Look. It is OKAY to see something that someone else makes, and make it yourself. If the Lord created us all with the same mind and thoughts, we'd be born without parents and die without a burial. I had a flood of a conversation with a pal at a local Stitch N B**** about "bootlegging."
For those that follow my crochet chronicles, you know that that's how I got re-started... I saw a blanket at Ross Dress For Less, that was $120. The local JoAnn Fabrics was closing and had velour yarn for $1/skein. WWJD? I'm sure the Lord woulda saved that hunnid-twenny and picked up a hook and crocheted it himself. And that's exactly what I did.
Think about painting. In the end it's all about painting the same lines and circles we learned in Kindergarten... Just in different places and ways. In the same eay, the double stitch has no patent. If you can make it, DO IT. Because, I tell ya, that blanket felt so much better than any $120 fall apart Ross blanket. *end rant.*
