Some people say oh I can buy it cheaper at the store. While that may be true the workmanship and the quality of fabric and work is no where near the store's. I want to make a King Wedding Ring and the fabric I want is going to cost me a bit. I saw one at a store and the fabric was like a gauze fabric not anywhere near the beautful fabrics we can buy but I also know from all the crocheting I have done and sold people want it for nothing. Most people don't realize the cost of materials and the number of hrs put into these crafts & such. I have also told someone a price for something and I didn't even price it as high as I should have and they say oh I'll let you know. I make mostly everything for gifts or for charity. Sometimes people really need what I have so I would rather give it away to someone who will really appreciate it. Interesting topic. Thanks. Sue
