Oh Those Websites

Hope everyone is enjoying some nice weather. It's been beautiful here this week so I'm going to try not to sound grumpy. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who lets me know when they see one of my patterns being offered or shared somewhere it isn't suppose to be. Yes, it happens (alot) and I promise I'm not going to go into a big bout of "it isn't right", "it is stealing" and so on. I just wanted to tell everyone what I've discovered about a couple of these sites (the ones I'm talking about are all international, free, sharing and forum sites, naming them could be defined as "harressing"). Anyway, everytime I have gone on these sites and registered (you have to be a member to comment, makes sense, they want to know who you are and get your information) in order to ask them to "immediately" remove my patterns and/or images my computer seems to slow down. 

Now maybe this is a coincidence, I am definitely not very computer savy, but when I run a scan, I find tracking cookies, this has happened several times, not just once so I'm pretty convinced it isn't a coincidence. Anyway, it may be nothing, but just in case I wanted to give a heads up to those out there who may be just browsing or visiting these sites for the first time, as for those who are visiting them and happily sharing or taking (I really mean stealing, oops a little grumpy), not just my patterns or images, but lots of other designers as well, maybe what goes around, does come around. Oh darn, that might have sounded grumpy again, sorry about that. Well, sort of. 

Anyway thanks for letting me vent a little and for those of you browsing the web without any bad intentions, please be careful. 

Sharing Pictures of Your Finished Toys

I love it when you send me pictures of your finished toys. Every toy has his or her own unique personality and its fun to see how they turn out.

I thought it would be nice if we could all see them and talk about them. I just set up a new "Cute Crochet"
 group. We'll be able to share pictures, and chat about crocheting. Hope you join us:

Happy crocheting,
