Pickle Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 About 5 hours to knit one of the vests, so I pretty much do it for the love of it, and not to make my millions!

cuppa tea Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Beautiful! i think you possibly need to charge more too. I bought a baby wool hat from Partridges (when it was open) for ?15...and these are much nicer.

alethea Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hi there, I totally agree with bluesuperted, I think your prices are too cheap excluding the cost of the wool, its working out about ?2.00p/h and I know from my mum knitting things that the time it takes to sew them up is not quick. Having done market stalls in my time and about to embark again!! if you sell a few one week, then the pressure is on to then make more to sell the following week, it soon gets quite tiring.Good luck though, I love handknitted items although I have kept shrinking my mums in the wash which I have been feeling very guilty about.Ax Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16917-opinions-needed-please/page/2/#findComment-431590 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoopyMum Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 They are fabulous Pickle ! I will also add - don't undercharge you must factor in the hours you are putting in, I make celebration cakes and have figured out that although I quote different prices dependent on size funnily enough the same amount of hours go into each creation because of the high level of decoration required. Good luck with the stall and don't undercharge !

Pickle Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Much appreciated ladies, thank you. Mr Pickle has been heard to mutter "if only you hadn't gone on that ?&^%$ knitting course..." many times in the last year, it's all your fault!
