It has long been a sore spot for me. I had a yarn store in Michigan for many years and now do the fiber show circut along with a web store. As I design some patterns, from scratch, writing down each row as I do it, I get very annoyed with the knitters who take the pattern and change a rib or such and call it their own, or worse yet, make the pattern and sell the items. I have seen many patterns at shows that are duplicates of older ones, without giving the original credit. I have a stash of antique patterns. Also, the shop owners, who will call a pattern theirs and sell copies, yes, photocopies. In the last 30 years, I have reviewed copywrites, and while the rules are changing a little, the basic principle is still there - if you get the idea from someone else, it is an infringement. There is a myth that if you change it 10% it is yours!<br />There is alot of hard work in designing, graphing, writing patterns, and that also includes test knitting. Lets give the designers their dues!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
