    You are right it is hard to believe my story would be interesting to others. I joe I have the hustle to start my own yarn business.

  2. Teresa Janecek says:

    I’ve been crocheting for years… I’d love to make money with it. It seems as though I might need to hustle more!

  3. Christy Gabany says:

    It cracked me up when Jess said, “She came to crochting later than everyone she talks to, it was around 15 or 16 years old.” Funny… I started crocheting three ythree years ago when I was 38. I really need to hustle.

  4. Regina S says:

    Fabulous podcast, thanks! My son keeps trying to get me into the business side of crafting. I don’t know that I am quite ready for the hustle and bustle it takes to be successful, but I definitely can appreciate you crafters that are successful. Good luck, and thanks for the support.
