Great article. Reading through it it is how I price. I have been crocheting for nearly 52 years and I see so many people pricing like it’s Walmart. I have a local gal pricing hats for $8 when I can sell for $15-18.
We need to stop selling our work for pennies and get serious if we want people to take our art seriously.
I’m sure this will be helpful for many!
Yea, they can get a knit beanie from the store, but have you looked at the prices lately? Everything is costing more!
I saw a beanie, not fancy at Wal mart for $10 have you ever worn one of the cheap ones?
Our stuff is and should be priced as if in a boutique shop. If the item is perfect or nearly perfect.
Thank you for this!
Loved this article! A great read. With crochet and knitting getting more popular recently, I find it so frustrating when you go into a shop and see a crochet top selling for €20 when you know it costs way more than that to make ( and it’s not even made properly) knitting can be done by a machine, to a degree but crochet is 100% handmade and to see cheaply made items selling in shops for “fast fashion” just really irritates me! Sorry for the long rant 
There has been longer rants than yours! We got to discussing this issue quite a bit last year when a SHEIN was selling crochet clothes.
It’s so frustrating isn’t it!!
Thank you for sharing. I just did a craft fair and there were a lot of crochet booths. Most were priced low. Frustrating.
