EMERGENCY COMMISSSIONS bc we are poor and have overdue bills to pay
did not want to make this post but here we are. my wife and I moved to Augusta 3 months ago hoping to find better work opportunities, and it's not going great. we have friends who have given us housing, but our personal bills have gone unpaid for over a month now, and despite finding a job I just do not make enough to pay them. we're working with our bank to get our payments lowered (my credit is now officially shot) but we still owe over $800 in back payments.
I'm not asking for donations (though they are appreciated I won't lie); instead im opening my crochet comms.
i make lace shawls; pics below
they're big; I have 26" wide shoulders and these fall to at least my elbow if not lower. they're made of a cotton/acrylic blend that is easy to care for (machine washable if run on a delicate cycle w cold water in a garment bag; hang or lay flat to dry) and can come in essentially any color variation.
you can choose what colors you want and whether you want the gradient to flow from one point asymmetrically to the opposite edge (the first pic) or evenly out from the center (pics 2 and 3). the actual lace pattern is up to me, because while my lace is simple it is freeform, and I don't follow any specific pattern for my shawls. as a result they're all different and unique, this is part of the charm!
I'm asking $150 per piece; this covers both materials and my time and labor.
i also have to order the yarn I'd need; this yarn isn't the cheapest so I don't have a stash of it at the moment. the shops I order from are very prompt, however, so this won't take too much extra time.
overall turnaround time is 4 weeks from the time I receive the yarn, but it rarely takes me that long.
if they all go that'll be enough to get my bills right, which is all I need right now. payment is required before I can order the yarn, but I'll send whatever updates you ask for as I work on your project. if this goes off I'll keep track of my progress on a given project in my pinned post.
if anyone is interested, please dm me and we get go over all the details.
**if you want something bigger, like a poncho or a cape, I can do that! but it'll cost more.**
if you don't want or can't afford a $150 shawl I absolutely understand, reblogs are much appreciated ๐
