FB shite thread

Not been one for a few weeks so will throw this in.

Can be customised to your own child's name for £7.50

Has anyone else seen the fallout on the craft craft and more craft page because someone tried charging £50 for a pair of socks?

...

gunting yes! currently reading the comments and laughing! my favourite comment was someone assuming £50 was a typo for £5 and suggesting that she could up the price to £12!

gunting I've just seen the sock discussion - "is £50 a typo hun? I think you mean £5"

Well today Yonique helps women suffering from abuse. In a meme.

Milk and frogletina it's good isn't it my favourite comment was 'no one questions Gucci sock prices'

For the love of God won't someone post the £50 craft socks?!

Glo I posted them at 8.06. They've removed all trace of the socks so it wasn't easy

Oh no I can't see them! I can see the tack-tastic Charlemange though

I want to ask how you wash those socks?

whatawhoppa wtaf is in that bag?

For glogirl here you go.

There's no denying there is some work in these but £50??

Wow yes well if Gucci can sell them for £50, that's the same thing

They are incredible though.

Is there some cultural reference that I'm missing? Sweating for the wedding?

Nerr I'm not sure but I'm imagining someone at the gym with that?

Oh yes I get it. Sweating meaning getting fit for the wedding.

Those socks - if you were selling them based on the time they take to make yhem £50 is probably an undersell...

dick I have no idea. looks like random bits of shit out of the cheap christmas crackers. what kind of an emergency at a wedding would require the use of a mini peg in a bright orange colour? can't make out the other thing. thought it might have been a water pistol and a mini ping pong ball. and what use are the scrabble tiles?

Oh god, I absolutely LOVE these threads, I think they are my favourite kind. I realise this makes me a horrible mean spirited person but the total shit that some people will try and sell has my face like most of the time!
I joined my local group purely to spot gems and be able to post on here but it's so disappointing. People know how to spell chest of drawers, no one glitters ash trays and there is very little hunning.
Sad times.

Keep up the good work please, i have laughed very hard

yes that really is an inflatable zimmer frame and walking stick!

im going to come read the comments on those socks. has there been loads of hunning yet? makes my teeth itch that word 😵

LEM ask them if they have the inflatable wheelchair for the set, and will they deliver it a week on saturday when you get paid, cash.

Socks are timeconsuming - if I charged minimum wage for the socks I knit, they would be over £100 per pair. Obviously, I'm actually sensible and have realised I can't make a living knitting socks.

So I have a full sock drawer and an engineering degree.

i would hun. but they alreadt sstc

The lady with the socks said they took her 20 hours. £50 is definitely an undersell by miles. Even without costs that would mean she'd only pay herself £2.50 an hour.

That said, I'm not sure it's realistic to think that people will pay £50 for a pair of socks on a regular basis, and if she's hoping to make a living out of it I would gently suggest she focusses her efforts on something else.
