Annoucement!

Please note: Because of recent theft and illegal distribution of my patterns, I have kept and will always keep all transactions records and information pertaining to pattern orders to be turned over to the right authorities in the event of the continuation of this practice, whereas your name or email address('s) are involved.

it blows sticky lint that you have to do this! :( :(

I do not like to get involved in these types of things. I just want to design, live and let live.

i realize that, on both counts, but not everyone has learned how to play nice in the sandbox :(
oh well, if they're not careful, they'll end up playing in the corner the kitty used ;)

sorry.... :)
hopefully the cease/desist comments will have the effect needed, and this will be the ned (or close to it) of this mess!

[crohooker]

Yes it does, big time! Thanks for the little ray of sunshine in an other wise gloomy day girlfriend.

Anybody who makes a legitimate purchase from you shouldn't have a problem with you keeping a record of their name, address, and email address. That's just good business record-keeping on your part, and virtually every business does it.

Your work is great, and you deserve to protect your rights.

[crohooker]

Thank you I appreciate your understanding of this matter. I just don't want anyone to missunderstand the keeping of information.

Hi, I know you don't know me but I just wanted to say I wish you the best of luck in your legal battles. It stinks that people are doing this to you and other designers and acting like they're entitled.

Best of luck to you,

Sarah

P.S. I hope you don't mind me posting to your blog. I just found it a few days ago and then I saw the posts on the crochet communities about the theft and I wanted to express my condolences.

[crohooker]

Thank you I appreciate the support. I'm glad you posted!

Hi, I wandered over from the crochet community.
Just wanted to say that I'm sad that this has happened to you, hope that this ends up working in your favour and greatly enjoy seeing your creations.

I heard that you were getting a pattern book together - any more news on that?

[crohooker]

Thanks for coming over and giving your support. I have 3 pieces in a book called 'Not Your Grannies Crochet' and another in the upcomeing SnB 'Happy Hooker'
