    I'd like to see an example of the hose themselves and know what yarns they are knitted from. The cost of materials could add considerably to that figure. I do like the color of that set you show there. I would like to have a pair of hose knit in that color. O'Neille

    What she did with these, as with most things, was direct the person to a yarn site, tell them to pick a yarn they liked and buy as much as they'd need and have it shipped to her. (For that set it was 6 balls of cashmere/merino at like $6 a ball as the scarf was 6 feet long)
    Then she just tries to charge reasonably for her time.

    She really just likes to knit and isn't too terribly concerned with huge profits.
    I'm getting a lot of good info here, so maybe she'll charge more.
