I don’t usually comment on the clothing posts, but had to here. $78 dollars for a sweater that looks like grandma made it? Wow…

Guess I was fashionable for “free” back when I was a kid.

Leslie, you weren’t fashionable for “free” when you were a kid. The yarn must be bought, and while your mother or grandmother or other close relative may have worked for “free”, no one else will. Just reading the description, I would say that the material was at least $30 for her size, add to that the production cost (can’t see if it’s had or machine knitted, but just the hand blocking does take a fair bit of work), distribution, marketing and sale, I would say that $78 is reasonable, though way out of my price range.

As an avid knitter it really bugs me when people think of hand knitted as “for free”, sure, you can get away with quite low costs buy re-using yarn or buying on sales or buying cheap qualities, but the work is still the same, a pair of baby booties take me about 4-5 hours, a patterened sweater for a 2 year old takes considerably longer.
