I understand a bit why the designer would be a bit snippy, but what did she expect with a design like that? I swear a lot, but I would be embarassed to make something like that afghan. <br /><br />Plus, the designer is a bit...touched in the head...She went off on a member of a crochet forum (cant remember which one...about.com??) because the forum member gave another member the LINK to where they could PURCHASE one of the designers patterns directly from the designer. They didnt offer to give away a pattern, just gave the link where the other person could go and purchase a copy from the designer. <br /><br />The designer pretty much accused both people of copyright theft (huh?!). There was never any mention by either person about anything resembling copyright theft. <br /><br />Just from reading about that made me not want to ever use any of the designer's (Maria Merlino) patterns. Whether they're a free pattern or one you've got to purchase from her.<br /><br />I think your comment to her was good, logical and professional sounding...something that the designer seems to need help with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
