I Said I’d Never Sell My Crochet… Here’s Why I Changed My Mind

Have you ever wondered whether you should turn something you love, like crochet, into a side hustle?

In this video, I’m sharing my honest, real-time thought process as I navigate the decision to move from “crocheting just because I love it” to potentially selling my work locally. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer, because the truth is: only you can decide if monetizing your hobby is right for you.

I talk about:

How my goals have shifted after nearly five years on YouTube

Why selling finished items finally makes sense for me

The realities of local markets (especially in rural areas)

Creating a brand that fits your people, not everyone

Why your first market should be treated as a test, not a finale

I’m also sharing why I decided to help create my own handmade-focused market instead of trying to fit into spaces that weren’t aligned and what I’ve learned so far about branding, visibility, and confidence along the way.

If you’re standing at the crossroads between “I love this” and “could this be something more?” — I hope this video helps you feel a little less alone and a lot more informed.
