In this very inspiring episode I interview Mimi about her own crochet design journey!

What's in the episode? 

• Mimi’s Journey: Discover how Mimi got into crochet designing and teaching others to crochet with her own patterns during the COVID pandemic.
• The Power of Community: Learn why real-life connections and community will always trump getting your reels to go viral.
• What to do when losing your crojo: How Mimi almost gave up crochet designing for the year and what got her unstuck. 
• We answer the question so many beginner designers struggle with: Are simple and easy designs less valuable than really complicated ones? 
• Follow Your Dreams: Hear Mimi’s advice on why following your own crochet design dream is more rewarding than looking at what others are doing. 

Why You Should Listen:

Mimi’s story is not just about crochet; it's about resilience, how we all need people rooting for our dreams and the importance of staying true to yourself. Whether you're a seasoned designer or just starting out, I am sure this interview will inspire you.

In the latest episode of the Mind of the Crochet Designer podcast, I delve into a topic that I feel isn't spoken about enough: maintaining a social media presence as an introvert. Recording this got me rather emotional and I hope it will help those of you that feel like the fact that you 'need to be on social media' is keeping them back from following their crochet design dream. 

As crochet enthusiasts, can we admit that we are genetically at least 1/3rd part hermit? Haha. So how can we honour that? Let's dive into this topic together with the latest episode.

Have you ever felt like you're shouting into the void on social media, struggling to get your patterns seen? You're not alone. In the latest episode of the Mind of the Crochet Designer podcast, I share strategies to boost your visibility, even if you don't have a huge following (yet).

This is a great episode if you're at the beginning stages of your crochet design journey, if you feel like crochet designing isn't going to be worth your time, because you don't have a huge social media following yet or if you want to grow your audience without depending on your reels going viral.

Hi Creative and Beautiful Soul,

I'm excited to share the first episode of the Mind of the Crochet Designer podcast with you! In this episode, we dive deep into a kind of taboo topic for aspiring crochet designers: the fear of copying other designers. Here are the biggest headlines and key takeaways from this episode.

1. Addressing the Fear of Copying: Why so many (aspiring) designers have this fear, what's actually behind this fear and the most effective ways on how to let it go. 
2. Understanding the difference between inspiration and copying and why it's normal to copy others. 
3. My personal experience with copying: How I've been called a copycat and how I responded to that. 
4. Handling Legal Concerns: The irrational fear of lawsuits and the importance of common sense.
