In this video, I want to explain why I made the decision to lower prices in my Etsy shop. This wasn’t a quick or easy decision, and it came after a lot of thought about accessibility, fairness, and the current realities many of us are facing. I share my reasoning behind this change, how it affects my work, and what it means for my patterns going forward. I also talk about my values as a small business owner, my relationship with this community, and why it’s important to me that my patterns remain approachable and affordable, while still allowing me to continue creating and supporting myself financially long-term. Thank you so much for being here, for supporting my work, and for being part of this journey with me. I truly appreciate every view, comment, purchase, and kind message. 🧶💛 💖 Support my work & find my patterns: Etsy shop: https://olgapoltava.etsy.com Ravelry shop: https://www.ravelry.com/stores/olga-poltava-designs Ko-fi page: https://ko-fi.com/R6R6155UZ #crochet #OlgaPoltava #crochetbusiness
