Well, it's happened. The state of the economy has hit me.
I have spoken to my Peruvian contact and, due to the 30% drop in the value of the dollar in relation to Peruvian Nuevo Sol, he has had to raise the price I pay for each pair of longies knit in the cooperative in order to pay the women a living wage. This means that I will be raising the price of Classic Crankypants to $80 a pair, up from $70. Even though this is the first time I've raise prices in quite a while, it hurts a bit to do so. I've said in the past that I will keep the price at $70 for those of you on the wait list and I will honor that, but anyone who adds their name from this point on will be charged the new price. I am having the price changed on the website right now to reflect this so that no one is misled.

That really sucks for you, but I'm glad the women will continue to receive a fair wage and Crankys are definitely still worth it!
