I know little about knitting as far as time spent making a special piece. My mom knits/crochets, but not as detailed as your scarfs. My personal opinion is when I looked at the scarf, I looked at the price. It is something that I would have to love and have to have, to buy it for that price. So I would think a lot of people that look at it, love it, but do I really want to spend that much. I am sure there are many people out there that would buy the scarf, because it is beautiful, but you just have to find them. Good luck to you, the scarfs are beautiful!
