Having had a couple of designs published in the UK Lace Guild magazines for
no payment, they might have an issue with you copying them, but I don't
provided you give them for free.
The three books of designs published on things other than lace (the first of
which has been in print since 1984, still is and I'm still getting royalties
on it), as far as I'm concerned I've had the satisfaction of designing, and
I'm earning money from the books. If you buy the book and want to put in the
time and effort to make anything I've designed and sell it, then good for
you - I'm happy I've helped you to make money through your own efforts. But
don't sell or give away the designs in my books - they're mine and I'm
earning money from them. If you give them away, you're stealing money from
me.
