ABOUT COPYRIGHT - LET’S DO WHAT’S RIGHT It may seem harmless, but for every pattern that is purchased by one knitter, then shared
freely with others, there is a real person who feels the loss. Independent designers devote their time, energy, and creativity to publishing
unique, high-quality patterns—for many, it is their livelihood. Pattern sharing hurts real people. It’s time to care. Please don’t share.
