Good heavens. Do you think they are knitted out of gold spun by elves?

Ah, but did she "knit them herself" Boys? Because clearly that's what you pay the £91 premium for.

Mmm as if you would pay £98 for a pair of baby mittens, one of which is guaranteed to be lost on the first outing.

The yellow socks are awful, cant see them matching many outfits.

Wonder if she has actually ever sold any.

Coming by superfast mail if it costs that much to send one pair of socks

Can't believe it seems more lucrative than her original perfume selling

I have asked her if the £98 is a typo

Notice though that she doesn't actually say you get a pair....making it an even more lucrative business idea

the baby hats are made from rare lambswool, but still confused

My godfathers she must be a human knitting machine.

hand knitted my arse!

Can you find completed listings from a particular seller? It'd be interesting to see whether she has actually sold any.

Well, theres no feedback for anything knitted on the 6 most recent pages (yes, I was sad enough to look!)

And the socks listed as 12-13yrs in the title then say aged 3-4 in the description

And is 'bron' a typo, or is it some flashy type of jumper I dont know of?!

is that for 1 or a pair
do you get the whole batch of 14?
can you get them in better colours or are we stuck with cat sick jaune?

There is no way that that baby hat is handknitted. It looks like cotton from the picture. This has got to be a scam of some kind.

cremolafoam · 05/09/2008 15:00

look she has actually knitted some and then she must've got bored and gone to poundstretcher for the yellow ones

Come on, I just wanna know which mnetter listed all this for a laugh? And why on earth do it? There's no way this is for real.

She must know something we don't! Like anyone would spend £98 on a sock!

How bizarre.
Sometimes when I see things like that I wonder if the item is some kind of code so you get in touch with seller for something else thats dodgy.

I was once searching for shoes and came across someone selling some shoes for a huge amount buy it now. 'well worn shoes' and some VERY dodgy pics of the shoes being worn on feet - the persons legs were at, lets say unusual angles....

but £5.55 for the postage as well that is taking the piss, whether the listing price is wrong or not!
