FREE SHIPPING IN THE US!

This listing is for a collar like the one pictured. It’s made to order, so message me first to find out my wait list. It’s my third collar design after the first two I made to wear as tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but also to show dissent toward Trump putting in a sycophant justice after the Republicans set a precedent with the Merrick Garland debacle. It’s a full circle with no clasp, so it’s pulled over the head. May need blocking from time to time to keep it flat. Last picture shows it being blocked (wet it fully, shape flat, maybe pin in place, and let dry). Material is white acrylic. This is crocheted in yarn instead of fine lace thread, that’s why the large price difference between this and my other lace collars.

By the way, I have my pattern for this posted for free on my blog: https://aileensoprano.wordpress.com/2020/09/24/aileens-free-collar-pattern/

NOTE ABOUT PRICING:
My prices have gone up and down over the years as I’ve tried to negotiate a compromise between paying myself an okay wage and having my items be affordable. I decided that I’d give you the opportunity to choose your price. My bottom price will pay me $10 an hour. I have it topped out at $23.45 an hour (which is the median pay for craft and fine artists in the US). $15 an hour is generally considered a “living wage,” and a price point that reflects that rate is marked as such. I greatly appreciate any sale, regardless of what you choose, and I thank you in advance for understanding my desire to fully honor my work and time. If you can’t afford a price in the upper range, please don’t feel bad about selecting a lower price option. You are my support base, and I don’t want to lose your business!

ABOUT ME: My two little kiddos are my life. I’m addicted to the practice of yoga. I’m a classically trained soprano. I’ve had one cavity my whole live. I don’t believe things without evidence. I use more salt than recommended, and I believe that’s a good thing. I made my own pogs as a child. I enjoy learning traditional Swedish tunes on fiddle. I recognize my own white privilege and try to use it to help proclaim BLACK LIVES MATTER. I’ve crocheted since 1993. I’ve never purchased mp3s online. I buy CDS. I want to try crocheting with cassette tape. I have three yarn cabinets, 2 yarn boxes, and bags and piles of yarn scattered throughout the house at any given moment. I crochet more than a full time job’s worth. I can save anybody with my blood, and I donate as often as I can. I’m pretty much a carnivore, and I realized that digestion is better without fiber! I even have a food Instagram: @Aileen_Cuisine. Conversation with my son when he was 3 years old:
Prior: “Who are these?”
Me: “Those are your nipples.”
Prior: “My nipples wants to take a bath.”
