A question - and yet another yawn-worthy knit

 These just came off my knitting needles....
My usual pattern and Kroy sock yarn.

I came across this on Pinterest and was intrigued about the possibilities, but I can't find the originator.  Do any of you know?  I don't want to use the image and then find out I've broken any copyright laws.  I rather suspect it was originally meant to be a quilt pattern so perhaps copyright might not be so much of an issue.  I envision 'lifting' the couple and placing them into a landscape scene.  Thoughts???


And....over the weekend I picked up my new ring which was custom made using 'bits' of gold I had lurking in my jewelry box with the addition of some sapphires (simply because I like them and they are also the stone for September, the month we were married).  It's not a great picture...sorry...

- Although the instructions aren't available for THESE, they show some good ideas for using some of those buttons you have lurking in your stash.

- I rather like THIS and wonder if the technique could be used to create a jacket...hmmm.....

- Those of you who might be interested in weaving would like to see  what THIS amazing artist does (this is only one of her galleries, be sure to check out them all).

- THIS just proves you can make a bag out of pretty much anything.

- HERE is a fun little project that could be adapted to use what you have.

  1. That does look like a quilt pattern--I will look around too and see what I can find;)))
    So far, 18+" of snow has fallen and it is still snowing like crazy--wind howling--sounds like a train...a true blizzard and
    white out conditions--we haven't seen a storm like this one in over 10 years here....hugs, Julierose

  2. Interesting question about the design. If you adapt and change it, that might be fair to the original designer. Not copying though.

    1. If I were to use the design I would adapt it to simplify it and I would just want to use the people - not the background as shown. I'm always leery about using something unless I know for sure it's not going to be a copyright issue.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
