This week I’m sharing a personal story that every knitter might relate to at some point. In this video, I talk about the time I agreed to knit for money and immediately regretted it. From unrealistic expectations to the pressure of turning a passion into a business, I’ll cover it all!
Join me as I unravel the challenges and unexpected hurdles I faced, and find out why this seemingly simple decision (could have) turned into a knitting nightmare. Whether you’re thinking about taking on commissioned projects or just curious about the behind-the-scenes of knitting for others, this video is for you!
