After not being able to find one in the shops and not being able to find a pattern I just decided to crochet one myself.

purplemonkey:

Work out how much it will cost to make then multiply by three. See how much that is, if it seems reasonable, then that's how much to charge. Too little, add a bit, too much, take a bit off.

I am serious about buying one, if you want to think about how much to charge me

DimpledThighs · 08/04/2007 18:51

hey purplemonkey - looks like you have an extra source of income!

Love the boo!

DimpledThighs · 08/04/2007 18:51

SIX?!!!

c'mon! they're a fiver for the real one and it's mass produced!! see??

I was thinking 20ish. Or does that sound like too much?

I think £20 is a bit much, but I would pay £15..... how does that sound?

Monkey, can you please make me one too? £15 plus postage? I think it's beautiful and I would love you forever if you'd do it for me (well, the baby monkey)
