Filthy Lucre

Money makes the world go around
The world go around
The world go around
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round.

- from Cabaret

I have revamped my pricing structure to both simplify and allow sales of all my non-exclusive patterns by both on line and traditional retailers.

I have reduced my prices to three levels: $8, $6, and $4.

Some of the aperitifs have been raised to $6 which would be an appropriate price at the retail level. This price increase reflects the fact that I receive only half that amount at the wholesale level. So I am actually losing a dollar by making these patterns available to retailers.

I hope you feel you are receiving a fair return on your investment in my patterns. If this is not the case, please drop me a comment and I will take all into consideration.

I am not in this for the money, but at $2 a pattern, I barely cover my printing costs.

Some of the aperitifs will remain at $4. Thank you for your understanding and patronage. I would not be in the enviable position of expanding my business to more retail outlets were it not for your support.

And if you order before I get all the prices changed, you'll get a bargain!!

Except for Magic Carpet Ride. That one is actually going down!

Your prices have always been more than fair and less than most other designers... my opinion :-)

I am still looking for Sugar Snap pattern--

Are you making this available? I would simply like the stitch pattern--not a scarf. Is there someplace I can find?

email is drapert_1999@yahoo.com or you can msg me on yahoo messenger (open all day) or I'm drapert on Ravelry.
