I learned to be tough about my pricing from my mom who did the craft fair scene for years (she made personalized christmas socks - all quilted and appliqued), baby stuff (like bibs and towels and whatnot) and all kinds of really beautiful knick-knacks. She always said that you should charge what you think it is worth PLUS 20%.

she was always really awesome to her customers but would politely take NO CRAP from people who said they could get "the same thing" for less.

Also, my boyfriend is a webpage designer. He has been instructed (after being far too generous a few times) that he should charge what he thinks he deserves TIMES THREE!

never sell yourself short.

yeah i also want to make something really cool. actually i want to make 4 cool things.

one for my mom.
one for my boyfriend of 4 and a half years' mom.
one for my grandmother who will be spending her first mother's day without a husband.
one for my other grandmother who is 89.

any help?

they are all awesome ladies and 3 of them are pretty hip and feministic.
my 89 year old nan is not...but come on! shes EIGHTY NINE!

That is amazing!
Wow....and thanks to your grandfather.
My grandfather also served, although only in WWII.

The poem is by John McCrae, a Canadian who served in WWI.

i love your sound of music dress, it is amazing.

this is a great idea, my border terrier named abbey loves squeeky toys. so this would be perfect!
Thanks!

thank you!

Hi!
I'm making Jesse's Flames and I just got past the red line on the front.

I'm a bit confused about the EOR part once I switch back to the black.

When it says to decrease EOR does it mean to decrease on every knit row....or on every other knit row?

Help please!

once i get home and can buy some yarn, i'd LOVE to join this KAL....i am in love with this sweater. ^_^

i've only ever spun on a replica 18th century drop spindle. good times. i was very proud of myself because i made fingering weight yarn on my first try.

i'd love to learn some techniques from this forum. NEAT!
