It's time for yet another episode in the series The Awesomeness of Tara.
The person she made them for has offered payment and she doesn't know what to charge. I have offered to be the financial consultant of All that is Tara and said $50- she thought that was high- she has $15 in materials. I'm saying you'd pay AT LEAST THAT for the cuteness of the boots alone in a high end store and these are better made.
And yet, while these are amazing and adorable, they do not properly give tribute to awesome. This evening instead of knitting, she was putting together her homemade Christmas card list. You may remember the knitting penguin from last year. She was talking about people that she has no real work/family/knitting relationship with that she regularly sends them to and I said "You could send one to Aunt of Sophanne"- knowing the meticulous time and care that go into these cards I was mostly just joking- kiddingly adding names to her list where none were needed- also knowing that they've never met.
She then pulled out the list, passed it to me and said "She's already on there."
That. Girl. She is something else.

I want to buy the set for my nephew and I would pay $50...does she take orders?
For $50 she's probably going to be paid about six cents an hour for her time. She needs to remember that some people are trying to make a living on their hand-knitting, and if she undersells them, they won't be able to afford to eat, let alone buy materials.
Not only is she something else, but she's a good dear friend. Why do people under value themselves, I wonder?
