I did read Antje's blog at the time but I wonder if the patterns on Pinterest really have that big an influence on the sale of the magazine. I have opened some of these scanned patterns but find them of no use what so ever. The resolution is so small that once the pattern is enlarged the lines are so indistinct that the pattern is of no use what so ever. One is also not sure of the correct size etc etc. Now when I see a nice pattern on the internet I am much more interested in the origin than even considering opening the pattern. What have other people found? I also object to the stealing of patterns and not giving credit etc etc but I find my interest is more stimulated by seeing the prickings and then buying the book. For us in South Africa the Lace Express has become very expensive.

And they are not the only ones. Have a nice day... - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
