This is actual so raw , real and total inspiration to anyone who is thinking of branching out of their normal gig to do something they are passionate about!!! The beginning of the video with your wetland walk is the REASON WHY I MISS CANADA sooooo much. Red Wing Black Birds song…been in the south in the states for 7 years now…missing my fav bird. Thank you for sharing your experiance…i know this will help a ton of folks !

Congratulations on getting started. You’re off to a great start. If you ever need a tester I would love to do that. I’ve been a crocheter for 52 years, and I think more guys should get into crafts. In Germany it is mandatory for both genders to learn to crochet, knit, sew and other crafty things.

@@KnottyBearCrochet I listen to Chappell every morning starting with GLB. It’s 100% my song of the summer! Btw, I was going to comment this after finishing the video, but since I’m back on YT I’ll say it now. You’re not a bad KZfaqr if you’re not replying to all the comments, in fact I think maybe it’s a sign that you’re a good one because you’re too busy! But in case it helps to have permission-tho you don’t need that from anybody, but if you happen to be Neurodivergent at all like me, might help to hear. But seriously, it’s totally ok to only reply to a few or none at all, or just the ones that feel useful, fun or relevant to do so. We don’t want you to get too overwhelmed with everything you’re trying to accomplish because you’re lovely and we want you on the internet one way or another! So pace yourself and thank you for showing your vulnerability and the baby steps along the way! It’s really helping me, I’ve been afraid of starting my crochet biz since I had the idea in 2020, and also still afraid to start a channel. But your first video was so honest, and lovely for me to see the early stages, makes it a bit less scary. 🥰 I’m definitely more inspired to take the plunge today than ever after seeing your first 2 videos. So Good Luck Babe! I’ll be watching and shopping the store!
