Finished Objects and a Question

by The Spinning Guy

There are finished objects, and then there are finished objects.

I’ve been making a lot of these …

… because I’ve been watching the Tour de France and these are much less subject to gage and tension variations than sock knitting. You will remember the embellishments and Tour-related tension issues from this post. The embellishments are proving to be a great mindless project.

I’ve been calling the completed embellishments “finished objects", but I’m not sure they qualify as completed projects.

Here is what Pam (blog not yet released to the public) has done with one of my embellishments.

Now that’s the true finished object.

The crocheted embellishment has been lightly stamped on a stamp pad to give it slight coloration, then used as part of this card.

Thus far, the embellishments have been a hit. I actually have orders for a few. I’m having fun with them, but a question has cropped up. It’s one of the age old dilemmas of craft fairs. The question is …

What are your thoughts on pricing? Can I charge the same for the little ones as for the big ones?

JuneI’d say the prices for little ones should be less than prices for big ones unless you are using fancier yarn for the smaller ones (and explain that to your customers).

I just got a book on crochet motifs (and edgings) - am flipping through it and dreaming of possibilities…
