Help with pricing, please?
Sep. 19th, 2010 10:50 pmI suck at pricing so I thought I'd ask y'all what you think I should charge and/or what you'd pay and/or if you'd even bother with something like this from an online shop like Etsy.

( Several large images, with descriptions )
Drawstring bag made from "Marble" yarn, about the size and depth as the hat above but in softer material.
"Mosaic" yarn again on a beanie used on the Knifty Knitter. For this one I used the next bigger loom from the rainbow beanies of the previous post, so this one is kinda big, an adult large I'd guess. It's soft and thick and warm (two-over-two) and the fabric washes well.
Blankie made of nine large granny squares. Will likely wind up cutting the edges off but I liked it at the time. I used red, white, and blue Red Heart Super Saver yarn and white super soft fuzzy yarn (it's practically all you feel!) at the same time. (Yes, Olive, this is the kind I'm sending to you, but I can get the fuzzy white yarn again so I can send you your two and still make lots more.)

Silly Hat! :D
Aug. 12th, 2010 08:12 amThat would be the hat from the other day. I used leftover Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn from the Fizzy Blanket (aka Blankiezilla) (well, the blue isn't but the rest is)...and it came out just a bit too big. ;)
The hat:
And me wearing the silly hat. On the bright side, it's really warm, and the extra size means I can have a ponytail or messy-bun and I don't have to redo my hair (in addition to thermals, jeans, etc., that it takes to go outside when you're a Floridian in a place where it snows) just to go outside.
And since most of the yarn comes from Blankiezilla, it's like having a little bit of Fizzy with me. *is a tooootal sap*
Cross-posted to The Experimental Hooker, my crochet/knitting/crafting blog.
This is a short bit I made before going whole-hog just to make sure I could do it. It takes more strength than using regular yarn, and I'd have to rest my hands more often, but it's totally do-able. :D
And this is how it starts: cut up strips of plastic bags (these are from Wally World, I'll do balls of every color I have--the green Barnes & Noble bags should make nice accents), twist them, knot them. I didn't cut off the extra "yarn" because I thought it'd be a nice accent for...whatever I wind up making.
I'm also making this hat that I found via Ravelry, out of yarn left over from Fizzy's Blankiezilla and from yarn of the same kind (Lion Brand Hometown USA, and there are more colors now! Go out and buy it and make Lion Brand keep stocking it! If you crochet you'll need a K hook. That's usually the gray plastic one.) from another project that never really got started.
I haven't done more on the Book Paring Down Of Doom since my last post, but I do intend to finish it. But even if I keep everything that's currently left, I'll still have made a huge dent. :)
ETA: You can see the Waldo Hat in the corner of that second pic!

One's the Olive Scarf:
One's the base of the skirt I'm flying by the seat of my pants on:
And the other's one I'm just starting now: a Where's Waldo-type hat for my husband, since his co-workers think he looks like Waldo from the books. :P
No pictures of that one yet, but I will once there's something worth photographing.
