I've looked for your email, but can't seem ...Hello! <BR/><BR/>I've looked for your email, but can't seem to find it here...<BR/><BR/>In regards to your crab (torus) pattern...<BR/><BR/>My mother and I have recently opened a home knitting/spinning/dyeing business, and absolutely love your pattern! Our business is and will stay quite small. (I’m a college student at UW-Madison, studying history, and my mother is a stay at home mom.) We plan to hand spin and dye yarn, and then knit this yarn into soft and cute toys to sell in our store on etsy.com. We do not expect our or aim for large profits, but rather a creative outlet that helps expose more kids (and adults!) to what we think toys should be. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, the reason we are contacting you is because we respect the immense work that you have put into your pattern. We most sincerely hope that you would permit us to use your patterns to create our toys, remembering that they will be entirely hand crafted and of a very high quality. (My mother, the knitter, has been knitting since high school.) We promise that they will make your patterns proud! We would, of course, link to you (your blog, pattern, store, etc) in our description and claim none of the pattern for ourselves. Naturally, we will respect your decision if you feel uncomfortable with giving us the permission to recreate your pattern into a lovable children’s toy.<BR/><BR/>Please get back to us, whether with a yes or no. We would be most grateful if you could be generous in this manner. (rlbates@wisc.edu)<BR/> <BR/>Thanks for your time.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Robin and Pam BatesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
