If people will pay for it....

Found this "Hand Knit" 1/2" x 64" Acrylic beauty for sale online.
It can be yours for only $16 ! I guess if people will pay that much for this little, maybe it would be worth making up a few of these babies.

What do you think?

I wonder how well these sell?

Boho Style, maybe?
Is this Boho? Bohemian?
I think this is one of those where less is more.
Some of the parts are great, there's just too many parts competing for attention at one time.

Or maybe its a thing with the olive green and the pink/yellow/blue/whatever sleeve caps and neckline and just that little stripe at the wrist. What's with that color(s)?

I would really like to see it with just that one yarn changed out into something like maybe the Burgundy of the skirt top, or even the greenish gold of the belt/waist band thingy.

This is a scarf?
Ok, maybe for the "no skills" people out there.
Very young crafters to be. But......
Even the 7 year-old said, "Well, that's just looping yarn around your neck. That's not knitting.".
In defense, they did twist several kinds of yarn together to get the "effect", if you call it that.

I guess the talent it does require is to pick out yarn that looks good together and looks good when you've twisted it into kinks.

If You Don't Wear Fur:
Why would you want to knit up something that imitates fur this closely? The little ermine / fox tails are just creepy, even if they are totally nylon.

And that poor little puppy! Talk about adding insult to injury.
