when I was a teenager I used to knit and crochet a lot. I made a really nice flower pattern shawl for my foster mom. A neighbor, who I used to babysit for her kids, saw it and wanted me to make one. Said "she would pay me." -- SHe did, on completion, gave me the money for the yarn. I was too young and shy to speak up for myself. As i recall, used to get $.75 to $1. an hour for babysitting too.
