Wrong is different than 'changing it'. (ie - the broadstreet mittens). I get very grumpy when this occurs.<BR/><BR/>I think once you step outside the lines of design (not including yarn sub) then you're releasing the designer from liability. Even if it is one section. But, after that section, should you start back into the design again (as long as stitch count, etc. is the same) then you're back to accountability!<BR/><BR/>Does that make sense?<BR/><BR/>Love this post, very thought provoking and near and dear to my heart (or grumpiness)Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787913415571610019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-7037937309643568192009-01-06T23:09:00.000-06:002009-01-06T23:09:00.000-06:00Which is why I thought I'd toss it out for discuss...Which is why I thought I'd toss it out for discussion and get a handle on whether the designers you're talking to are reacting to a very small portion of the knitting public, or whether it's a widespread expectation, that a pattern work no matter what kinds of squirrelly changes a knitter might make.meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567662679581657811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-39588666196354351652009-01-06T23:03:00.000-06:002009-01-06T23:03:00.000-06:00Jenny,This is apparently an incredibly sensitive i...Jenny,<BR/><BR/>This is apparently an incredibly sensitive issue in the designer community (well, at least the Ravelry designer community). I imagine it has to do with the fact that they have to deal with a minority of unreasonable people who would, in fact, demand their money back from the designer, even if said changes were their own. I can't say that I share their opinion, but then again I'm not a designer so I haven't experienced this firsthand.<BR/><BR/>I think any technology that threatens in any potential way to exacerbate this situation is naturally met with fear, uncertainty, and doubt.the fiddlin' foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139395792905529041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-35912186893265813872009-01-06T20:27:00.000-06:002009-01-06T20:27:00.000-06:00I guess if the reason you don't like the pattern h...I guess if the reason you don't like the pattern has to do with your own mods, it's your own dang fault. :) Presumably, you'd be able to tell what your mods did to the original, and whether you like that or not. Even seemingly small changes can have pretty large repercussions sometimes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
