Crocheting might look like a cozy hobby, but behind every handmade piece is time, strategy, and a whole lot of decision-making.

In this episode, we sit down with the creator of Yarn Over Hook (YOH) to talk about what it really takes to turn a creative passion into a source of income. From the cost of materials and hours spent on each piece, to pricing, sellingon Etsy, and navigating craft shows, we’re breaking down the business side of handmade goods. We also get into the real questions: Is it actually profitable? What’s worth the time, and what’s not? And how do you balance doing something you love with making sure it pays?

If you’ve ever thought about turning your hobby into a side hustle… this episode is your reality check, in the best way.
