Dragons, Sale Dates, and Growing your Fan Base with Misha of Amazing Hats UK | CCs01e08
Description
It was such a joy to meet and interview Monique Misha Wiles of Amazing Hats UK, who makes cute little dragons, rats, and hats! She crochets them as small as 1" high often using hand-dyed thread by Sophie Abell of The Stitchy Ferret, who I must thank for connecting Monique and me.
Monique has been crocheting for 20 years and started her business in 2010 making hats. She then branched into dolls, and now mainly makes dragons. It's a niche market, but she loves that what she makes brings joy to people. Her enthusiastic fans/friends inspire her and motivate her to keep doing what she does.
We chatted over a mocktail Tequila Sunrise about business, making, and ourselves. Grab your own drink and listen now!
Highlights in this episode include:
- Misha's journey through hats, dolls, and dragons
