Hi Liz This is why, whenever I use a pattern from the web I try to find the original source and buy that. If I can find out which book this came from, it is going to be purchased and placed into my lace library. Mind you, I would never have found this book on my own, so seeing the pattern online is actually going to make a new sale for the author :-) You will notice it is a lowres version I have placed up for identification purposes. Once the book is found those details will go on the site and the scans will come down.
It's good to do the right thing by the author/ designer - I just need to find out who they are. Regards Jenny B -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of The Lace Bee I think it is sad that there are many sites around the web where people have put p pictures of the lace they have made without a nod to the designer of the pattern. We see the pictures, fall in love with them and can't then make the piece ourselves. However, what is of more of a concern is that the hard work that designers are putting into their work is being ignored by putting copies of their patterns, to which they own the copyright, into the web for free download. Apart from loosing the income, their hardworking isn't even acknowledged. L PS, sometimes it's not that I'm lurking its just that I'm too busy at work to take part. But I have the most extensive library on how to wash, preserve and make lace from the mails I have read over the years that I've been on acrachne.
