I wonder what the average amount of time is for designing a pattern? When we ask people to contribute a pattern to a project are we essentially asking for 50 hours of their time? At a rate of say, $10 an hour, is it the same as soliciting $500 from people or asking them to provide over a week a

These patterns on the whole are very easy to draft from the photographs. I remember they were on sale when OIDFA were in Brighton, many years ago, and one look at the price very quickly convinced me that I would just carry on drafting any that I wanted to work. This also has the advantage
