Turning my hobby into a side business
**This thread is to get feedback only. It is not meant to solicit sales here on xmarksthescot. No items for sale.**
I am turning my hobby of knitting into a small side business of creating reproduction knitwear for my fellow reenactors. I plan to set up shop at the upcoming World War I Days in Rockford (northern Illinois, USA). A nice little pile of items has already begun, with many more to come over the next six weeks. All items are hand knit of 100% wool in correct olive drab and grey to dated original WWI patterns.
While not strictly kilting, I would appreciate anyone chiming in, especially reenactors, on the proposed prices. I know that I am already severely undervaluing my labor just to bring prices down to what might be reasonable, so that doesn’t need to be said. In short, do you feel that these are fair and reasonable prices reenactors (or you) would pay for hand knit reproduction woolens?
Balaclava/knit helmet- $40
Watch Cap- $35
Scarf- $50
Pair Long Wristlets- $25
Pair Short Wristlets- $10
Trigger finger mittens- $40
Pair Socks- $40
Sweater- $180, depending on amount of materials needed.

Thanks, KnittedReenactor
