In this video I’m recapping my biggest market event so far—CollectFest—where I took a table full of my crochet plushies and put my selling skills to the test. I chat through what the day was like, what I brought along, and the reality of doing a huge event (the busy rushes, the little surprises, and how different it feels compared to smaller markets). If you’ve ever wondered what it’s actually like to sell crochet in person, this one’s a real behind-the-scenes recap. I also answer the big question: how much money I made at the event. I mention a couple of extra makes that sold too—a Bee Bear and a clam with an opal in it—because those little one-off items definitely matter when you’re tallying up your total. If you’re thinking about doing markets yourself, my biggest takeaway is to plan for variety, be ready for a big crowd, and remember that every sale (even the unexpected ones) adds up. I also link a few related videos if you want more of the lead-up and extra context.
