Of course not - that is fair use ;) And yes, what Lucie in Ottawa described, the copyright infringement is more about mass-producing for resale. I would like to add one more thing to this interesting conversation - that I think it is a really good idea to note on one's pricking the source of the pattern, if taken from a book. Often the designer's signature and date are on the pricking, but if not, something about the design source should be noted. If you don't destroy the pricking after use, supposing the pricking is lost and found, the next person knows where to find the original, and you have the information at hand if someone asks (while working on the lace for instance!). By right, the source is important. -- Bev in Sooke BC (on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
