Most projects I crochet are from patterns I purchase from other artists. How this process works: You purchase and send the crochet pattern to me or send me the link to the pattern. As I cannot sell the products I make using these artists' patterns, I charge my base fee of $25 plus the cost of the pattern if I must purchase the pattern, and the added shipping fee which Michael's applies upon check-out. My cost for materials is covered for small crochet commissions (3-5 colors).
