Pattern and Copyright

I finished knitting another hat.



I used 2 strands of wool for this hat (and for the first time ever made up my own knitting pattern -  to get the right size for my large head!)
If you would like the pattern I have posted it on Ravelry and (fingers crossed!) here is a link to a PDF for the pattern -

I really made the hat to go with this beautiful button I bought at the Victoria Beach Quilt Show last summer. It is made by a local, talented artist - Pat (blog - fishwifetales) in polymer clay.



Even the back of the button is beautiful.

The following is a short rant (I could, and have had lots to say on the subject)!
I planned that this would be my first pattern on Ravelry, but someone took that privilege from me and put one of my other patterns on Ravelry, and even lifted a picture from my blog without my permission (something not usually approved on Ravelry). I had to write in and have my pattern linked to me on Ravelry. I don't have a problem with my patterns or pictures being used elsewhere, they are, but people have always asked permission. We all work hard and take great pride in what we create - common courtesy goes a long way!
Whew! That feels good to get it off my chest! Thanks for listening!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
