There will be people who disagree but it's clear from the hundreds of copyright discussions on ravelry that tensions seem to run high in this area. <br /><br />Just remember who your friends were before you become famous!!Rose Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510204661811765499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27453681.post-73483294484229874362009-09-05T12:14:34.931+01:002009-09-05T12:14:34.931+01:00Remember my Donyale socks?

Boy, did I hear about it from the "knitting designer police". Oh, and how could we forget my Stella pattern. They almost had a coronary over that one, remember? <br />Go ahead and publish your scarf pattern my love. The knitting designer police need to be stirred again. They've been oh-so-quiet lately... ;)Norahttp://black-dog-knits.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27453681.post-65604973738284476872009-09-05T06:09:14.590+01:002009-09-05T06:09:14.590+01:00I 'designed' my Block of Chocolate' so...I 'designed' my Block of Chocolate' socks and lo and behold there were some White Chocolate socks At The Same Time. It's very B5/DS9 or Armageddon/Deep Impact. Ideas must be floating around in the ether and then hit people simultaneously. You must go ahead and publish your pattern, it is your idea for a scarf. There is nothing new in knitting, pretty much, so this is your original idea for a scarf. Happy designing!!2pawhttp://cindy2paw.typepad.com/2paw/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27453681.post-67338709483262040182009-09-04T21:45:00.849+01:002009-09-04T21:45:00.849+01:00i bet you would be very stoked!
i think about des...i bet you would be very stoked!<br /><br />i think about designing but never think my ideas are original enough. Then I see a new pattern for say, a cardigan, and I think well there's nothing stunningly original about that and someone published it! I think striving for absolute originality is just crazy. It's like advice on writing i once read - don't try to make your first novel the most outstanding, original piece of art ever written or you're going to set youself up to fail. Just write. See what happens.<br /><br />So just design. And see what happens. And publish.Bellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961733332080072331noreply@blogger.com
