A friend of mine knits beautiful baby afghans. And since it is a take along project she got a lot of people asking her to make them one for some reason or another. Barbara makes them for people she knows and loves but when one woman kept after her about it she finally said, "I couldn't do it for any less than $75.00 a blanket." The woman said it sounded fair and gave her a check for 3 of them. It shocked the heck out of Barbara, she said she was happy that she didn't have anyone she was going to make them at the time (just stockpiling a few for when she needed one) so it wasn't a problem. But she said she was nervous because she hadn't sold any before so no one dare criticize her work. (Not that it would happen - she did fantastic work.) That was about 8 years ago, and she only did a few more. She really didn't like doing something she didn't control the size and color.
