Robin says "but because the techniques are her invention, that's getting into infringeing on Cathy's intellectual property (morally, if not legally). I am not comfortable with that.
No matter how much a few of us enjoy it, I'm afraid Cathy's "revolution" may be a quirky lace that fewer and fewer people bother with." However, Cathy quite clearly says in the front of the book in answer to the question "Can I teach others this lace?" "Yes, if you do so without distributing any patterns, descriptions or diagrams from this document. I hold the copyright on this material, but will not trademark the specifics of the technique." If another teacher has worked enough with Cathy or from the book to feel confident to teach the lace, then they will almost certainly have also done some of their own designs and made their own working notes and diagrams, and that is all that she is asking. After all the hard work she put in developing the techniques and writing the book, she would probably be pleased and interested to see it becoming a well known lace instead of fading into obscurity.
