Crochet Market Prep 🐐 Goat Edition 

Quinn, first off I love your videos! This one was extra special because I learned about using goats as forest fire prevention! Your goats and other farm animals are so adorable. Turned out great! Second, and this is important, do NOT feel bad about spending time with your toddler! It's good for her to see mommy working and being successful, but these are such formative years that you're absolutely right in that you should be spending time with her! I help my sister and her husband raise their 2 kids and have for like their whole lives, my niece is now 7, and my nephew is going to be 4 at the end of August. Being part of their lives is such a blessing for me and I wouldn't change it for anything! As your daughter gets older she'll understand more about you working and will be happy to just do something in the same room as her. For now though, giving her your attention is so important! You're doing the right thing. You will eventually book shows further out from one another and have more time to make inventory but for now, girl you are rocking it! I'm so happy for you with how well you do at your shows!

This is a beautiful season of life you’re in, Quinn, raising strawberry girl ❤ it’s a very important job, too. You are balancing between being Mom and Business Owner and that is difficult. I hope you’ll give yourself more grace. We all think you’re doing awesome at both 💕

I about fainted when you brought that cow out, I knew it right when I saw those colors! 👏🏻

Hello, I know I have mentioned this to you before...but I relate to you so much. You are telling my story regarding my crochet business struggles and mistakes. I too signed up for too many markets and did not have enough time to prepare. When I finally sit down to crochet at the end of the day, my two-year-old daughter sees me crocheting and wants my attention. I started buying her sensory bins from Michaels and Amazon; she loves them. She will play with them for a few hours while I am crocheting. I set a table next to me and she will play with it for a few hours. My biggest struggle though, is never feeling like I have enough inventory and have enough hours in the day to prepare. Btw, love the black and brown goats, and thank you for posting your market prep videos!

Interesting story about goats eating all the underbrush for fire prevention. Your crocheted goats were nice especially the black one and the last reddish brown one. I hope you do well at the event!❤

Thank goodness, another Cat Cake video! I've been re-watching your previous videos while crocheting but it's fun to have something new LOL! And GOATS!? Love! And love how the events you attend have such good impact on the community!

Hi Quinn! I love your goats. I don’t think they look like sheep at all. Thanks for this video. I was absolutely entranced watching this one. I love the info you gave us about the goats. What a cool show. I wish we had more like them here.

Oh, if you can order it try Premier Chenille Basix Brights, I use that interchangeably with Bernat Baby Blanket. They are very similar and I buy mine from Herrschners and I buy the three pack but since it is on sale I think they took the three pack off, but they have it on sale for $3.14 a skein. Which aint bad!

You got this! You will be surprised at what people buy! What you think wont sell sometimes does and what you assume will sell doesn't! I think your big goat is awesome. I just watched the movie Wish the other day for the first time and I was thinking I would like a goat pattern and sell a star with it it That big goat is is just kinda what I have been looking for. Also when you add accessories or little embellishments people love that stuff. So a little flower or a little bandanna around the neck could be just the little extra something. Although the eyes you have chosen really have elevated your items to another level. They are pretty awesome. Do what you can when you can do it. If you sell out, you sell out! It's not a bad problem to have. Good luck to you at the festival and smoosh a kiss on your baby girl.

I love your shows. Doing a great job raising your daughter and a job.😊

Just found you! 😊 Love your goats and that sounds like such a fun festival. Good luck with your sales. ☺️

I lived in Humboldt when the Paradise fires burned. I’ll never forget the smoke. Super glad to see this event’s success. All of your stuff is adorable and I’m sure the event will go swimmingly. 💜 Also love how you prioritize your kiddo.

Omg, TOTALLY AGREE on the home slim. I went and bought a bunch because so many people use it, I returned most of it today. The colors are awesome, but I do NOT like working with it.

I love the giant goat plushies 😭 I want more stuffed animals that are designed for adults to feel like they’re a 5 year old holding a build a bear

I love the history segment. The very last goat is by far the best. Will you add the hair under the chin? Good luck at this event! Have fun!

The goats are cute but I'm thinking because they don't have drop ears is why they look less like goats 😊

I LOVE the last goat and it's flower eyes! 😍😍😍

Thanks for the shout-out my friend. If you don't like all the sewing in the sleepy cow, she has a smaller no sew version too ❤️ You did a great job making what you could! 😄

You are doing an amazing job. Never doubt yourself. I always look forward to seeing your videos. And you are a great mom... no doubt

I’m trying to make bookmarks & pattern suggests to use a fabric stiffner. Did you use one and if so what did you use? Thanks!

We’re always our own worst critic, but all your goats are absolutely adorable and I’m sure they’ll find their homes!! ❤

I LOVE the goat with flower eyes! Perfect eyes for goats.

I really love that you told us about the goats preventing wild fires! How cool! I also love all of your goats. They're adorable! I think the little round ones might actually be my favorite, so cute.

That pause at the end and then bye..... 😅😮😅😅😅😅love it

Hey, i truly love your content, but i have to correct you. We've had goats for over 30 years and all goats are born with horns. If they don't have them then they have been disbudded. In plushie land if you don't put horns on, most people wont think its a goat. If you finish the Madeline Mako pattern with her horns, your first one will look like a goat. ❤

would you be willing/able to do a video about the admin side of prepping for a market? I love the patterns that you use and get great ideas, but I am struggling with how to best prepare for a market on the admin side of things. Thank you!

Omg how do we get some of those beautiful safety eyes?!?! 😍🤩😍

Omg I need the black goat!!!❤❤❤

that last goat is so adorable!! and love the flower and leaves in the eyes too, could I ask what size eyes you used on it? also a bit unfortunate about the pattern having errors because I need to go make one for myself!

Omg my son loves to do the same things with the safety eyes. He likes sticking them into the plushie too😅

Love your videos. Where do you get the white eyes.

adorable plushies !! also we def need a goat festival in arkansas ... it sounds like a lot of fun 🤣🤣

I love your goats!!! 😍

The goats you made are so cute! ❤

I make custom goats all the time for my shop. (Though I have never made one in chenille yarn) I think adding a neck helps it to look more like a goat and less like a sheep. I maybe need to come out with a goat pattern soon. That last one was super cute! I love the colors. I also love all your fun eyes!

I Love the black goat 🐐 That's a wonderful story of how these towns use goats to clear the overgrown dry areas, it's so important

Your black goat is your best goat, in my opinion. If youtube then k&s get out channel has lots of goats to see. You can observe their actions, head tilts, stances and inter actions together. Hope it helps. You can also see horn styles❤❤

If yarn has alot of yarn dust then we and the kids are breathing it in. I wouldn't like that yarn either but the cow looks cute . Everything is cute 🥰

Yayy another video!! You made my day ❤

Omgeee those pigs, goats and that cow. The highland cow is my favorite animal. Im in love

I love the big goats!! And a watermelon eating contest sounds really interesting!

I love that you educate about wildlife & environmental stuff 💙🩵🤍
