    I enjoyed your video for sure. Thank you for sharing I look forward to seeing what you make in the future. I had an Etsy shop in the past and I have a small yarn business online over in Washington. What I really love is knitting tutorials I'm not the best at reading patterns. So I would love to see you make up a video so I can follow along and make one. Especially sweaters

    I really like the selection/variety of things you are showing - you have great taste, and everything looks a little different! I also really appreciate that you provided links directly to all of the patterns you used AND created chapters in the video - all of those elements make it really easy for a viewer to pick and choose from your selection and then go off to make their own.

    Wow! Awesome! I'm impressed! Everything is so beautiful! I really appreciate that you mention the yarn you used. I'm a Lettlopi lover too and I planned on buying some knitpicks yarns...it's nice to see the fabric that is obtained with these yarns. I want to knit a toddler version of a sweater I knitted for my son in Lettlopi. But I would like to use a more softer yarn. If you have some suggestions for a non-superwash Knitpicks yarn, pls let me know. Wish you safe and relaxing holiday season!

    Wow. You accomplished so much this year! I'm retired and can't seem to make that many knits. Question: Do you have a formula for pricing your knitwear to sell? I can't imagine making even minimum wage with all of the hours put into a sweater. I would love to sell knitwear but afraid it wouldn't be worth all the time. Especially for colorwork sweaters. Your knitwear is beautiful. Most of the patterns I already have on my list.

    • @svenjaknits
      @svenjaknits  Рік тому +1

      Haha I do love to knit! Good question about pricing - I have a rough formula I use that I found in a good book I have about selling handmade items. I’ll have to dig it out and send it to you! But you are generally right, it’s hard to charge what a hand knit is actually worth…

    • @vanessalumbra9409
      @vanessalumbra9409 Рік тому +1

      @@svenjaknits That would be great. I've read a few different ways to calculate. One being 3 times the cost of materials. You'd have to use commercial wool, for example from knitpicks, as using hand dyed would be off the charts. However, it still wouldn't cover labor.
