Niche Crochet Podcast - Awesome, Personable Resource!
I was introduced to the crochet craft through an in-person crochet class series I sought out in my local community about a year and a half ago. Over time, I've learned how to single, half double, and double crochet, among various other stitches (I'm always learning more of the countless ones out there). I've made granny squares, scarves, hats, baby booties, and most recently started my first longer-term project (a toddler blanket). I've done all of this without patterns and/or watching video tutorials and following the steps. I'm currently in the midst of a six-week stay pet-sitting in the UK (I live in CA in the US), and I had found a local yarn store and was inspired. Wanting to listen to a podcast about crochet while crocheting, I searched iTunes and few applicable results came up. I listened to part of one other podcast's episode and it just didn't hold my interest. I came across Brittany's, committed to listening to one full episode, and I was "hooked" (yes, pun intended please)! I've essentially binge-listened from the beginning all the way through her most recently posted episode over the past couple of weeks. Her approach, personality, and style truly resonate with me; not only is she personable and likable, but she really takes the time to break down and explain quite a bit of crochet craft terminology, processes, and techniques while encouraging her audience to be confident, to just try and that failure will only help us learn and grow more! She discusses topics that she thinks will be relevant for her listeners, recognizing we are an audience of all-levels with varying crochet interests (e.g. hobbiest vs. career) that may expand into other areas at some point (e.g. someone who is soley a seller at craft fairs could someday want to become a designer, teach others how to crochet, or write a book, and therefore provides the tools on the show to educate everyone on how to going about doing so). Although I'm still a newbie to this craft, I feel like I am aware of what my potential options are as I continue to learn and grow in my skill set. I took away so much from her multi-episode pattern-reading series and put many of her suggestions into practice, and they worked! Although I am a visual and tactile learner, I see why it is important to be able to read a pattern and am shifting my mindset to think of video tutorials as supplements to written patterns (she convinced me)! I feel like I now know so much more about the industry through the various guests she's brought onto the show, and wanting to garner more inspiration, I've started following many of them on social media and have checked out a couple of their websites, too. What I really like about Brittany is her "collaboration over competition" attitude as a member of the crochet community, and she proves she means it by inviting all of these peers of hers who she admires or considers to be experts in their area of specialization to personally learn from them as well as providing the opportunity for her listeners to join her in doing so. This positive approach can apply to whatever industry you're a part of (I know it applies to mine as a fitness instructor/trainer)! As a small business owner myself in a different industry, I've found a lot of the information she's covered to be applicable to operating whatever independent business one might have (i.e. not just a craft like crochet). Overall, I am grateful for Brittany's podcast as a resource that I don't believe is out there already, one that she saw a need for and created it: I think she's found her niche! I'll certainly continue listening and look forward to what Brittany and her guests will teach me to help me grow in my skill set, experience, and confidence with crochet over time. THANK YOU SO MUCH, BRITTANY -- KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!! :)Read full review »
