Prepping for the on June 13th by making sure I time myself for accurate pricing!

Curious how others crochet makers price their items? I charge an hourly rate, factor in materials fee, and then usually mark it up about 50% to try and make some sort of living, lol.

Ex. 17/hr x 2.36 + 5 x 1.5 = 67.68 so this guy will be priced at 67 (I do also factor in location of market, so am slightly flexible when it comes to these bigger items, as in pricing down if needed)

Would love some feedback!

June 13th! See you there!

"I enjoy spreading joy, I love seeing kids and adults alike smiling at my makes. I like to make a Michigan connection with many of my original animal creations. I also love to give my animals mini-bios and likes/dislikes. Another item I make are TNR (trap neuter return) cats and proceeds go to a local cat rescue." - Megan Kraft

Find E. Maple Handmade at the Berkley Art Bash on Saturday, June 13.

Inside my brain is a fun space, not a safe space.

(crochet is for cool people only)

Cary Rabbit is live on Ravelry - coming soon to Etsy. Maybe?

No fanfare, no countdowns, just me forgetting and putting it off for weeks. Burnt out from AI and other creators who release patterns that are just copies of someone else’s.

I just kept thinking, who are you doing this for? The 11 people who might buy it?
Well, yeah. Yup.

But mostly for me, to say I did it. I made this.

So, if you’re out here, making art and showing the world, then this one’s for you.

Get cozy and crochet a vintage granny square with Moe and me. - from a book my grandma gave me years ago.
Except that’s not exactly what happens.

Happy New Year, friends.
