So true people always want the profit but you who makes the crochet has to lose out if they want to make a living am having this problem in Barbados even by tourists
Actually only a third more (30%) than most knitting. Three times more would mean that a hat (1 skein) would need 3 or 4 skeins to crochet it. Most winter hats only need 1 skeins to crochet and are a little faster to make, although I know there are many knitters that can stitch blindingly fast.
Crochet is very fashionable in High Street stores atm in the UK. With the advance in technology, crochet can now be mimic by machines. I've inspected some of these items, and whilst they look pretty, it's clear to the trained eye that they are not made by hand. The average consumer will not know this.. I believe the throw-a-away fashion types won't care either tbh.
So right crochet is in the fashion industry now but people don’t want to pay so they go to the store paying expenses prices ❤
I couldn't agree more.
Fast fashion is the worst.
Viva la crochet!

Yeah, it's so rude of people to ask for things so cheap. I think as crocheters were are undervalued,
And it takes 3 times more yarn than similar Knittng.....

It sure does take time ❤
are you a process or a product crocheter? I love the process, but I also love to get to the finished item asap hehe.

This is NOT Clare talking. Stolen content.
Lol we know it's not her talking. People use voice overs all the time nothing new.
@MsBindi190 it's all good. In youtube, I can use other people's sound from their video if they give permission.
