I appreciate it, I really do. Yesterday I was in a lot of pain and it was
late at night when I first read the posts.
I got up this morning intending to look up the magazine on the interent and
email them explaining what I'd done, and apologizing. However, I've
discovered that the magazine is listed as defunct in Wikipedia. I'm not
sure what that means in this case. But better safe than sorry, right?
Thanks for your patience,
Murielle

IIRC, the copyright is still valid for 30-some-odd years from the
original date, and it can be renewed for another 30-some-odd if the
original copyright holder does it.

Ah well. I think if I wasn't dealing with some health issues I wouldn't
have overeacted. (Not my usual response.) At least I sincerely hope I
wouldn't have over reacted. However, my mind was completely blown by the
notion that knitting patterns would have the same copyright restrictions as
everything else. I don't know why it never occurred to me, especially since
whenever I've had the means to share the pattern I have done so since the
mid-ninties. We're not talkning a one-of situation here. To say I was
shocked is a complete understatment. I was utterly gobsmacked. I mean, I
should know better. I've edited newsletters for years and I can't tell you
how many battles I've had when someone wanted to "just copy the story from
the net and reprint it in our little publication. And now, to realize that
I've been doing virtually the same thing with the "Di" patterns for almost
two decades. Doh! Double Doh! (Hard head-desk!)
Anyway, thanks to everyone for helping me sort it out, and I do apologize
for being so grouchy, it was completely uncalled for.
Sincerely,
Murielle
(I do hope this makes some sense as it's way past my bedtime. ;-))

Oh there are some pattern designers who will sue people who distribute
their knitting patterns elsewhere, even for free. There are huge threads
on copyrights on some of the web based forums too.
