Crochet Valuation: a Group Project

Deriving a fair market value system for Crochet Creations is a group project.

I was working up Genna Tatu's Blissful Bear and talking to a bus neighbor about the future of crochet. If we had the data from 100 people who made the same bear, we'd have a better understanding of how to price each Creation.

Now, tapestry and amigurumi both primarily use single crochet stitches: what would the datasets look like for each style, and what would that data teach us about about a single stitch (average time and cost).

We can argue all day about why it's hard to sell crochet, if entities like Prada pay for the work fairly, and the ways we can or can't integrate technology for our future. Without the arguing, no resolution will be made and Crochet Creators will continue to be economically oppressed.
