Welcome to ep 25 of The Crochet Authority pod!! Obviously we love crocheting and knitting, but there are sooooo many other gorgeous and amazing hobbies that we would love to try if we had the time!

Welcome to ep 22 of The Crochet Authority pod!! Today we are chatting about the online marketplace, Etsy. Marketed as a place for artists to sell their goods to a larger audience, it seems like the best place to buy and sell your handmade or vintage goods. But the platform has changed a lot in recent years, largely for the worse. We dive deep into all things Etsy, and how we feel about a platform we should all be loving.

Welcome to ep 21 of The Crochet Authority pod!! Burnout is an inevitable experience for an artist of any level.

Welcome to ep 19 of The Crochet Authority pod!! Today we are chatting all things Pinterest. We do love the platform, don't get us wrong.

We discuss it all in this ep!
