People often ask if they can pay me to crochet a blanket for them [View all]

(I got to thinking about the question this morning as it took me 2 hours to complete ONE row of the border of the blanket I am currently making.)

So the answer is: "Sure, but I don't think you'll want to come up with that much money for a blanket."

I've got 70 hrs into my current project. At the uber-low rate of $4/hour, we're looking at close to $300 for labor alone.

When I bring this sort of math into the equation, it's a real eye-opener for some people

I have no problem w/ giving my work as a gift. People who know me understand how much of my time (and HEART) go into it.
