Garments are knit to your size - preferably from a sample of your favorite sweater, vest, socks, or gloves.  You may be sent a size chart, to clarify your personal dimensions.  Here is your chance to be your own designer of handmade clothing in exotic natural fibers!   All items are knit by hand.  These items are not machine knit or mass produced.</div> <bR> <div> Pick the colors and yarns you prefer in the size and style most flattering for you. We can use your fiber, your yarns, your pattern or design, or, we can supply all three to knit the item of your choice.  This is the opportunity to wear something made of your own fiber or something created for that special someone from special fiber.  </div> <bR> <div> Custom knitting takes time.  Once we have the yarn, please allow 4 - 12 weeks to complete your sweater or shawl.  </div> <bR> <div> Also, ask about Fran fixing or finishing a project that you just can't seem to finish.  Or, having trouble with a project?  Call or write, and <A HREF="mailto: fran@designingfibers.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto: fran@designingfibers.com"><U>Fran </U></A>might be able to help you get back on track.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Custom Knitting Rates:</B></div> <bR> <div> Price varies by pattern and size.  The more complex the pattern and the larger the size, the higher the price.  Knitting prices do not include yarns.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Basic hats:     </B><B>    $25 - $35</B></div> <div>     (Plain knit to 25% patterned)</div> <bR> <div> <B>Complex hats:</B>           <B>$35 - $75</B></div> <div>    (More than 25% patterned)</div> <bR> <div> <B>  Mittens/Socks:       </B>  <B>$30 - $50</B></div> <div>            </div> <div>    <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B> Simple scarf:          $40 - $50</B></FONT></div> <div>         Ascot, garter stitch or plain knit, ribbed edges</div> <bR> <div>   <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>  Complex scarf:          $55 - $150</B></FONT></div> <div>       Ribbing, cable, lace, extra long (over 5 feet)</div> <div> Depends upon length, width, pattern & design</div> <bR> <div> <B>Shawls/Stoles:</B>        <B> $150 - $500</B></div> <div> Really depends on size and complexity</div> <bR> <div> <B>Plain Adult Sweaters/Vests:</B>    <B>   $150 - $275</B></div> <div> Solid color, pullover or cardigan, vests</div> <div>  Really depends on size and complexity</div> <bR> <div> <B>Complex Sweater:</B><B> </B><B>$300 - $850</B></div> <div> Cables, lace, multiple patterns, multiple colors or cable throughout<B>, </B>pullover, cardigan, or vests</div> <div> See <A HREF="id173.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sweaters"><U>Jim's sweater</U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
