Well said! Although I am firm in my stand for personal use that if I can draft it I can make it, and even though I drafted it out, I bought Elizabeth Hartman's Hazel Hedgehog because I was only copying her original product. It didn't come from any idea other than her idea and I was not comfortable "stealing" it, it would have always been attributed to that designer and that pattern anyway. Still haven't made it and when/if I do I will probably use my drafted pattern because that's how I'm used to working.
