Haha well played! Well this totally solves all my bitching and moaning about not having a heated shifter, and it matches the ///M tracksuit that I wear every day to work.

Holy shit! You're the one to blame for this!

In the start of autumn our tough Canadian and USA members cried over this so damn much, the idea of these was formed. I never thought I'd actually have to learn how to do one so the joke truly has been on me.

so thanks. Because of you this horror story happened.

We have done some serious marketing research here Myz! Now we need to find someone to take over this.

I admit this is highly seasonal modification so the interest shown won't be as high at summer time but if we count 1.5 dollars spent on yarn for each (I need to make at least four to make on fit so waste percentage needs to be lowered), shipping done by someone who knows how to without the happy man at FedEx, and if cut the card since who would want to suck up to customers, using grandmas as workforce, and because this has no competition in the segment, IND could make up to three cents per order, if the price was set to 5 dollars!

Now, lets say cold zone has 500 M's and everybody orders, that's a profit of 1.5 dollars so your cut would almost buy you a chewing gum from a dispenser!

You'll be rich and as every other humanist in the world, I'll end up bitter.

Well aren't you buddies with the folks at IND? Can't you get them on board?

(and, agree, we need a more reliable production line.

...though if I'm honest, putting out a call for "all knitters please apply" on a car enthusiast website seems like it will generate few hits...)

I texted @Cat@IND an URL to this. I'm sure they are as I write this interviewing grannies for the job!

It might be safe to assume this forum is not the best method to find workforce but i doubt knitting forums will be any better for making sales on the other hand.

I do not appreciate the comment about production line! Rarely has the world seen products that for one sent, four is made and even one of the four sent/ delivered had a minor issue reported. This only shows commitment to the task as well as to the end users. Personally i think the recipient of the "faulty" one is just out to get me, since it is clear he his did not have the skills needed to complete this installation process.

All in all if IND takes over this, and includes them to their portfolio for M5/6 also, I'm sure they can make anything up to 10 dollars as a profit over the period of 3 years.

I can't wait for the look I'll get again from the man in the office when he fills the duty form... He truly tried not to laugh at me the last time but ended up getting a colleague to laugh at these too.

I sent you an e-mail! Thanks again! Your the best!

I'm going to have to use the official Virtanen in the packet info. When Myz names stuff he goes all the way!

Oh, come on.

We all know you work union hours with regular smoke breaks, coffee breaks, days off, etc.

....and "1 final per 4 tries" is not exactly good business. You'll bankrupt IND (or run the world out of Alpaca wool) in a couple of months at that rate!

God, do I miss Rob Ford. He had become my absolutely favourite thing about Toronto. As far as I was concerned, he could have been mayor for life.....

Hey I'm am not suggesting using me as a work force! Hell, I have no skills, and I suck at keeping regular hours. Elderly would be so much more reliable and they would rock the customer service too.

Just because you've been so mean, I'm knitting the other Canadian who lives in real winter zone an M hat too! Damn you Myz!

Mean?

How?

I have created this whole line of business for you that will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams!*

*note: will not actually enrich you at all. may cost you money, in fact.

You called my customer feedback fit for an airline, when we all know I'm at least at the level of used car salesmen!

As for a business, this may not be one of profit but I sure have laughed at the whole project more than for other one for a while.

No hat for you Myz!

That showed me my place!

I have no skills with the hook thingy, but knitting is fun. I'm using the poor man who lives in a freezer as an excuse to waste my yarn basket away. Quality in these sadly is not better than in anything else I do.

In the weekend wah will be installing a lip into his car so we will have other things to laugh at again!

Sadly proto one of m hat ended up so big my puppy can sleep in it. I started over spread but since my minor shipping issues have gotten wah's hemorrhoids to explode in the past, you now have an extra day delay in shipping.

I'm aware I need a life. No need to point that out.

I was thinking DMV, but I must admit, you have been very responsive and proactive, so I'll elevate you to cable television company. You're welcome!

If you save that X-large M hat for my sasquatch head, my hemorrhoids cheer for you.

You accused me of being passive aggressive when you of all people should know I'm actively aggressive and bitchy. This is a practice for holding onto anger which has never been my strong suit. I have a post it on my screen to remind me that I'm very angry with you, which is further proof again that I can't be an actual female.

Lol the hat fit my ego, even my head swollen as it is could've used together with my best friends in it too. Sadly that means you and um I'll think of someone else asap.

No hat for you! You can freeze for all I care. You've been on a too good mood for days now and it annoys the shit out of me.
