How does this work?

I do a couture/custom business.  The items I make are usually designed or created with a client in mind that has been requested by the client.  I have started to do some stock items-  Check out my online store!

First and foremost-

I love to crochet.  I love to make items for people, and I love to see my items being worn and used.  I still get a thrill when I see some wearing one of my scarves, shawls or throws.  I have been doing a lot of design work, and you can find my patterns in my online store.

Delivery Time-

Because I am one person with a day job, I can only work on my items in the evenings and weekends.  My turn around time can be as little as 2 weeks, or as long as 3 months.  It depends on the item, yarn availability, and how many projects I have on order. 

Its about personal design-

I like to create items for the person specifically. Together we figure it out.  Whether it is a poncho, scarf, shawl.  It is a personal item.

Once a piece is decided, color and yarn are the next up for figuring.  

Next is pricing- the sordid topic of coin…

Hand made items can be very expensive.  Crochet is not something that can be duplicated by machine, as knitting can.  So anything you see crocheted, was done, by hand.  I charge for production costs, and a small labor fee.  If I design the piece especially for the client, there is a fee for the design phase.  I keep my items priced WELL within everyday budgets.  I prefer to see someone wearing my item, than to have it sitting on a mannequin because it was too expensive.
