>4 different colors/balls, £8.50 apiece brings the cost up it £34 just in materials. this yarn is on the nicer side, though, so you could feasibly cut the yarn cost in half.
That would be for a full ball of yarn though, right? Which I'm unlikely to use completely on the gloves. I think anyway, I don't know.
>you could try looking into local knitting circles and see if anyone is willing to take a commission on this
Hmm, not a bad idea. Although I know of no knitting circles or where to find such knitting circles. I probably couldn't even pick out a knitting shop on a high street, I'm clueless with it. Do those instructions look good to you to where I could link them to someone and they could just follow it?
>learning to knit yourself.
The problem is I don't think I'd have any use for it after learning it. Is it worth my own labour time spending all this time knitting at a competent level for just this? I'm not sure it's cost effective from a time standpoint.

Thanks for all the advice and help. Ultimately I wanted to know if the pricing was fair and from what you're saying, it is.
It seemed extortionate but then I didn't know much about it.
I also wondered if there was some cheap shit alternative I could do instead, but doesn't sound like that's the case either. I considered maybe dying some existing gloves, I have some grey ones but who knows if that would work and it's not like I'm some dye expert.

I'll have to think about it. I might reach out tothe seller and see what they say. I think £50 pushing it for me, it just doesn't sit right with me spending that much on gloves. I like and do want them but they're not even in the film that long either.

I guess my options are just Etsy or infiltrating knitting clubs.
