"Rendition" might be better? I usually put "interpretation" on mine, but that's because I tend to twiddle, however minutely, with the existing patterns (even my own <g>).
* Can I sell lace that I've made from the patterns in your book?
What about give away? Still the same rule - one's OK, for multiples ask?
* Can I copy instructions from your classes for others? No. Please contact me, and I will happily sell you a copy for your friend for very modest fee.
Can I ask you -now - to bring the pattern you taught last year? I watched my roomie (Robin) work on it, and would like to twiddle with it myself, but I don't think it's in the book. I didn't realize it was possible to buy the pattern. And I sure wish other teachers had the same attitude, and would make class patterns/instructions available for sale... For somewhere around 25-30% of what they get per classroom head (since their personal attention to the lacemaker won't be involved and the instructions - based on the personal attention would, likely, be more sketchy than ones in a book, intended for a lone lacemaker).
I would be particularly happy, if such an option was available this year in Ithaca; although I got my first choice of class (your Rosa Libre), I was unable to clone myself into 3, and get the 2nd and 3rd as well... And I'm greedy. Last year in Ithaca and this year in Prague, I avoided visiting the classrooms where courses which I'd have *also* liked to have taken were taught; why give myself an ulcer, when it was hard enough to decide how to prioritze them in the first place? I only visit classes which I wouldn't have taken anyway (usually needlelece), where I can oooh and aaah over the results (and teacher displays) without trying to keep the green tinge off my face...
I'm just in it for the cute boys.
There weren't any included in my copy of the Chrysanthemum book; is there an update? Do you hold the copyright on those also, or can we "share the pattern"?
Yours, still light-headed from getting her Ithaca notification,
