So obviously I've been fretting over all the issues involved in the last post, and have been for a very long time....
Since posting though, I have received a multitude of emails from some truly lovely ladies that offered some wonderful advise and encouragement.
Here are just a couple of links that deal with my particular issue, as well as other issues that some of you might be interested in.

You can't possibly expect to hold either of these websites, nor the people behind them, responsible for dispensing any "legal advise" regarding your personal issues. You really do have to get your own atty for that. But the info they have provided, certainly has put the spring back into my step!!
All I can say is that yet again, (and at a time when most needed) the goodness of people has outshone the bad. Thank you one and all for you encouragement, and sharing of your expertise and knowledge!
Greetings,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog - know JUST what you mean about mental exercise and knitting. Looking forward to more origami Debbie N inspired ourobourous fun stuff! Your modular jacket is very nice too. Guessit is Iris Schreier who is the angry one. She cannot copyright techniques y'know.
We had a similar case on one of the Danish lists I am on. One lady saw the Promenade shawl by Hanne Falkenberg, went home and wrote her own pattern, and put it on the list for free. Several rows (as in arguments) later - it is permissible - it is her interpretation.
Keep up the good work!
