patterns

Dear Catherine - You might try reading yourself. My name is SHELAGH...... look at the end of the post. Man, you're as dumb as a bag of hammers, and you and your buddies are off to filter land. I felt sorry for your knitting buddy at first, but I don't anymore. With friends like you, she doesn't need enemies. Besides, with all the free patterns available on the web these days, who would bother paying for the patterns of an amateur?

Buzz off, and leave our nice group alone.

S-H-E-L-A-G-H. S-H-E-L-A-G-H. S-H-E-L-A-G-H

Then you misspelled it yourself in your post headers.

Mirjam, Noreen will be back soon.

Kather> Shelagh ,,,,,, Well written ,,,, i am tired of all this mud slingimg ,

Thank you j999ax , for your suggestion , but i don`t think i am interested. My Art and craft basic techniques were taught to me by other persons , or developed by former generations , who all gave it to us as a cultural inheritance , none of us invented the wheel, We only could elaborate and develope those basic skills and maybe give the next generations a few new ideas that we added to these Human skills ..... As a woman i enjoy things/rights other women fought for, i hope that i have gained somethings for the next generation of women.

If sombody pays me for my lesson to her , i won`t charge for every time she teaches it and gets paid for it ,,,,On the contrary i am happy and proud of her. There is a limit to all liscensing copyrights etc... It begins to look like those Pyramida Sales ,,,, The one on top always culling from those under him ..... That is a most Capitalistic idea , This wil always keep the rich rich and the less fortunate at the botton , as they have to `pay ` up the whole ladder, ,, After i covered my intial cost i should not benefit from others. I told you the story, about the Photo taking, because i found it funny, as wel as nice that people like it and think they can enjoy it and spread the idea,,, [ think how many Shoulder pads will now be used and not be thrown into the Junk bins !!!isn`t that a reward in itself ????] next year i will see many little Grand Craft works hahahhah to mine . All in all my Art works are unique enough and nobody could copy them

100% , i have my own thread Line ,,,,, so much so that i met somebody who told me she saw my work at ??? i said no way did i show there ,,,,, it seemed it was a Shirt i wove and sewed almost 15 years ago .. and she recognized it as mine . Thank you for the suggestion, mirjam ...
