Wendy...don't let people like that get you down. Anyone should realize that you deserve the blessing having your patterns in a book is...you deserve it!!!! I hope the rest of your week is awesome.

Okay, I have you on my Google Reader feed and I usually just glance at your beautiful work, never really taking the time to read your blogs. I read this one. I love that you want to talk openly about this subject. As a crocheter myself, I know how long it takes to just make something off a pattern. My mind reels at the thought of creating a pattern, let alone a tutorial, from scratch.

I was originally drawn to your blog because of your yoyo tutorial. I loved that it was free. After reading this I want to buy the book. God bless Annie's Attic for bringing some well deserved income into your home. I'm seriously fired up about buying books before I browse for free patterns now. I think as a community, we should support our fellow crafters. Otherwise, you're right. The art will die.

Thank you!

You are so lucky to have a publisher notice you and offer to pay you what you love to do so much that most of the time you do it for free. I am so happy that you have had that opportunity and I am going to go buy a copy of the book this weekend. Everyone who supports your work should write a thank-you note to Annie's Attic for providing a professionally done publication of one of our favorite projects.

I'm a lurker... but I have to come out of the woodwork on this one.
You have every right to be upset with someone coming in to your website and wagging their finger at you (and others).
It is a foolish and selfish person who doesn't think to take into consideration all the facts and attacks.
Long live Free Enterprise!

I want to thank you all. I had a horrid day yesterday and this was a sort of thing that was the straw that broke the camels back. I really appreciate all of you and your continued support of me and my blog and for those that have bought books for some support to my family's needs. I am indebted and grateful
Much love
Wendy

I thought that these things happen only in my country. Now I see that people are the same everywhere - grateful and ungrateful. Some come, cheer up, write a comment. Others are only interested in their own benefit and there is not thanks for the gift received. I have a similar problem. I try to share what I learned about bobbin lace. I give my patterns and tutorials completely for free and then I see that are sold elsewhere. I wanted to give up, but there is the second part of the decent people for whom I do like.

I think that what you are doing is great. Please, do not be disgusted! We need teachers, authors of book, enthusiasts like you, let everything beautiful in the world isn´t disappeared.

Please excuse my English.

And as a work from home Mum who does just that and is currently paying the mortgage while my DH is a student, I say thank you for being so eloquent and correct!

Bottom line,this is your blog, your space and you do not have to explain anything. Keep it all in perspective and remember how many more (lots!) of happy readers you have. Don't let the minority spoil it for you. It is just impossible to please everyone all of the time. Keep doing what you are doing.We (and there's lots ofus) enjoy and appreciate what you do.

PS I bought the YoYo book and love it. Thank you.

I find your blog and work an inspiration. It has lead me to try new things, like Romanian Lace, that I would never have done. With all that you have given to me through your work here I am so delighted that you can make a living at it. You deserve to publish and be recognized for the good work you do. There are always ugly people making ugly comments but the good out weigh the bad by far.

How does that saying go .. you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people, all of the time? something like that?

You are entitled to make a living. period.

Keep your chin up ..

Hi Wendy
being part of your blog and watching the things you make grow into beautiful pieces of art and craft, I get the feeling you are a warm and friendly person who loves sharing what you learn and make for your family and friends. Either for gain or pleasure that is for you to decide you owe no-one explanation, I for one bought your book and couldn't wait for it to arrive I will be buying another for a friend as a gift soon. As I said I feel warmth from your love of craft and icy cold from anonymous who probably hasn't got a clue how to love or make anything at all. love and hugs from Liverpool England June xx

Don't let haters like that get you down! Especially those haters that post anonymously! Ugh! You were absolutely right to pursue publication of your beautiful patterns and I think having them published at Annies Attic will reach more crafters over the years than any tutorial on a blog. Also, any internet user knows to print out or download instructions lest they disappear unexpectedly. Your work is truly inspirational! .
