but I'm not crocheting what *I* want! It's my spare time and even my job pays me VERY well when I have to work in my spare time. I do enjoy knitting but finding quality ergonomic crochet holds that MY wrist likes has made me practically stop knitting altogether. It usually just depends on what I want to make and lately crochet stuffing is what my inner 8 year old wants lol. If I don't know a yarn/color very well I FOR SURE go in person. But for general basic colors or for yarns I'm already familiar with - please spare me the trip. I'm also semi-rural so on a day like today when I'm WFH it's a solid 30 min to JoAnn (granted I'm lucky that it would be the original Hudson flagship). Even Walmart is over 15 min away and not well stocked by me. I've also had very positive experiences trying KnitPicks and just ordered a bunch of fall colors. I totally get not wanting to chance it though!
omg the glitchy websites!!! yes!! i thought it was just me but every time i try to order from micheals it literally won't even let me look at my cart, it says it's empty and automatically refreshes the page like every 2 seconds so i can't even click on anything!! soooo annoying
The regular is not bad but I did look up the Silky recently and.... they are by far the highest. Obviously regular fiber fill is totally fine, I just wanted to be extra with the project in the next video.
🐘 Don't you just hate when something ruins your stitching mojo? What are you working on lately? 🧶🧵🪡
