I looked at someone's webstore the other day (don't remember the name) and
was amazed to see bookmarks for sale for $10.00 and handmade scarfs with
what they say is expensive yarn also for either $10 (shorter) and $15
(longer). I'm sorry to say that I find that this undervalue's our work. It
must take a while to knit the scarves - ok they aren't very wide but they
are 40+ inches or 70+ inches long, and if the yarn is expensive that doesn't
leave much in their for the time spent. The same with the lace bookmarks.
Supplies virtually $0 but time and expertise $10 for the whole thing.
Sorry - this might spark some bad feelings somewhere - don't mean to upset
folks, but I feel that this doesn't represent the time and effort put into
these items, and is not a realistic price for hand-made items. Have you
tried getting a plumber to your house $45-$50 for them just to turn up
before they even start work or a mechanic to work on your car??
