Hey crochet designer friend! 

How are you doing? I hope you are well.

I've been so busy with getting everything ready for the challenge to find your unique crochet design style and The Immersive (my new program for designers who want to finally earn back their crochet design time), so I actually didn't plan on this episode. 

But because I've been talking a lot about having a unique crochet design style, I received some remarks and questions that I want to clarify. 

In this episode I adress the most common misconceptions around having a unique crochet design style: 

• Having a style is like putting myself in a box 
• Having just one style sounds boring 
• A unique design is something that's very complicated and screams attention and that simply isn't me
  
  

Among other things <3

Hey crochet designer friend! 

How are you doing? I hope you are well.

As a beginning crochet designer, I struggled a lot with finding my voice. And as a result, other crocheters didn't make my designs. And this stung a bit, because even though it was just a hobby of mine, it took a lot of time and energy to design something from scratch and write down the pattern...

I mean, as crochet designers (or aspiring ones), there's nothing more special than scrolling through Instagram and seeing a design of yours made by someone else! I cannot tell you how amazing that felt when it happened to me the first time (and still feels, btw)

And, as crochet designers, is this not what we are all looking for? 

Imagine how amazing it would feel if someone would create what you have come up with and even tell you what a joy it was to make… 

This, to me, is what it’s all about. Giving the joy of creating to others and sharing something you love.  

Looking back, I can totally see why my crochet design journey was going nowhere and I am sharing it with you in today's podcast episode! 

And I wouldn’t be me if I also would not share what got me my big breakthrough as a crochet designer and how we can get yours too :)

Hey crochet designer! 

How are you, I hope you are doing great! 

In today's episode, I am sharing something that a lot of designers keep to themselves and a lot of people are so curious about: What does a crochet designer actually make??? 

A few weeks ago I shared on Instagram that my 2024 gross profit doubled vs 2023 and I also asked you if I should do this episode, and it was a resounding YES!

So here you go 🙂

Next to sharing the nitty gritty details of my own pattern sales (I do share truthful details, high and low) I also share what really is important when you want to release designs year after year (spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with sales whatsoever). 

And I also share what has caused my own shift in my crochet design journey and how I can help you get there as well (super excited about this!)

Because I would love it for you if you could experience your own breakthrough in 2025. 

You can find episode 25 here 

Love

Christina 

PS: After the episode, let me know your thoughts on this episode. Do you struggle to get the sales you want right now? I love to connect and root you on from the sidelines ❤️

In this episode, I challenge the 'instant gratification' mindset that's taken over our creative spaces and share my goals for 2025, (which I'd encourage you to incorporate into your vision as well). 

Instead of rushing to release more designs in 2025, I explain why focusing on quality over quantity is the key to growth. Learn why taking time with your crochet designs can lead to better results and greater satisfaction.

The next episode of The Mind of the Crochet Designer is now out and this week I'm talking about my journey from part-time to full-time crochet designer!

I want to point to some truths that a lot of other designers are not talking about. 

In this episode I cover why it's not always a good idea to 'turn your passion into profits'. 

And of course I wouldn't be me, if I would not also give you my best advice around what you definitely want to do when you are thinking of designing full time. 

Because I want nothing more for you than you to be able to follow your dream. 

Click the link below and join me with a cup of something cosy and your current WIP.

PS: I love to connect! So after the episode, let me know your thoughts on this by sending me an email or leaving a review.

How were the holidays for you? I don't know about you, but I just love the Christmas holidays.
 
I always come back a different person. Being able to fully relax and connect back to myself and my fam. To also really disconnect from the day-to-day and all of those to-do lists that come with that.
 
So maybe not a different person, just a person that's closer to her true nature.
 
I just released a new podcast episode that I'm really excited to share with you.

Because I did  A LOT of reflecting, journalling and envisioning (is that even a verb?) and I have made a drastic decision that will impact how I will move forward with Christina Crochet Coach.

PS: I love to connect! So after the episode, let me know your thoughts on this.

In this episode, I open up about my journey with hosting crochet-alongs, including some hard lessons I learned when I first started.

I just wrapped up hosting my 8-week "Overstory" crochet-along, and the experience was absolutely amazing. It got me thinking about how crochet-alongs have completely transformed my design journey, and they might do the same for you. The mistakes I made in my first CAL taught me so much, and now I want to share these lessons with you. 

This episode is perfect for you if:

• You're a crochet designer (or thinking about becoming one)
• You want to build a stronger connection with your crochet community
• You're looking for ways to grow your following and pattern sales
• You're interested in hosting your own crochet-along but feeling unsure about where to start
• You want to create events that people actually look forward to joining

I share some of my best practices for hosting successful crochet-alongs, and I've got a special surprise for my listeners - but you'll have to tune in to find out what it is! 

One thing I will say: there's a lot more to hosting a great crochet-along than just cutting up a pattern into pieces and slapping a discount on it. I'll tell you why, and what you should do instead.

Grab your favorite WIP (work in progress), your beverage of choice, and join me for this relaxed but information-packed episode.

Are you a designer who creates beautiful patterns but feels weird about telling people about them. You know what I mean... that icky feeling when you have to "sell" your work?

I get it. I used to be exactly the same way. But here's the thing - I discovered something that completely changed how I think about pattern promotion, and I HAD to share it with you in this new podcast episode.

This episode is perfect for you if:

• You feel guilty or "sleazy" when promoting your designs
• You're tired of posting your work and hearing crickets
• You worry about annoying your followers
• You're starting from zero and feeling overwhelmed
• You give away all your behind-the-scenes content too early
• You've ever felt like you're "pushing" your patterns on people

In this episode, I reveal:

• The biggest mistake most designers make when promoting their work (I was shocked when I realized I was doing this!)
• A completely different way to think about promotion that actually feels good
• My six-step method for sharing your work authentically
• The secret to making people naturally curious about your designs

Plus, I share a story about how changing one simple thing in my promotion strategy led to a complete mindset shift (and better sales!)

I recently had an amazing talk with Jayresa from Crochepeutic, it was so inspiring and I had so many aha's the weekend after... It was just magical! This is a must listen! 

This episode is for:

1. Crocheters looking to turn their hobby into a business
2. Anyone feeling lonely or disconnected and seeking community
3. People interested in using crafts to improve their mental health
4. Social media newbies wanting to grow their following

If you've ever felt stuck in your crochet journey or if you feel lonely and wonder how to make real connections in the craft world, you'll want to hear Jayresa's story. She shares some surprising insights about building a community and growing a business that might just change how you think about crochet!

What I found really interesting was how crochet helped Jayresa manage her depression. She used it as a way to connect with others and feel like she belonged somewhere. This led her to create Crochepeutic, which is all about building a community for crocheters. 

PLUS if you want to learn how to grow your social media super fast, we talk about exactly what she did to go from 73 followers at the beginning of 2024 to over 42K right now! Hint: it's not creating posts every day or making your reels go viral ;)
