Why are my crocheted blankets worth their price tag?

Reason #1
Yarn costs are crazy! And my blankets use 5,000- 8,000 yards each!
(That's a cost of at least $120)

Reason #2
The detailing in the patterns I use!
It's currently taking a few hours to complete one row, on this project.

Reason #3
Crocheted items can not be made by machines!
No, you can't buy anything like this at Walmart, for $10!

Do I have any interest in this blanket?
It's an octagon shape, approximately 49" across.
The design (spiders) is in black, the background can be an ombre of your choice.
Finished price will depend on yarns and time/labor. I will estimate around $90-$110.
