Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Great idea 💡 👍👍
Glad you like it!
love this thank you I will get the pattern . Your patterns are great
Thanks so much! I hope you love it!
That yarn is especially beautiful! I love the idea behind this shawl as a keepsake from vacations. Very smart! I already bought the pattern, and I can't wait to make my own. ❤🧶❤️
Wonderful! Can't wait to see your shawl!
I do enjoy your styling ideas.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for this gauge series. I definitely find gauge swatching tedious, but I seem to crochet tighter than "normal" so it is always important to swatch,and now I understand how to troubleshoot things better. Thanks again! ❤🧶❤️
You are so welcome! I'm glad you found this video helpful!
Yes, yes, yes,. Thank you, Thank you, thank you.

Hi, I bought the pillow. Yes, it's pricing, very poor quality. The moment you put your elbows on it. It sinks, and it is not worth the money. What I ended up doing was. I had my son's Bobby pillow. And I put it inside there, added it in and it was much more firm and way better.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
❤❤❤
Isn't Clara the best!?!
Hi! First time watcher! Fun video! I like your energy a lot! Look forward to checking out some of your patterns too! Elise Rose crochet recommended a bag design for you and mentioned your KZread channel as well! Also I love excitement and energy your kiddos put in to your Mother’s Day! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much! You're so kind!
Way cool! Thanks for the share!!
You bet! Thanks for watching!
If you have deer problems plant marigolds - nothing eats them!
Ooo, that's a great tip! I'll have to plant some!
Hi, when is the last day?We can send you the picture for the shawl along?
I'll be picking winners tomorrow.
I've need this tutorial. Thanks from the leftie 👍👍
You’re welcome 😊
Crochet thread items was also my first thought in answer to the summer craft show question…maybe because I’ve been making bookmarks lately. 😊 There are so many patterns that you can adapt to using thread instead of yarn. Earrings would probably sell well. I love making them, but my hands complain if I do too many.
Yes, so true!
I am looking forward to the knit/crochet collaboration with you and Hope. So exciting!
Me too!! We're ironing out all the details!
You look so cute!
You are so kind!
@SEKHandmade just being honest! Love the jeans and t-shirt with the scarf and hair.
Thanks
You're welcome!
This scarf is gorgeous. I can't wait to make one! 🎉❤
Awe, thanks friend!
I chuckled that you said all crafters say “I could make that!”. When my husband and I were married MANY years ago, we shopped and shopped for a bed with our monetary wedding gifts. We kept saying “We could make our own bed!” Which we did. And we weren’t nearly the crafty people we grew to be. Thanks for the laugh!
Oh my goodness! That's amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!
I saw those earrings in another picture you posted or sent out recently and I was wondering if you had made them. Love them!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday, Sarah!🎉
Thank you!
Now I want to know what the fortune cookie said!! 😆
No fortune! I totally got robbed! 😂
But what was the fortune in your cookie????!!!😂
Ah, ha, ha! It was EMPTY! Can you believe it?😂
It was so fun to see your stash, Sarah! So many pretty colors, especially that East Coast Yarns “Northern Lights” skein. I also have that Malabrigo cotton from Knitcrate to make your table runner pattern 😊
So glad you enjoyed it! Isn't that Malabrigo cotton gorgeous?
Love the cowl concept! Also looks like good back-of-the-neck coverage.
Yes, it does! So cozy!
The colors of the Yarn Ink acquisition are very similar to your Lumi Cowl (at least on my monitor) !! Beautiful. Question - would you tell me more about the large ring on your right hand middle finger? It's really pretty and quite striking. Maybe you shared at some point in your small biz section. But as a new watcher, it might be a while before I stumbled upon the right episode.
Yes they are! Clearly I'm drawn to those colors!
I sure hate it when my squares come out at size boop when I had wanted them to be size beep! 🤣🤣🤣 Sarah, you crack me up, EVERY episode! Love you!🥰
Ha ha, thanks! You made my day!
Do you have written pattern or video how to begin
Yes! I used this pattern www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/francesca-headband
Blessings and crochet 🧶👋🏾🤗
Thank you!
Have you been to Fancy Tiger craft shop in Denver? I went a couple of years ago and enjoyed my visit so much (and my purchases!)
No, I haven't. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in Denver! Thanks for the tip!
I don't understand, it's too short.
Here is a longer video explaining working in the round. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aX-kzNKNk5PXZaw.html

Just found your Chanel, you are delightful. I am subscribing. I am knitting. I am not as good at knitting 84, but still do it. Much better crocheting. 🧡❤️
Thanks for subscribing! I'm so glad you found me, I'm so glad you're here!

I totally agree that having crochet shop samples is a "nod" to being crochet-friendly. I think shop owners who do not crochet or feel very inexperienced about crochet are reluctant to have crochet samples for which they can't provide assistance or answer questions effectively. Perhaps it's also difficult to find shop associates who can fill that need for in-shop crochet experience. Even if they can find that, very often shop associates are part-time and not available when the questioning crocheter visits the shop. So rather than avoid the uncomfortable feeling that they can't provide assistance, they just avoid it altogether. I love to crochet (and knit) samples! I support two LYSs currently (crocheted and knitted samples). I enjoy the opportunity to work with new yarns and try new patterns/designers.
Such great perspective! Thank you so much for sharing!
Very good discussion. How close would you say is "close enough"?
Great question. I think it really depends on what you're making. If it's something that doesn't need a close fit, than you may not have to be too accurate. Just be sure you have enough yarn. If it's a pattern that needs a fairly close fit, you may want to think about making adjustments depending on the construction of the project.
By the way I love your hair style it looks very pretty on you . .
You are so kind. Thank you!
