Killer stuff, wolf! I love the moose button, love it!!

I wish I knew how to do that stuff. It must be really soothing.

I do find crochet to be very meditative. Depending on the pattern you can almost go on autopilot, at least for good bits of the time.

Did somebody say "afghans?"

I think I'm missing some, but I have no idea where momwolf might have hid them, and she's not talking. Of course there is always the possibility that she gave them as gifts without asking me (happened more than once) and there are uncounted numbers of baby blankets and wedding afghans and emergency birthday gifts that I do remember.

The "Christmas Afghan," the red and green one is a true double sided afghan ... green and red on one side, red and green on the other. There are two mile-a-minutes in there, and two ripples, one granny.

Oh, and one of those is knitted rather than crocheted ... the red, white, blue, and aqua one.

They are beautiful! You really do nice work.

Set up a site and get to selling your wares young lady!

My grandmother did it for years after her legs gave out and she did pretty darn well at it.

Serious question. How much would a hooded shawl go for?

wolf · 05-28-2011, 04:49 PM

It really depends on the complexity of the design. 5-8x materials cost wouldn't be unusual, if you want a really rough estimate.

Lola Bunny · 05-28-2011, 05:53 PM

What I'm really trying to ask is how much would you charge to make me a hooded shawl.

I don't really need anything fancy. I want something thin enough to use to protect me from the a/c air that blows right at me.

wolf · 05-28-2011, 06:10 PM

I'll be honest in that I don't have any hooded shawl patterns, just shawls and scarves.

Lola - this is just the sort of project you need to start you on a lifetime of crochet (or knitting). There are loads of resources on youtube to get you started. And just think how cool it'd be to say "I made it myself" to your cow-orkers!!

Lil' Pete is about 1' into a 10' Dr. Who scarf.

I have a Doctor-sized scarf, but it's not in the official color scheme, because I couldn't be bothered to search them all down or pay attention to the striping pattern.

Mine is in black and cream.
