Finishing the Hat [Knitting Commissions!]
13 years ago
A world that loves it's irony...
Greetings, you all! So I'm deciding to take a few commissions right now, as I am both in need of a little bit of extra income, and I really am bored not having any knitting to do (this is a sign of addiction, right?). So, general guidelines:
1. This is for hats only. Hats are quick turn-around for me, so I won't be sitting here spending years on your commission. I already have a big knitting commission from someone else, so i want something I can supplement time with if I need to take a break from that one.
2. Pattern: Hat patterns are pretty easy and mutable, so feel free to describe to me what you want, and we can work on something that'll make us both happy. I will say, if you want stripes, they will need to be horizontal because I am not comfortable enough with the knitting techniques needed to do vertical stripes yet. Aside from colour, the actual knitting pattern can be discussed as well, as those are pretty easy, too (and there are tons of pattern resources online).
3. Pricing: All hats start at $20, but if you want multiple colours the price may rise depending on projected cost of materials. No hat will go above $50, and that would only be for one with a massive number of colours.
4. Payment: The way I do commissions, I would like the money for materials (yarn) up-front, and you will pay the rest upon my completion. I will do my best to post progress pictures every so often so no one is left in the dark.
I don't want to open up too many slots right now because it's not as fast as drawing sketches, but I'm willing to open up five (the starry-eyed dreamer I am). Keep in mind, the first commissioner will have their hat worked on first...obviously.
Err...so...I guess, open for business!

I realise, not the best pictures, but I promise all the hats I've made for folks have been absolutely loved...but it is my word against no one's.
