These shoes look so cute! I can’t wait to try them. I might also make a version that looks like the Knitted Ugg boots that are so popular.

So cute. Congrats on eight years of fluffball-to-giant-ness.

That is so cool! I didn’t know you’d met him online. You’re right: that “click” when you meet a kindred spirit is priceless… even more so when it turns out to be your soulmate.

Any time you want to road-trip up here, dooo eeet! I’d be tickled to play tour guide (read: have someone to explore the area with a bit more). You guys are always welcome.

You know, it’s even more priceless when the person you first knew online happens to be the love of your life. Mike and I met online. He’s the only person I’ve met online that I’ve met in real life (so far). I knew within a month of meeting him that I would spend the rest of my life with him.
Sounds like you had a great time with your friend! I should make a road trip up to Michigan at some point.

Seriously!!… although I have to admit that I was just checking out my student bill for this semester online, and was appalled to find almost $1,000 in fees that… I don’t even know WHAT the hell they’re for. All of higher education is a serious racket, I think, but one we’re willingly buying into.

After this semester, financial aid *should* cover my textbooks and such. The payments just aren’t going to come through fast enough for me to be able to get my books on time this time through.

Sorry for the crudeness, but I always feel raped after having to buy text books. It’s an insanely profitable industry.

I know so little about copyright issues that I should probably not give any advice on it at all, heh. Personally, I worry so much about stepping on someone else’s toes and getting in trouble for it, that I never sell publicly (meaning, like, on Etsy) anything that someone else designed, unless the designer gives permission to do so.

So… for example, just me personally, I’d never sell anything from a pattern that came out of a published book. But if I wanted to sell something made from a free pattern that was online, and especially if the designer happens to be on Ravelry too, I’d contact them and see what they thought about it. I mean, the worst they can do is say no, right?

Designing your own stuff is easy once you’ve done it a time or two. Start easy – hats, scarves – and don’t be afraid to frog. Heh.

A few people have told me I should sell some of my knitted stuff on Etsy (some of it should never see the light of day, but anyway…).
My question is: Can you sell something that is someone else’s design but that you knitted? This is why I haven’t sold anything yet, because I’m just stepping into the murky waters of designing things myself.
What do you know about the copyrights of all that stuff, if anything?
PS i love that color red and if I didn’t live in California where it rarely requires a neck warmer, I’d knit one up right quick!
