yea.... i own a lot of yarn, and i didnt count the sales goods
your siblings, pardon my saying so, are being ass hats. if you wish to waste an obviously too good for them bit of hand work on their xmas presents, i suggest you label it with "hours work= x my hourly wage=y therefore this hat costs yarn+x+y+ amortized value of tools" (not counting profit/retail markup)
snort
one day they will wish they had one of your nice hand knit things. i suggest you wait for that day and laugh at them.
sorry, i was a bit of an ass as a child, and i still regret not appreciating my g mom's knit stuff when she was still with us. i have ONE top she knit for me that still survives, and its not one of her better works...... but i treasure it.
maybe you could get them subscriptions to knit picks? THAT woudl teach them how much we spend on yarn......... lol
