ok, I don't know .. so please don't shoot me for asking. I found a pattern, I would like to make this pattern w/ a few changes (not just color, but design as well) I would like to sell the finished product. Can I with out violating any copy right laws? I won't be giving the pattern out ... just selling a couple at a local art show and I will be making changes, adding beads, using another type of yarn, adding a border so that the edge isn't the same.

First, what does the designer's disclaimer say? Second, if you change it MORE than 10 percent, it's pretty safe to say it's 'yours'... HTH, Noreen
ok :) I'm sure it's more than 10% ... mostly I just want to use the shape and stitch. Even w/ that the shape insn't all that rare.
From what I understand, and from going to various craft fairs, you can knit a pattern, and sell the finished product, as long as you give credit to the designer/source.

Is the stitch a distinctive pattern? You might need to change that as well.
nope .. anyone that can crochet can do this one :) hi Penny, I didn't know you posted here. ~Kat from MKF-L
I'm a relative newbie here - about six months, maybe a bit longer. I'm a knitter, but I'm trying to learn crotchet. I'm not very far along yet: I find knitting so much faster - I've been knitting since I was 7yo - so I tend to knit in preference.
Of course, I ought to do with crotchet what I did with knitting as a teenager: make a blanket out of squares.
