What? Ugggg people!

knittinwolf: ya she wrote really nasty comments on my pattern page accusing me of being disrespectful & stealing

Awww so sorry to hear that You don't deserve that at all!

tinygeekcrafter: guess cause someone else using I-cord in a pattern I'm never allowed to. Sorry didn't know I-cord was copyrighted lol

I'm so sorry sweetie. This makes me so sad.

try not to dwell ( not easy I know)

bloglesscarla: just bothers me so much because she said all of this publicly on my pattern page instead of using PM

I hear you- not nice

I told the troll to be nice & she told me to butt out. So I told her to fuck off. And she told me to grow up. Not all knitters are kind.

And note to self: don't poke the crazy. Lesson learned. High five for an awesome pattern though

boutrosbabe: worried it will make her worse she is full of crazy!!!! Should I report her to Rav before I delete?

Well had over 600 downloads with free promo so guess if only 1 crazy thought it was s*** then I'm doing good

Aw Rachel that's terrible honey! Your pattern is lovely and so are you! I agree with Heather delete that sh*t!

You can delete the comments if you wnnt, Rachel.

*want, even.

sillyfru: I you so much.

that is crazy, I downloaded it and I can't wait to get to make it. I am currently designing my own crocheted bracelets with beads. I am sure there are some like them, but oh well, these came from my head.

They are my stitch counts, my hook size, my beads (which are all different), but may resemble others. I also look at pictures for inspiration, it may not be the same pattern, but look similar, not stolen

boutrosbabe: thanks so much. I will do the same with her PMs to me as well so I have what I need should it escalate or continue

altruismworks: excited to see it! Agree there will always be similarities. Like 2 sock patterns with same heel/ toe are not rip offs

boutrosbabe: yaaa comments & PM screenshot & deleted

altruismworks: yes there are only so many construction techniques some will obviously overlap

sorry to hear about the troll! I was so excited about your pattern, I love it! Thanks for putting it out there!
