But really?
My post from 2010 that went totally ignored until Jan & March of 2012. (The stats features in WordPress rock) I was wondering why that was getting so many hits – because let’s face it, it’s not my best post or best color choice by any means. I even made a glaringly huge mistake in my sort-of-directions. (Which btw is that it’s all done with sc 1, ch 1 if you give a damn.)
If you don’t feel like clicking the link:
Gee I can’t imagine where on earth they got this idea (that was published shortly after my post was getting regular hits).

So to my friends at Lily: I would be nice if you would give a girl the heads-up you were liking her stuff. Just sayin’. Or perhaps give her a book deal. Or a job. I happen to love yarn and have lots of experience.
It has been said that mimicry is the most sincere form of flattery.
{Thanks for liking it, I’m blushing}
Now go out there and have a ridiculously amazing day friends!

Yip, that’s your concept all right. At least you know you’re designing and making stuff that has real value… 🙂 Now you need to come up something so impossibly and unbelievably unique that anything even vaguely similar from anyone else will be a clear infringement of your rights.

Thanks for the kind words Jill. I especially liked the words ‘real value’ because they are giving it away for free – the irony is not lost on me 🙂 I wasn’t trying to be bitter about, I guess, but all it would have taken was an email saying, ‘hey, we liked your idea!’ With my sense of humor, I suppose if I were to come up with something totally unique I would end up on the What Not to Crochet blog and then I would be THAT GIRL again.
