Balancing Crochet Business & Mom Life: Emily Makes Crochet Story + Beginner Crochet Inspiration

Today, I’m joined by the lovely Emily, the creative heart behind Emily Makes Crochet . Emily has been crocheting since she was just 12 years old, and now, as a busy mom of two girls, she’s balancing family life, part-time work at a ceramic shop, and her thriving crochet business. In this conversation, Emily opens up about how crochet has brought her joy through every season of life—whether it’s during carpool lines, late-night stitches, or creating new designs that bring her community together. We talk about her journey from hobby to business, the challenges and wins of running a creative brand while raising kids, and the way her online community has supported and inspired her along the way. Emily’s story is such a reminder that creativity doesn’t have to wait for the perfect season—it can weave itself beautifully into our everyday lives. If you’re looking for encouragement to chase your creative spark (even in the middle of a busy schedule), you’ll love this conversation. ✨ Check out Emily’s Daisy Pop Pattern 🌐 Visit her website 📸 Follow her on Instagram For a deeper dive into growing your handmade business, check out my new book, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hooked on Growth ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , which goes into much more detail on scaling! 🔆 ⁠⁠ Join Our Skool Community 🔆 ⁠⁠ Join The Next Crochet Kit Club ⁠⁠ 🔆 ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Learn to Crochet Course⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 🔆 ⁠⁠ Shop My Crochet Patterns⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 🔆 ⁠⁠ Grab The Crochet Snuggle Buddies Pattern Book ⁠ 🧶 ⁠ Grab Some Crochet Merch 🧶 ⁠Grab The FREE Donkey Pattern⁠⁠
