Dear Copyright Infringer:

http://weewonderfuls.typepad.com/wee_wonderfuls/2008/04/definitely-not.html

I won't even mention your company name here, for fear of driving up your spot on google's search ranks. You know who you are, and if my readers don't, they can read your name on photos of the toys you made at a factory in the Philippines after stealing the design from an independent artist and trying to pass it off as your own.

You're a fraud, a fake, and a liar. You suck.

Sincerely,

The entire legitimate Internet crafting community

Knitters beware - read if you dare

You really have to have read the lead-up posts about knitting the leaves and the sock to get the full impact of this post. Let's just say I hit the climax of the story and threw up a little in my mouth, it's that distressing. At least to a knitter with a bit of a perfectionism problem ... my husband would probably be like, "oh, that's a shame." No, this is a tragedy for which there is not enough alcohol or chocolate in the world to aid recovery. The type of tragedy that makes you want to bang your head on the desk and ask, "why me? WHY ME????" and then possibly flush the project down the toilet, just to spite it.
