Laura: if you don't knit, I don't know where you would buy these. At $15/hr knitting time and materials, they would be too expensive to sell...maybe $75 if you really want a pair. Thank you for the comment.

ReplyDeleteI also don't understand, where is the knitting pattern? All I see are the crochet directions. Am I missing a link or something?
