I do not have a problem with people/groups using my patterns to make a little extra money by physically making them and selling the items they make.

 

However, I do not permit the selling of my patterns for money. I have once given permission for a booklet to be made of them for a charitable sale and I may do so again *if I am asked* and if it is for a church, charity or school type group. But first you have to ask.

 

Furthermore, If you choose to use my patterns as a money maker , I do not permit my images to be used for any advertizing of your work. You must make your own item and photograph that. These images are as much a part of my Web image as a designer as the patterns are and I reserve that use to myself alone.

Oh too cute! You must have an endless imagination.

[craziebunny]

This pattern is 2 years old

[Paganprincess]

just awesome!!!! I could spend forever making doll clothes from your patterns:)

[dolliejay]

Can you explain the torso rows of the capri patter? When you say join with 6 sc , do we SC in the same stich 6 times or should we count 3 dc stiches on each side from the stitch where we finish the leg row and do one sc in each of those dcs? Can you explain which stitch is center front and which stitch is called center back?

[darski]

I mean that you are to sc the two legs together by working sc into both legs 6 times.

 

 

 

 

hope the pics help.

 

I did not get notice of your post so I am a tad late getting here

[pjwood38]

I am having great difficulty following this pattern. Stickers aren't counting correctly, don't no if I need to turn or which row I am working on top of, after 1a I am lost.
