Hi! I’m a knitwear designer and I would love to use one of the lace borders you have translated for a design. Do you allow designers to use these stitch directions/charts in any way? I would love to know. Thank you!
Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for asking! I do allow my modernised directions to be used in commercial patterns. All I ask is a copy of the finished pattern and credit with a link to, or the address of my website.
