Gromit and Rachel

[Rachelsteiner]

Hi I am Rachel and I live in Jerusalem Israel. I really want to start crocheting dolls and I have a friend who would just love the gromit one. I also knit a lot (pssss- can we mention knitting here!).

 

Why can't I access the gromit pattern tho!?

Hello Rachel and welcome!!

 

I think the Gromit pattern may have been removed from the site. Yarnaholic (one of the sites moderators) poasted recently about copyright infringmentson derivitive works of copyrighted/licensed characters. you can read what she had to say http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=37194 and I feel this could very well be the reason the pattern can no longer be found in Crochetville.

 

Perhaps the person within Crochetville who did design Gromit can write to the owners of whoever produces this program and ask for their PERMISSION to distribute their pattern freely. Never know your luck!!

Thanks for that

 

I am dying to make an amigugugug thingy. So far my crochet skills have been used to make Jewish Yarmulkes in single crochet often combining different colours and patterns, beanie hats in double crochet and a lovely wooly shawl for me. I have only just learnt crochet pattern interpretation - the shawl I just copied from a friend by drawing out in rachel-speak what I had to do. I seem to find crocheting with thick thread in single crochet difficult - the holes inbetween are too big - yuk. I really want to do a bucket hat too. Hopefully I will find a lot of ideas and help on this forum

 

 

 

thanks

It sounds like you have achieved a lot with very little help! Congratulations about that. I had to laugh at your "rachel speak", but at least you have found a way to do what works. Ask anything here, we're always around to help! If you have a hunt around in the Seeking Locals Crocheters forum you may find others in your area who'd be willing to meet up at a cafe and over a chat and a cuppa show you some things. Crochetville is truly inspiring! Don't forget to post photos of your works when you get the time. I have a young daughter too so I know what that is like. Best wishes on your crochet and your lil family

Rachel, yes, Shell is right that the Gromit pattern has been removed due to trademark/copyright infringement issues. The post she references gives all the detailed information about the issues involved.

 

If the designer of the pattern can obtain permission fromthe Gromit trademark holder to distribute the pattern, we'll be happy to add the pattern back to the regular part of the site.
