    I have watched a lot of videos about the "Taylor Swift" dress and one person got in touch with the company who created it, they asked about the labour costs compared to item price and were told basically the dress is made in parts by several people and sewed together by another, so you can't compare it to hand made really. It's a cop out in my view, these people are making crochet panels all day for a set wage (probably have to make a set number too) and that wage is most likely less than minimum wage for most countries.

    ❤ I love it! I think it's my favorite too! It reminds me of the granny square vests that were super popular in the late 60's and early 70's. But yours is so refined and delicate! I love it! Please give Mac a little smooch from me!
    Thank you very much!

      Thank you! I picked up stitches around the edge using a very long cable needle and then knit an i-cord to make the edge - the I-cord repeat was *knit 3, knit 2 together, slip 4 stitches from the right to the left needle*, repeat * *. 🙂

    You did a gorgeous job on that Taryn! Agree with you on the tassels. 😝 What you did looks great! I'm not a fan of making granny square stuff because I hate putting it all together at the end. Your choices were perfect tho!

      Thanks so much, Devon!😊🫶 Yeah, that’s definitely understandable - I love making the actual granny squares, but connecting them is not as fun 😅

    So technically the top, if paying yourself anywhere decent for the hours spent on it, would be $300+ if you were to sell it. So fun! I don't think I'd ever want to do that small of yarn for granny squares lol. After I made a full or double size granny square afghan... I'm good.

      Oh! You also gave me an idea for the lace weight alpaca yarn I got for Christmas! Thank you.

    • @calicoradio_knits
      @calicoradio_knits  5 месяцев назад +2

      Lace weight alpaca yarn sounds so luxurious!☺️ Yeah, an afghan’s worth of granny squares is definitely more than enough granny squares for quite a while 😄

    I hope that top isn't real crochet! it might be that embroidery that looks like crochet, i've seen that A LOT. fingers crossed hahaha. also LOVE your doggy so so so much

    That top is made from machine-made fabric cut to shape. That's why you don't see parts of a whole square folded in the lining.
