PATTERNS AND BOOKS ARE INSTANT DOWNLOADS
As soon as you pay through paypal, you'll receive instructions concerning your instant downloads. Follow them and your patterns will be in your hands in moments. This has allowed me to lower prices and add more photos to the patterns! But no system is perfect. If you have trouble or concerns, please contact me with the details of your purchase so your problem can be solved.

A word about copyright
A copyright means that only the person holding it has the right to distribute the work in any form whatsoever. For the books and patterns on this site, that means that you may make as many copies as you need for your own personal use. I know that I make notes on mine, spill on them lose them and print myself more. You may do so as well. I also permit readers to produce knitted items and sell them using my patterns. Passing on the patterns in any form is the prohibited action. I think most of my customers respect that fact and understand that if copyright is breached, it soon becomes un-worthwhile for designers to publish. If you are working for a charity, have a scout troup or some such thing, contact me privately. I often give special permission for such situations. If I do, it will be accompanied by a letter that you should save, formally granting you an exception so that there will never be a question of propriety.

ANSWER LADY goodies make great gifts!
When you click the gift certificate button, a menu will appear that allows you to select the amount. The certificate may be sent by e-mail at a date you specify or you may print it and present it in person. This is a fuss-free way to give Answer Lady items as gifts. The recipient may spend the certificate on anything she wishes. Should you have any problems or questions, get in touch by e-mail and we'll sort them out immediately.

FREE PATTERNS AND ARTICLES and where to find them:
The free items are pdf files. Each one is listed on a link. The link will take you to a file sharing service. Follow the prompts to download and save the file. Many of these files are stored on mediafire which is an entirely reputable and safe file sharing service. However sometimes they will offer you products and scans. I have never tried any so I cannot recommend that you do so. There is no charge and no risk to download the files I sent you to find. Make sure that you are clicking the correct button. Sometimes the other offers are positioned so as to look like the file download option but a careful examination will make things clear.
