Commissions: Grin and Beret It

It's been a busy couple of weeks. I designed and knit a sweater and beret at the request of a friend. The project is currently on its way to Switzerland as a gift for baby Chloe. While I worked on it, I thought a lot about commissions and whether or not they are worth my time.. No surprise that they are not. I think this will be my last one; Including the cost of materials, I made a 50 cents an hour. I must say I did love working with the DROPS Alpaca. It's not overly pricey and it's super soft, perfect for baby clothes. This yarn also comes in a wide range of colours. I may use it in the future to create some playful mittens for the upcoming winter.
