This listing on Coriandr was pointed out to me last week and since then it has inspired quite a few blog posts on the subject of knitting and realistic pricing.  The same topic arose over on Folksy today and I got to discover a whole range of amazing, knitted items that are still at absolute bargain prices.  Thought I should share some of my favourite things from these hard-working crafters:

Blue Slippers by Wool & Wire £18.40

.   .   .   .   .

Plum Crumble Beret by Ginger Nut Knits £25

.   .   .   .   .

Red Sunset Scarflette by Woolly Lakes £8.00!

.   .   .   .   .

Black & Pink Skull gloves by Susie J £10!

.   .   .   .   .

and my favourite and biggest bargain find…ADORABLE little Easter Chick by The Hunny Bunny Comany

£2.00

Having had my first disastrous attempt at knitting just the other week, giving up after hours of persistence, I can certainly appreciate the hard work and skill that goes into creating all of these lovely things.  And if anyone’s looking for a pretty present for a talented knitting friend, then I’d recommend Pennydog’s handmade resin knitting needles:


Aren’t they gorgeous?!
