Crochet Planner Release

Posted on September 11, 2019October 14, 2019 by kmariecrafts

As I picked up one of my WIPs only to realize I couldn’t remember what row I was on, what hook I was using and even what pattern I was following, I complained to my husband and he said “I’ve been telling you, you need to write this down.” I said “I know….” and proceeded to compare photos in patterns to my work asking him “do you think this is it??!” To which he again said “WRITE IT DOWN!” How many of you have been here?

So after this whole ordeal, I wrote down the info and finished my piece. But then I got out my laptop and started playing with a WIP tracker worksheet. Before I knew it, I was creating other pages, soliciting advice from other crocheters and building a full-on crochet planner. Over 27 pages of planner goodness tailed to crocheting, say what!?!?!

Introducing the K Marie Crafts Crochet Planner! Available now in my shop for download. You can print as many pages as you’d like, and refill your planner as you use pages.

I have so many favorite pages in this thing, that I could probably write the worlds longest blog post by going through each one… but I’ll spare you that and just highlight some of my favs!

First up, the Projects/WIPs pages. I did two of these–one simple one to list out the WIPs and then another, more detailed page. This is what I started with to solve my WIP problem I mentioned earlier. The pages allow you to list out your projects quickly and jot down the yarn you’re using, the last row you worked and the hook size.

If you want a few more details, you can use the projects page to track as well!

A small section of the planner is devoted to your crochet business. I realize not everyone has a business, but some may just crochet as a hobby. So I created a mini planner without all the business stuff just for you! This just contains the stuff to track your current WIPs, yarn stash, favorite patterns, etc.

But for those of you with a crochet biz, there are some templates for you! A custom order form, market tracker and inventory sheet all help you keep your business organized!

For some, pattern writing is a part of their business, and I wanted to have a place to keep notes on patterns that are in the works, the folks testing my patterns, and just a general brain dump page.

There are so many pages to this thing that I haven’t covered, including yarn stash tracking, hook inventory, and favorite patterns lists. I simply can’t list them all! Be sure to head over to my Etsy shop and grab your digital download! I’d love to see your planners in use–tag me on Instagram in your planner photos #kmariecrafts or @k.mariecrafts

Instagram post 2194746288959147653_8020365981 One of my favorite things to crochet are housewares. Don’t get me wrong, hats and scarves are fantastic, but everyday household items just make me happy. •
This was my first attempt at the #daybreaktrivet and although not perfect, I am happy with how it turned out! I can’t wait to make more and get the hang of this stitch so I can list these in the shop!

Instagram post 2163992023894619197_8020365981 Thanks to my dear friend @sarbearbarber I was inspired to make some pillows. So this weekend I pulled out my favorite color Yarn and started on this round pillow. I can’t wait to finish, but here’s a sneak peak at the start. Doilies and bobbles to come on this. I hope it turns out like the picture I have in my head! •

I’m new to this blogging thing, but it’s a work in progress. Since it’s getting to be that time of year when we start thinking about gifts for friends and family or thinking of our own wish lists. I decided to put together a list of some of my favorites, including a few items from fellow makers like @happy.hooker.shop and @acraftyconcept •
•
Take a look and you I hope you find something to add to your list or something to buy one of the #makers in your life! Link to my blog is in my bio ⬆️

Instagram post 2151813311191562109_8020365981 This list just keeps growing. Between preparing for markets and craft shows and fulfilling orders, I haven’t gotten to tackle these yet. I’ll be adding a few others to this list that I’ve saved. •

This is one page from the #crochetplanner that you can download from my etsy shop! •

What’s on your someday list?
Instagram post 2149652601812415426_8020365981 A little look at how I use the Market Notes page from the #crochetplanner •
•
It helps me when considering what markets to do to be able to go back and look at what was most successful previously. It always helps with market prep. Like at this one, I know pumpkins were popular. •
•
How do you keep track of everything? Right now, you can try your chance at winning a copy of the crochet planner with @ltkcuties 6k giveaway!! Winner will be announced Sunday. If you aren’t the lucky winner, you can always grab a copy in my Etsy shop! Good luck!!! 🍀 •
