If anyone is interested, I use Homespun yarn and they're roughly 8 to 10 feet long. I can make stripes and such, but I honestly don't know how to do lots of neat stitches yet. They have a nice loose knit and can be wrapped multiple times depending on how cold it is. Aside from color choices, they're pretty gender neutral and I have several guy friends who have them. I knit using size 11 bamboo needles and approximately 2 skeins of yarn. Scarves are between 20 and 25 stitches wide (about 7-8 inches) depending on the thickness of certain yarn colors. I try my best to match up gradient yarns and such so the seams aren't visible. I can also make nice thick stripey blankets to whatever dimensions I'm given, and prices vary a bit by size.<br /><br />PRICES:<br /><br />Scarves~<br />regular scarves: $30<br />short scarves (approx 5-6 ft.) $25<br />+ tassels: +$5<br />chenille regular scarves: $40<br />chenille short scarves: $35<br />*tassels are NOT available on chenille scarves<br /><br />Blankets~<br />2 color throws: $50<br />3 color throws: $55<br />more than 3 color throws: $60<br />twin 2 color: $65<br />twin 3 color: $70<br />twin more than 3 colors: $75<br />full 2 color: $80<br />full 3 color: $85<br />full more than 3 colors: $90<br />queen 2 color: $95<br />queen 3 color: $100<br />queen more than 3 colors: $105<br />king 2 color: $110<br />king 3 color: $115<br />king more than 3 colors: $120<br />+ corner tassels: +$5<br />+ full tassels: +$15<br /><br />Pillows (with cloth covered pillow form inside)~<br />1 color: $20<br />2 color #1 (front one color, back the other): $25<br />2 color #2 (stripes): $25<br />+ corner tassels: +$5<br /><br />*Please ask about colors and custom stuff, and I'll see what I have and can do!*<br /><br />If there's enough interest, I'll probably start a journal just for this sort of crafty stuff, but for now I'm just going to leave this public :) I need to reupload the pics to flickr, but I'll add some examples when I get a chance!<br /><br />P.S.
