I am sure in their job they'd be insulted to get paid $5 for 50-60 hours of work, not counting materials.

And they wanted the socks in merino wool too.
Let's see a pair of knit socks would take roughly 1/25th the time it took to do a fashion doll dream camper. Unfortunately, when I priced it for the person I estimated it would take sock time. $500 didn't seem like much when I finished the @/%& thing many months later.
So yes one week sounds quick to a needlepointer. I do appreciate the time though.
