Week of Crochet - Pattern Testing, Market Prepping and More! Crochet with Me!

Successful crochet business owners prepare for markets by creating multiple items of each design, modifying patterns to suit their style, and testing new patterns through group make-alongs. Shannon demonstrates this by making hatching chicks, elephants, tigers, and dinosaurs for her July 18th market, while also testing the CC Handmade Hugs Biggy Zoo Crew pattern for Merrell Sheep. She emphasizes that market preparation involves both creative production and strategic planning, including creating mystery items for quick sales and adapting patterns like the mallard duck to her preferences.
