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.
