The Rules
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 http://noreensknitche.com/patterns http://noreensknitche.weblogs.us/ ++ either strip *tease* OR change n e t to c o m to email or reply to me. |

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. HTH Katherine |

Is the stitch a distinctive pattern? You might need to change that as well. -- Penny Gaines UK mum to three |

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. -- Penny Gaines UK mum to three |
