Knitting depression away

People often look at the tags on my handmade goods and declare that my prices are outrageous. I did the math and THIS is what that handmade beanie you want for $10 ACTUALLY cost to make.

So if you see that $30 on the label, be courteous. Know that I am paying myself far, far less than minimum wage in labor ($2.22 per hour, to be exact) to even come to such a supposedly ghastly price. I can't take that $10 for a hat because no one can live on $0.37 an hour, much less sustain a business.

A tip from Futuregirl

I sometimes get messages from people asking me how to do different knitting or crochet things. And I love to help if I can! Don’t get me wrong. But I have a tendency to ignore my Tumblr messages (or Tumblr altogether) for longish stretches of time, so I’m not the best resource if you need an answer right away.

So I’ve compiled a list of places you can look things up. I’ll update as I find more. 

Feel free to comment with suggestions!
