I've knitted a scarf for my mom and now I'm working on a personalised hat for her currently. She's pretty picky about it...kind of "I want it, and I want it now!" and she's only worn the scarf once so far, anyway. She's also told me to knit something for (holiday) and to knit what she wants. XP

Alot of people have asked me to make them a Kittyvile hat in (color they like) for free (after seeing me wear mine), which is annoying but I don't think I'd sell them for money either. But my hair dresser and practicly family friend asked for one in pink (the yarn hardly costs $4.00) for a free hair cut which normaly costs $35.00. Considering the labor, it's like it's atleast $20 profit on my part; anyone's opinion?

Anyway...I'd love to have a sassy comeback when someone asks for something custom and knitted. I love the idea of daring them to learn to knit themselves. Cheesy

I've found "no" is a pretty snappy and sassy comeback.

But then, I don't have a lot of friends.

Homework or knitting? It's purely academic

I usually tell people who ask me to knit something, "Sure, if you'll buy the yarn." They usually lose interest pretty quickly after that.

Isn't THAT the truth. No one wants to shell out for it, do they? I think not only should they pay for the yarn, but also any medical expenses incurred from developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

For the past few months, a few people have "insisted" that I should knit them stuff (e.g. sweaters - hahaha). My new standard response of, "I'd be happy to show you how to knit. Get the yarn and needles: no problems," gets a pretty blank stare. I can only imagine what is going through their minds: "She's a bitch" or "What? And me spend time on it?" or maybe "I could never do that" Whatever. Those people don't ask me anymore...

I love how the word bitch can be both a noun and verb (sometimes at the same time!)>

There is a girl I work with who is really bad about that.

Case in point: I had a stack of granny squares sitting on my desk because I am working on the Color Bar Blanket from SNB:HH and Girl walks by:

Girl: Whatcha making? Coasters?
Me: (picks up book and shows her that they will become a blanket)
Girl: will you make it for me if I buy you the yarn?
Me: *sigh* *attempts to steer her toward Fat Bottom Bag which only take me 3-4 hours*

That blanket has so far taken me 2 weeks. No way am I making you one, even if you do buy me the yarn.
