Counting the costs..
I wish I had enough money to give up working and crochet for a living - much as I stuff up and its annoying occasionally nothing like the stress of being at work.
But and heres the issue:
A 6ft by 4ft blanket, costs only around 14 odd pounds to buy the wool.
However, if you then take into account hours worked, at minimum wage, 5.80 an hour, if I can do one in roughly 2 weeks and the hours Im putting in thats gotta be somewhere around 50-60 hours a week, err thats 290 per blanket, + wool. so, if you say between 300 and 350 pounds, would anyone seriously pay that much for a blanket?? I doubt it..
Thus why I guess I cant ever give up work to crochet.
