Would you.?
While I understand what you are saying I have to say no. When there is a pattern that is out of print, can't find it anywhere then I begin a major search. Using Ebay, Google and determination I have found just about every pattern I have ever wanted. If I don't find it, then I will look for something as close to it as possible. I recently found a pattern from 1988 on Ebay that I wanted so badly, so it can be done and if not then there are always so many other gorgeous patterns.
