I've seen that before - should have thought to send it along myself.


But - what about the stitch diagrams? Are those part of the copyright?

My understanding is that you cannot claim intellectual property rights in
the way a stitch is done, but a diagram is a work of an individual, and so
that person can claim intellectual property rights in that depiction. You
can't claim to have rights over the French knot, which has been done by many
people for a long time, but you could copyright your written instructions or
your illustration of how it is done. If they are in a book or chart, the
copyright of the publication would extend to them.
